God anoints a special person to complete his mission and deliver his message to every generation. This is what God has done with Pastor David Oloo. He has called him for the people of Homa Bay in Kenya. He draws strength from the message of the second greatest commandment which instructs Christians to love their neighbors as they love themselves.
Obeying the voice of God, the man of God worked hard to establish an orphanage between 2005 and 2008. The orphanage targeted children left behind by parents who succumbed to the deadly AIDS scourge. They would find a home under the care of his father Bishop Nashon. Starting with a group of fifteen children, the home has gradually expanded and is able to accommodate more children.
With limited resources and an ever growing demand the ministry has been strained. The elder children in the home require more than food, shelter and clothing. New children are coming into the home. This has sent the care givers into a frantic search for resources to ensure that the children under their care never walk hungry or naked. The servant of God also wants to ensure that no one coming to him for assistance will return empty handed.
The number of children in the orphanage has been rising steadily and has gone beyond 25. It is no longer easy to effectively cater for their needs without straining or to guarantee a future for them. The need to assist families bearing the burden of adopting children orphaned by HIV/AIDS has been pronounced by the need to end the cycle of poverty in these families. This servant of God has taken up the responsibility.
Pastor Oloo has given up his youth to serve the orphans and his ministry. Having given his all to the children and the ministry, his strength and resources are also overstretched. He learnt ministry and has worked as a senior pastor at Christ Faith Evangelic Church. This has seen the ministry grow by leaps and bounds. This ministry is in fact in the process of transforming.
Christ Faith Evangelical Church has taken a new route to enhance its effectiveness in delivering the gospel. It has transformed into Good Shepherd House of Worship. The aim of this transformation is to provide a holy place for worshipers to encounter God instead of sticking with the conservative idea of a church. The shift is inspired by the change in name when Saul became Paul in order to deliver the message of God better.
The religious and ethnic diversity in Kenya has been viewed as a blessing. The beauty of its landscape is matched by a population that is both hopeful and kindhearted. However, this beauty fails to shine when a large number is suffering from sickness and poverty. It is upon the efforts of Pastor Oloo and well wishers to keep the smile on the faces of afflicted families and especially children.
Donor funds received by the ministry in the past have been administered in a very transparent manner. The projects initiated by this servant of God have been beneficial to numerous children. Donors who found time to visit the place were very impressed by his progress. It is only through well wishers that children in Homa-Bay have come to see the God in their daily life.
