District Superintendent

Nazarene Bible College of East Africa Report

To Rev. Don Gardener, the FSC Africa East Field and the chair of today's assembly; Rev.

Gerphas Oure, the District Superintendent, pastors, delegates and all guests

I greet you in the gracious name of our Lord and Savior. It is such a joy to be part of today's

celebration. NBCEA is presently in 14 districts in Africa East Field and this district is one of our

most potential district. Thank you for supporting our vision which is "to be transformative

training centers that produces leaders with Christ-like character."

Concerning academic matters, last year we had more than 30 classes taught across the field. Our

database shows that 4 classes were taught in the district by pastor Eliud Kiptarus. I congratulate

Pastor Benson Nguli, the student who took the highest number of classes in the year 2016 and

will be graduating soon. Benson took an extra mile of making several trips to take his classes at

Rongai. I encourage our students to follow the same step. The district has a pool of teachers

including Rev. Ng'ena, Rev. Kisoi, Rev. Mwangangi, Rev. Kuvuna, Rev, Carol Musili, Revs.

Muthama and many more coming up. Please let u appreciate our teachers. I challenge each

teacher to make sure you teach at least 2 classes in the year 2017.

NBCEA classes for the year 2017 started on 16th January with 14 students, that is evening,

regular and online classes. Our goal is to provide a training opportunity for each of our leaders

effectively. Although these classes are being coordinated from the Rongai Center, we are

encouraging students from this district to enroll. I want to challenge each pastor or church to

send atleast one student to NBCEA. I believe the future of each local church in this district will

be determined by the number of leaders trained at NBCEA. The University church of the

Page 18: 2017 DISTRICT JOURNAL - Church of the Nazarenenazarene.org/sites/default/files/doclib/dj2017/Kenya Eastern 2017.pdf · KENYA EASTERN DISTRICT ASSEMBLY 2017 DISTRICT JOURNAL 18th February

Nazarene has sent 6 of their key leaders to our colege, the largest number ever sent to NBCEA

by a single church. These leaders are already making a difference in their local church.

Concerning clergy development, I urge our ministers that have graduated from either NBCEA or

ANU to engage in lifelong learning that is required by our church. This applies to all ministers,

whether ordained or not. We are supposed to invest a minimum of 20 hours every year in

continuous learning. Whenever a learning opportunity is provided, I encourage you to take

advantage of it, may it be seminar, a conference or a regular course.

As we work towards complying with the Kenyan system of education, we are asking all our

students to provide our register's office with their secondary school transcripts so that we can be

able to determine whether they qualify for the diploma in theology program. However,

everybody, including those who nave never stepped in any formal school qualifies for our

certificate program.

NBCEA fees per unit will remain to be Ksh. 550 for the second year according to last year's

BOT meeting. I urge our students to take advantage if this offer before it expires. When the

management team meets within the next three months, it is more likely the fees will go up.

As I conclude, I invite you to support the NBCEA principal's trip to the Global Nazarene

Education Consortium (GNEC) that will take place in June this year. Members of the Alumni

Association are expected to lead in this project. Your prayers and financial support are highly

appreciated.

Be blessed as we continue serving our Master and King of kings. We wish you a happy year

2017

REPORT OF THE DISTRICT ADVISORY BOARD 19TH FEBRUARY 2017

Brethren I greet you all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, this is the report for the DAB for

the past on year.

1. Division of the District

The members strongly felt that the district should be divided into two separate districts

i.e. Eastern and Coastal District. The need has been felt since 2009, but the District has

not fulfilled the requirements stipulated in the Manual. Today the district has fulfilled all

those conditions and it is our prayer that we shall now succeed in our application for the

same.

2. DS Journey to the General Assembly

Our District Superintendent will attend the General Assembly in USA in June this year. s

such the DAB passed that each church must give Ksh. 2000/- for his fare to the Assembly

3. District Centre

The construction is still going on at our Kabati centre. The District centre at Kilifi need

Ksh. 600,000/- so far they have raised Ksh. 54,000/-

4. Giving

pastors are still reminding to be faithful to all our financial obligation, let us pay our

district budget in full and OWE funds, let us always remember to pay Ks. 1,500/- for the

district Assembly. Let us also be appreciative to our spiritual father the DS by giving

generously to the DS basket. Pastors are also reminded to be good tithers. The District

budget is Ksh. 7,000/- for the organized churches and Ksh. 5.000/- for preaching points.

All churches must pay Ksh. 1,000/- for OWE.

5. NBCEA

Pastors are still being reminded that it is very important for them to take NBCEA classes

very seriously.

6. Radio Training

Radio training programmes are taking place in different parts of our district. Let's pray

that this ministry will help us in our evangelism quest.

AEF SDMI REPORT TO THE DISTRICT ASSEMBLY KENYA EASTERN 18TH

FEBRUARY 2017

The General Superintendent Dr J. Warrick, the Regional director Dr Filimao Chambo, the Chairman of

this assembly Rev Don Gardner, the District Superintendent Rev Augustus Musili all the pastors, the

delegates and visitors to this assembly I greet you in Jesus Name.

In our Manual 812 series it talk about SDMI. The Mission statement for SDMI is to carry out the Great

Commission to children, youth and adults in preparation for a lifetime of making Christ-like disciples in

the nations. Mathew 28: 19-20

SDMI is the heart of the Church I am hoping that every pastor is involved with SDMI in his / her local

church.

The purpose of SDMI is fourfold:

To intentionally develop relationships with the unreached people for the purpose of bringing them

to Christ and disciple them

To teach the word until children, youth and adults are saved, sanctified wholly and maturing in

Christian experience.

To help Christians to grow spiritually by involving them in evangelism, Christian education and

disciple making.

To encourage children, youth and adults to enroll in Sunday school and be faithful attendance.

Last year I gave out the materials to all SDMI Superintend in the active Churches I am hoping the

material was helpful for them. I would be happy to hear the report from the district SDMI.

This will help me know where you are and how I can come to support what you are doing.

There was a plan for the women conference is it still in the pipeline or it died. If it is still in the pipeline

can we come up with the dates and venue so that we can plan for the speakers?

I know this district is doing great things so keep up and let us know what you are doing in your district.

Respectively submitted,

Rev Elizabeth Musimbi,

AEF SDMI Coordinator

“Intentionally making Christ like disciples in all the Nation” Mathew 28:19-20
