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.
