Youth Month
The month of August is finally here with us. These month is usually set aside as the youth month in our diocese. It is the month where we see a lot of activity and movement within the youth fraternity.
A brief recap of the previous month:
The MPW did take place on 11th July 2008 and it was such an amazing event. (A detailed report was posted earlier on this site).
On the 26th of July 2008, Eastern and Kasarani Archdeaconries were able to hold their sports’ days. Preliminary reports are that the events were a success and they are really geared for the Diocesan event which is scheduled to take place on 25th October 2008. All the other archdeaconries are being encouraged to prepare to hold their event before the diocesan one.
On the same day (26th July), Northwest Archdeaconry was able hold their drama festival.
This month as earlier mentioned, has a lot going on especially at the grassroots (our churches). A few things that are worth noting are noting are; the Provincial KAYO Conference that was scheduled to take place this month has been rescheduled until further notice. Also, the Diocese of Nairobi KAYO enrollment that is scheduled to take place on 30th August has been postponed to 13th December 2008.

As we speak right now, the memories of 11th July night are still fresh especially to those who managed to show up at the KAYO (MPW) Mega Praise & Worship Edition II at the ACK St. Monica’s Dandora. The night was extremely chilly yet hundreds of young people braved it all, just to give their hearts and minds to the one and only Lord and savoir Jesus Christ. The event took off slightly after the 2121hrs run off time but it did not disappoint. According to the records, there were 26 churches represented and the turn up was in hundreds.
The event also enjoyed the gracing of the Diocesan chairperson, the Rev. Jonathan Kabiru and the Host church Vicar, the Rev. Stephen Njoroge. Their presence and significance was so paramount and can only be likened to that of the priests when Joshua was crossing yonder the flooded river Jordan, with the Israelites. Many many Thanks for coming to bless the occasion with such love. The event started off with a dedication and soul searching session courtesy of Timo, the opening collect was offered by the Rev. Kabiru leaving the meeting open for St. Monica’s praise and worship team to engage the youth.
More thanks go to the St Andrew’s (StAY) and St Mary’s (SMY) for their hearty and much needed support in enhancing the sound through contributing equipment to boost that of Dandora. Music is nothing without quality sound, especially in this age and century where quality production cannot be comprised or overlooked. This was the second edition of the event which began last year May at the Good Samaritan Komarock, it comes once a year.
The Wind of Grace was next with a worship moment then praises, so electrifying it was is the youth wanted some more but they had to wait coz at this point the WORD was ready. Kenince Mbithi aka MR. KAYO ’08, was fielding questions from the coordinator and the congregation would also get an opportunity to react or respond to some of the questions. It was more of a talk show but touching on worship. The congregation had also a few questions to address. It was a lovely experience.
The St. Mary’s Kabete (SMY) praise team had done their home work well and got the crew on its feet for a dance during the praises and for an intimacy during worship. It was great being in the presence of the King of Kings. Those who got to miss out simply because the event was in DANDORA, all we can say is sorry. Check out our local listing for the edition three next year. There was enough refreshment for everyone. In general the event was a success and all praise be to God. That Worship is a life not a session and the altar in the temple must contain fresh fire not previous ashes. We need to up our game and transform the age.
We thank all who were involved in the organization of and the material day as well; the teams that ministered, the executive committee, the churches which attended and all our prayer partners. Keep it Impact, keep it Change. 1 Tim 4: 12. Baraka tele milele.

Birthing and Mentoring A Generation - The Launch
Mentorship refers to a developmental relationship between a more experienced mentor and a less experienced partner referred to as a protégé—a person guided and protected by a more prominent person (ref Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentoring).
Mentoring is a process that is based upon a relationship that a mentor opens up his/her life to the person that that is being mentored.
A mentorship is a supportive relationship established between two individuals where knowledge, skills, and experience are shared. The mentee is someone seeking guidance in developing specific competencies, self-awareness, and skills in early intervention. The mentor is a person who has expertise in the areas of need identified by the mentee and is able to share their wisdom in a nurturing way.
In this relationship, the mentee has the opportunity to ask questions, share concerns, and observe a more experienced professional or parent within a safe, protected environment. Through reflection and collaboration between the mentor-mentee pair, the mentee can become more self-confident and competent in their integration and application of the knowledge and skills gained in the mentorship demonstrating best practice.
Mentoring helps people walk through life with peace and understanding. We want to lead people to a deeper, more intimate relationship with Jesus. He is our only true counselor and our prayer is that He can use us to assist you in your time of need. We all need to be reminded from time to time that God loves us
The mentorship established between two individuals is unique to their needs, personality, learning styles, expectations, and experiences.
Christian mentorship is more like discipleship since the focus here is Christ. It basically points to God. People get mentored in faith and in life; it provides a relationship; it helps in empowering; equipping not only to grow personally but also start the cycle all over by being ready to mentor others.
So many examples can be given from the Bible where mentorship/discipleship took place:
• Jethro mentored Moses; Moses mentored Joshua and the elders of Israel. Joshua mentored the other army leaders.
• Deborah mentored Barak.
• Eli mentored Samuel
• Samuel mentored Saul and David who became Israel's greatest king.
• Ahithophel and Nathan the prophet also mentored David.
• David mentored his army commanders and government officials, to establish the united nation of Israel. David also
mentored Solomon.
• Solomon mentored the Queen of Sheba, who returned to her people with his wisdom in the form of Proverbs that
applied God's laws.
• Elijah mentored Elisha.
• Elisha mentored king Jehoash and others.
• Daniel mentored Nebuchadnezzar, who humbled himself before God.
• Mordecai mentored Esther
• Esther mentored King Artaxerxes, which resulted in liberating God's people.
• Jesus mentored the twelve apostles who established the Christian church.
• The twelve mentored hundreds of other leaders, including Paul.
• Paul mentored Titus, Timothy and many others.
• Timothy mentored "faithful men" such as Epaphras.
• Epaphras and the other faithful men mentored "others also" (2 Timothy 2:2) which led to a chain reaction that
resulted in dozens of new churches in Asia.
So much can be said about mentoring. Well, this time round, KAYO, Diocese of Nairobi will be rolling out its own mentorship programme. The programme will be launched at a colourful dinner to be held on 28th June 2008 at ACK St. James Buruburu. The event has been dubbed as the KAYO Alumni Dinner Launch since the youth seek to tap into the wide range of would be mentors some of whom have been identified as those who served before them in the Youth Ministry. The theme is “Birthing and Mentoring a Generation.”
The charges are Ksh 500 for the youth and Kshs 800 for Alumni. The dinner starts at 4pm and ends at 8:30pm. Deadline for registration and confirmation has been given as Thursday, June 26th 2008. All payments to be made at Imani House or to the KAYO treasurer – CDO.
The main objectives of the dinner are:
- Bridge the gap between KAYO and Mothers’ Union and KAMA, thus ensure young people have mentors.
- Enable former KAYO members keep in touch with KAYO and its activities, therefore offer support where they can,
especially in areas of expertise.
- Create a forum where young married adults can meet and share experiences and problems under the guidance of older
couples.
- Encourage youth to be part of KAYO.
Preparations for this event are in top gear. The morale among the youth in the Diocese is quite high.
“So it would be a great place to start searching if you've been praying for a Christian partner who has elegance, a sense of humour, style, a person after God's own heart...
Before we all get carried away, we're looking for mentors. That's the primary objective.”
This was said by one youth member who is really looking forward to the event.
For any clarification or for more information concerning the event, kindly write an email to kaynairobi@gmail.com, or call 0728 055500. For those who are unable to pay before the deadline, kindly get in touch through the above contacts.
