FOLLOW-UP REPORT YEAR 2013 A. Preamble At the beginning of this calendar year the baton of CFCM follow up work was passed on with a five point recommendation by the year 2012 follow-up coordinator. Allow me to list them down, while I underline the key points.
a) We need to develop a standard guide of topics or manuals on what we share with the new believers whenever we get opportunity to share with them in a very brief way. b) Each ministry member should be assigned a school to follow up in order to develop mature Christians. c) Patrons and teacher (born again) play a very crucial role in the walk of Christ among the young people. Its therefore important to equip them to take up this role of follow up in their respective schools by introducing new believers ministry in their schools. d) Equipping patrons and teachers on Christian ethics and discipline so that they can equip the new believers. e) Developing and strengthening Bible study groups among believers so that the mature Christian can impact on the new believers.

In an effort to try and direct the energy of 2013 follow-up office(FUO), in line with the above recommendations, as well as with the ministrys strategic plan (re-launched afresh in May 2013), the office kicked off by drawing its agenda to prioritize the work. B. Follow-up Strategic Activities in 2013 Strategic activities were broadly classified in three core areas of ministry where follow up work is expected. Table 1 shows these activities and their status.

From the Table 1, column II shows the status as at the close of the year 2013, while column III gives a brief comment on each of the strategic activities. C. Follow up Budget for the Year 2013 Follow up office and editorial committee presented a combined budget of Ksh70, 4000 for the year 2013. This was as a result of the central committee decision that nominated the follow up coordinator as the chairperson of the editorial committee. The treasure agreed to this and funded the same on demand basis. Table 2 shows the years budgetary position.

A major expenditure item in the budget included the production of The Disciple booklet (Item 8) which is at the printers. It is expected that the treasure will provide the remaining amount so as to cater for the pending expanses. D. Editorial Committee Achievement As already hinted, editorial committee complemented greatly the office of follow up. This rhymed well with its goal as it had focus on the preparedness for the follow up work in schools. We are indebted to the members who included Daniel Kamau (Secretary), Elijah Waini (Coordinator), Blessings Ndanu (Member), Elizabeth Ndungu(member), Samwel Mbugua (member), Monica Muna (member) and Evans Njoroge (member). E. Year 2012 Annual Mission Follow up in Soy This event did not take place due to some misfortune that befell the hosting church, as well as adjustments that came with the misfortune. However, the proposed plan had been well discussed and communicated. Key highlights of the plan include. Have a weekend follow up visit by a team of 7-14 CFCM brethren (dates to be agreed), with agenda (a) hold a pastors fellowship (Prayer Breakfast), (b) minister in a new believers rally, (c) minister in Sunday services, (d) donate Bibles & other simple Christian literature. The tentative budget was held at Ksh24, 000.00, which could be revisited again. Office is very grateful to Bro Vincent Wandera and the family for steering this exercise this far.
F. Conclusion To sum it up, FUO energies were majorly consumed by the discipleship booklet publication. We have left many incomplete tasks, but are grateful that we have a good reference point for the incoming team. To all thank you for your support, God mightily bless you.
