EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

All of us would give thanks to God who took us through this year 2015. It

was one of the most attractive years as we experienced interactive

participation from both local and our international partners.

The co-operation and fellowship was of its own kind as we joined hands in

fulfilling our mandate of building leaders and networks of churches for move

flourishing and effective work.

The activities were focused at the most needy areas especially those areas

that have not been reached and to those leaders who never had opportunity

for trying to help their churches be more organized.

We involved leaders in several meetings for leadership training,

conferences, seminars, church planting activities and church building

projects which were part and parcel of the years work programme.

These activities involved various resources that included modern, human

and financial resources both from our local partner and the VMC Canada.

We all appreciate other partner, who contributes our overall success.

Our Management Board and the VMK Staff director did commendable job to

lead and facilitate all.

The organs and department of the organization such that we could reach

this level of success. The Board and the partners provided the Human,

material, equipment and financial support resources that was needed to

achieve our working objectives and goals.

2 | V i s i o n M i n i s t r i e s

We appreciate our local partners’ contribution through moral, financial and

material support to be able to reach out to the regions for more activities

this year 2015 - 2016.

REFLECTION OF YEAR 2015:

The second phase of VMK and VMC partnership agreement had emphasis on

making the local system to work in order to increase support to the overall

ministry mandate. In return the VMK Board had the mandate to formalize

and execute all policies towards this need.

It was necessary to bring the board to its full development and accomplish

all the policies as regards the operation of the Ministry. These formed an

important part of the years activity that was very important in the overall

organization management.

There was need to make VMK Ministry become organized to be an example

to any other partners locally and abroad.

These policies included Board operation policy as per the Society act of

Kenya, Human Resource Policy, Financial resource policy, and the partner

network policy guides which were finalized in the year 2015.

The actual programme included daily devotion and prayer, partnership

networking including church partner visits, leadership and church planting

activities, Annual conferences, Board meetings, Reporting, Board meetings,

construction were completed. One of the church building in maasai land at

Namanga was dedicated and consecrated by the VMC Team from Canada.

support for them to be more effective. The number of these churches

increased to 48 in 2015. There were areas that have suffered without

gospel like in Maasailand, Kadem and Gwasi where VMK had to put more

efforts. These new areas required more resources.

dominant Central Region suffers much by loosing young generation to

drugs and recklessness life in the cities.

2. Management: Vision Ministries Kenya has management board that is

headed by the secretariat including the board Chairman, Secretary,

Treasurer, Executive director and the financial manager. This team

meets from time to time to deliberate issues of the Ministry and make

important decision of the Ministry. The board was in charge

throughout the year as the executive director implements the Ministry

programmes.

There was need to provide a workable management system with sound

policies and structures in order to provide a common ground in leading the

Ministry.

In the year 2015 the board accomplished the task and approved the

following policies.

(i) Management board operation policy:

This policy provides terms of reference in running the management

board affairs. The guidelines, regulation and procedures regarding

the board operation is clearly spelled to avoid any confusion and

disorganization. The policy is already in place.

(ii) Human Resource Policy:

11 | V i s i o n M i n i s t r i e s

As the Ministry expands the Board found it appropriate to come up

with this policy that would give clear guidelines and procedures on

how to deal with matters of employees.

This policy was already finalized and the board approved it.

(iii) Financial Policy:

All matters of accounting as regards accountability and

transparency, controls and audit are of great importance in an

organization. The VMK Board finalized the documentation and

approved this policy which is already in use. In the policy

document, there are clear guidelines and procedures regarding

authority to incur expenditure, accounting record controls and the

income record procedures that safeguards the use of the Ministry

financial resources.

(iv) Partnership network policy:

Many churches that have registered and are already members of

VMK needed a document that would bring clarity in the

relationship between the partners and the VMK as the mother

ministry. The Board finalized this document and approved it for

further use by the partnership churches.

12 | V i s i o n M i n i s t r i e s

The existence of those policies gave us great confidence in the running of

the Ministry and now we are able to continue with the Ministry as we

measure our performance against the procedures.

The church Building Projects

VMC Canada provided funds for building of Mumbo Chapel and CEFAM

NAMANGA Church as had been scheduled in 2014.

The two churches would cost 31,000 USD each, that would be subsidized by

the local contribution.

The two buildings were commenced in July2014 and by

August 2015, the first church building at Namanga was launched at the same

time Mumbo Chapel church building had been completed and would be

launched in 2016.

As the building continued, there are areas that needed more attention and

more funds were needed. Both church congregations also contributed quite

percentage of the overall building costs.

The church building was far away in the rural areas. There were some extra

materials and water costs charges which become because of the distance.

Other extra expenses were included in the launching activity and

commissioning of the building, project especially in Namanga, there were

extra cash in getting water and stone and sand that were far away from the

building site. These factors had not been considered by the architect who

did the Bill of quantities.

Church Planting:

Pioneering work for planting the new churches involved conducting

evangelization activities including camps and gospel crusades. These

activities were conducted where there was need for the gospel. Those who

got saved were baptized and taught the word of God. VMK Team moved to 14 | V i s i o n M i n i s t r i e s

these areas with equipment and team to carry out person to person

evangelism. Through those meetings many souls got saved. There were

new church plants at Gwasi, Kadem, Mumbo, Sosian, Funyula, and Kodera

were taught and workers were sent to strengthen them. Several revival

meetings took place at those sites.

There was need for building materials, sound equipments, and support for

the workers in these churches.

Training of Ministry Staff:

The Ministry Training programme continued in 2015 from 2014. All the ten

church leaders involved in the programme still continue with their studies.

They are taking exams after every lesson. They will all graduate in

December 2016. Through this training, the workers are equipped for the

Ministry and they have the opportunity to go for further studies at degree

level.

BUILDING OF MEGA CHURCH IN NAIROBI:

Hope Bible Chapel was earmarked to be developed to be centre where all

the activities of VMK Ministry would be based. The church was to be build

alongside other churches at Mumbo and Namanga due to lack of enough

15 | V i s i o n M i n i s t r i e s

funds. The project was postponed until further notice when funds will be

available. The current V.M.K Rental offices are a continued expensive

undertaking and the office is already small. Most meetings involving

partners are to be conducted in the Hotel since there is not yet a place

where those meetings can take place

VMK MINISTRY VEHICLE AND OFFICE EQUIPMENT:

There was need for Ministry vehicle however the cost of the type of vehicle

needed was extremely expensive. Although pastor Ismael got a donation of

vehicle from other friends, the VMK Board decided to maintain it as it is

used for the purposes of VMK activities. This vehicle was not purchased

either by VMK or VMC. There will be still need for vehicle incase Ismael

decides to change his car for another type of car.

VMC provided office equipment Including computer, printer and

photocopies. This was great achievement in 2015.

RECRUITMENT:

The Board added one office staff who will assist the executive Director Mr.

Walter Malela was engaged and immediately given responsibility to be field

coordinator for church relationships.

All the Ministry staff were provided with job description.

ECD VISIT TO CANADA & EUROPE

16 | V i s i o n M i n i s t r i e s

This executive director visited V.M.C Canada. The reports were given to the

board. This visit benefited the Ministry as it improved a lot of things on how

to handle the Ministry issues since then the regional leaders have been

participating in the Ministry. This visit also had increased in the General

fund and new budget was put in place.

FUNDING:

The VMK Budget is purposed to be funded by 90% VMC and 10% local

contribution up to 30.4.2015 which was the end of the financial year. This

was the funding trend.

Distribution of Expenditure

1. Building - 3,987,775 - 52%
