I salute you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It’s always of utmost importance to remind ourselves of who we are and how we ought to be. Apostle Paul in Galatians 3:28 emphasizes that We are all One in Christ. There is no Jew or Greek, no male or female. We are all members of one body and every member is important for every function. Our unity as members of the body of Christ is very important when it comes to Kingdom business.
One of the great scholars by the name Henry Ford said, “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress and working together is success and that is what we need in our local churches, regions, national level and in all our ministries.
Our esteemed partners, we need to be closer now more than we were 70 years ago in our partnership in the gospel. Let us not forget Psalms 133, “Its more pleasant when we brothers live together in unity, God commands a blessing. We need each other to reach the unreached people of Kenya and beyond. Last year, the church expanded irrespective of different challenges such as political, economic and natural calamities like floods, drought in some areas of our country. God was Faithful.
Apostle Paul in Galatians 3:28 emphasizes that We are all One in Christ.
Our first National prayers and fasting was first introduced on the national level. The first phase began from 7th -8th January 2024 and a prayer retreat for the national board on 7th & 8th of February 2024. The main purpose for calling for a prayer and fasting was to take the church on higher level not only in terms of ministry but also drawing closer to our Maker. Most of our churches participated in this event.
We had a very successful partnership meeting attended by our partners from Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Both church and development wings were represented from all the partner countries.
After the partnership meeting, our partners too attended the prayer and fasting conference before the AGM. During the prayer conference meeting led by the former Ukiamka and FPCT Chairman, Bishop David Batenzi, the delegates were challenged to focus on prayer. Bishop Batenzi encouraged the FPFK fraternity to pray; for without prayers, Christianity becomes dry and just a mere religion, and many spiritual things will die.

FPFK is growing in terms of membership that reflects also the growth of our churches and regions. Chyulu Emali Region – curved from Emali and Narok Central region – curved from Narok North, making our regions to be 36 in total.
The National Board purposed last year not to have National conferences except for the Sunday School Teachers conference, which was held at Thessalia Mission Centre. The main purpose of not having national conferences, was to allow regions to fellowship in terms of regional conferences which was a success.
Most gatherings conducted were for; women, youths, teenag- ers and Sunday School. Very few regions managed to have men conferences, which is a sign that most of our local churches are yet to embrace men’s ministry.
Since the adoption of 2018 constitution, there has never been any serious rollout of the constitution due to lack of funding. Last year through Inuka Dada project, the National Board managed to visit all the 36 regions to sensitize different church leaders on the insight of our constitution.
Some of the leaders were seeing the copy of our constitution for the first time. Many needed to have personal copies, but as a result of inadequate funds to facilitate printing cost, we were not able to give them copies.
FPFK remained committed to the network partners, several dialogues and consultations were done with our esteemed partners namely; Norway and Sweden. Our brothers and sisters from Denmark have also come on board to boost our partner- ship agenda. Through the development wing; NPM, PMU, IAS & LM have played an important role in making our ministry holistic. Through them, different communities in Kenya have been reached and their different needs addressed.
Free Pentecostal Fellowship in Kenya is partnering with other networks locally and regionally. FPFK is a strong member of UKIAMKA network on the regional level. Our delegates attend- ed UKIAMKA General meeting and CLAC conference from 1st – 5th of December, 2024 in Kampala, Uganda.
FPFK Church remains a strong member of Evangelical Alliance of Kenya (EAK), where FPFK is represented in the Women League by our able women ministry chairlady, Pastor Emily Mayiani as its chairperson. Our membership with National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) has remained consistent where, our Kisumu region Bishop, Clement Oguta is the chair of NCCK Western Block.
