Pastors Baraka and his wife serve a local church in Kisumu, Kenya, alongside the Mission Assistance team. Their ministry is rooted in a slum community where the church continues to grow as a place of worship, care, and practical support. The past year reflected steady work in evangelism, discipleship, and service to vulnerable families.

The church was established and continues to function through the support of sponsors and partners who enable both spiritual ministry and social programs. Through this support, the church has been able to preach the Gospel, introduce Christ into families, and provide consistent help to those in need within the community.

The first Sunday of 2026 was marked by a united time of prayer for one another and for the new season ahead. The focus shared with the congregation was a desire to grow deeper in relationship with Jesus. Regular ministries for children, pre-teens, teens, and youth paused briefly at the start of the year and are resuming this week.

As part of caring for the church family, elderly members were blessed with food baskets to help meet basic household needs. Toward the end of the year, the church’s sports ministry celebrated the promotion and belt awards of its taekwondo team. This ministry continues to serve as an effective avenue for engaging young people in the slum areas and sharing the Gospel through discipline, mentorship, and consistent presence.

The daily feeding program remains a central part of the church’s outreach. Through ongoing support, meals are now provided to 190 individuals from vulnerable backgrounds, including single mothers, grandparents, orphans, and families unable to afford daily food. This work continues through the support of sponsors who give through IMOCE, ensuring that vulnerable people receive regular nourishment.

The church, its ministries, and social programs continue to move forward with gratitude for all who support this work financially and in prayer, enabling ongoing service to God and to people in Kisumu.
