A Brief On Pastor David Oloo

By Janet Moore


God anoints a special person to complete his mission and deliver his message to every generation. This is what God has done with Pastor David Oloo. He has called him for the people of Homa Bay in Kenya. He draws strength from the message of the second greatest commandment which instructs Christians to love their neighbors as they love themselves.

David obeyed the call from the Lord and by working hard, he established an orphanage gradually between 2005 and 2008. The aim of the orphanage was to take in children whose parents had succumbed to HIV/AIDS. He took guidance from his father, Bishop Nashon when he began working with a group of fifteen orphans. Over time, a growing number of orphans in the area has made it inevitable to expand the home.

The ministry has strained over time since the needs of children under his care have been growing. Older children within the home require more than shelter, clothing and food. The community requires the home to admit more children. His last resort at the moment is to appeal to well wishers to support his work so that no child seeking his assistance will be turned away empty handed or those already under his care go hungry.

A lot of support is needed to provide basic needs for a family of 25 that is growing fast. Many people have committed their resources and continue support the projects at home. The burden of caring for orphans weighs down on the families that take them in, considering that some of these families are already poverty stricken. Taking in more family members only serves to burden them further.

Pastor Oloo has faithfully dedicated his youth to the ministry and especially the orphans. His strength and resources cannot meet the needs of these children yet his heart bears the greatest responsibility. Christ Faith Evangelical Church has taught him the need for service and is now in the process of transforming to serve the people better.

In an attempt to serve God and the congregation better, Christ Faith Evangelical Church has taken a new route and is being referred to as Good Shepherd House of Worship. The servants of God seek to provide a place where worshipers can encounter Christ more closely. The change in name has been inspired by the command given to Saul to become Paul.

Homa Bay is in the western part of Kenya, a country that is endowed with ethnic and religious diversity. The people of the country are incredibly hopeful and kindhearted. Their beauty is enhanced by that of their landscape. However, it is impossible for them to experience this beauty and fully express their kindness under the burden of poverty and sickness. Pastor Oloo seeks to transform this gloom into cheers with the assistance of well wishers.

Donor funds received by the ministry in the past have been administered in a very transparent manner. The projects initiated by this servant of God have been beneficial to numerous children. Donors who found time to visit the place were very impressed by his progress. It is only through well wishers that children in Homa-Bay have come to see the God in their daily life.
