  1. This is excellent work. Hope and pray that the church leaders can maintain the momentum and remain focused to the main agenda.

    Issues like wrangling in the church should be un heard off. Can the church leaders who have issues especially in Machakos CCI diocese borrow a leaf from this.

    In fact its very disappointing to here that they are planting churches on grabbed land!
    Can the current Bishop (Joshua Kitonga)stop this culture of church leaders.

    Kudos Bishop Mulandi. God is taking you places.
