GOA VISION 2018 21 MONTHS EVALUATION AS AT 31st DECEMBER, 2014

GOA Financial year starts from 1st April of every year and ends on 31st March of the next year.
The Strategic plans under review run from 1st April 2013 to 31st March 2018.
GOA has four Vision Areas- Church Growth, Compassion, Peace Building & Conflict
Resolution and Leadership Training & Development. These four Vision areas are manned by
The Governance and Administration Department.
1.0 GOA Church Growth Vision Area
Core Value: Embrace People- Because people matter to God and Christ died for all people; we
treat all people as His children while fulfilling the Great Commission making disciples of all
nations.
The GOA Church Growth Ministries are actively implementing the Great Commission to
increase the number of people who have a saving faith in Jesus Christ and leading them to
Spiritual maturity. 130 churches have been planted in Kenya, Uganda, Burundi and DRC Congo.
The GOA Mission to the unreached communities in Kenya such as the Turkana, Samburu, Boran
and Orma people has given new life and hope to the marginalized communities.
1.1 We envisioned the construction of 50 permanent new church sanctuaries by 2018. The buildings
will be spread throughout all of the GOA administrative regions.
The permanent church-sanctuaries constructed out of the targeted 50 for the five years are
15. Every year, we are supposed to construct 10. Six brick-making machines have been
bought and dispatched to the Regions to enhance construction of permanent buildings.

Newly constructed GOA Lokori Church

Newly constructed GOA Kalkol Church

The six machines were bought and supplied to Budalangi, Mwanyani, Nyeri,
Kano, Kamnyongole and Nunguni Churches.

The regions having the above machines have started by constructing simple structures at
church compounds to enable them do the marketing of the bricks. So, this project of bricks
making has not started generating any funds.
1.2 We envisioned a ministry that is leading unbelievers from areas currently un-reached by the
gospel into a personal relationship with Christ. We aim to have new 4000 believers baptized in
the un-reached areas by 2018.
About 800 people have been reached by the GOA churches in the unreached areas. Some of
them have not been baptized but are going through the new believers classes. The well that
was drilled among the Turkana who are an unreached people group at Nabwelipus in
Lodwar-funded by Midway Church, Carolton Villa Rica, Georgia-USA has attracted many
people from the community to the newly planted Nabwelipus GOA Church.
Impact: Nabwelpus Well
The well at Nabwelipus now serves more than 5000 people with water. Some people walk a
distance of 10 miles to get water from this well. The pastor of Nabwelipus GOA church with the
help of other GOA churches from this region held a 2 days gospel campaigns that saw people
make decision for Christ. They are now members of GOA Nabwelipus church.
The church was planted towards the end of last year, 2013 with only a couple of members but
now the congregation has grown to more than 200 members especially with the drilling of the
well which was a great need in this community. Some members openly remarked that God has
remembered them.

The launch of the completed well by the area Member of Kenyan Parliament Mr. John
Loyedepe Nakala.
Though not envisioned in the 5 year Strategic Plans, the Impact of the water and the Church
has created a need to build a school in the community.
1.2.1 Water Boozer We envisioned the purchase of a lorry with a tank (water
boozer) at a cost of Kshs 8,454,000 ($ 100,675). The Project is part of GOA
Church growth outreach programme to the unreached peoples of Kenya.
The project is meant to provide water to the communities in those areas at
an affordable fee while at the same time sharing the Gospel with them. This
has not been done due to lack of Finances.
1.3 We envisioned a ministry that brings the un-churched into existing fellowships of believers
in established areas.
1.3.1 We aimed to have new 3000 church members attending existing GOA churches by 2018.

3|Page

About 600 people from the reached areas have joined GOA churches. Some have been
baptized while others are undergoing the discipleship classes.
1.3.2 The new members will have received basic discipleship training within one year of joining.
Discipleship classes are taking place within GOA churches. There is no common discipleship
material but different churches are doing it differently.
Impact: Motorbike for Goa Kiu Church
The pastor from Kiu Glory Outreach Assembly Church has been using the motorbike to
travel from his home to the church, a distance of 25 miles to pastor the church that was
planted some three years ago. The motorbike has been of great help because many times he
could walk long distance because of lack of public transport. The church has continued to
grow impacting the community.
Of late the pastor has not been feeling well and is admitted at one of the hospitals in Nairobi.
He is diagnosed with a malignant tumor at the back of the shoulder. He is still in Hospital and
is waiting for the church and the community to mobilize for funds to pay his hospital bill so
that he may be discharged.

Pastor Gregory receiving his motor cycle

We envisioned the planning of Medical camps in line with available partnerships to

enhance outreach missions which are relevant to the communities. This has been done
in conjunction with other Vision Area Directors (Compassion and Peace Building),
such as the Mt Pisgah UMC Medical Camps of July 2013 and July 2014 at CCRC in
Joska, Wendani School in Nairobi and Beat the Drum home in Mai-Mahiu, Naivasha.
More than 1,000 people were preached to and about 50 persons converted.
1.3.4 We envisioned Missionary support for those in unreached areas-serving the unreached
people groups. Our Missionary Peter Wagura in Tana River Delta has been supported
for the last 18 months.
1.3.5 Gospel Crusades have been used to reach out to people in places like Nabwelputh,
where the well was dug and at Njambini Trading Centre during the Family conference.
The impact has seen conversion of new souls and increase in numbers of church
attendances.
1.4 We envisioned a ministry that assists small fellowships of believers to establish new church
bodies in our communities.
1.4.1 We aim to have 300 newly planted churches operating by 2018.
13 new churches have been planted for the last one and half years.
1.3.3

1.4.2

These new churches are being led by trained and competent pastors.

1.5 We envisioned a ministry that assists new church bodies to become mature, fully functioning,
self-propagating, self-supporting and self-governing churches.

4|Page

1.5.1 We aimed to have 300 of our existing churches operating with the requirements for Fully
Mature status.
About 100 GOA churches have attained the requirement for Fully Mature status. They are
led by GOA pastors, have church boards, they are growing numerically etc.
1.5.2 These churches will be actively involved in planting new church bodies.
13 New churches have been planted which illustrates the maturity status of these mother
churches.
1.5.3 GOA International Family Conferences We envisioned five conferences by the year 2018. In
April 2014, the GOA Family gathered at Njambini Boys in Kinangop for the International
conference that saw representation from Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, USA and
Switzerland. The conference had great impacts and contributed positively towards maturation
of participants and their churches.
1.5.4 GOA International Children Conference The GOA Fraternity worldwide gathered at
Karatina Girls in August 2014 to impact our children at the conference. The disposition of
Faith and Talent was so eminent that we felt fulfilled. This is one out of the five conferences
that are planned in GOA Vision 2018.
1.5.5 GOA International Youth Conference We envisioned five International Youth Conferences
by the year 2018. One conference was done in Dec 2013 and another one in December 2014.
1.5.6 We envisioned the Empowerment of Pastors and Church Leaders. GOA Leadership Team has
been travelling within and outside of Kenya to all the Regions and churches where our Leaders
and Pastors have been involved in Vision Casting of the GOA Vision 2018 and compliance
with the Local Churches returns guidelines.
1.6 We envision a Church Growth department that is self-sustainable.
6 GOA administrative regions have been supplied with brick-making machines by GOA
Headquarters in collaboration with GOA partners. The regions having the above machines
have started by constructing simple structures at church compounds to enable them do the
marketing of the bricks. So, this project of making bricks has not started generating any
funds.
1.6.1 Impact: Sports Evangelism
GOA recruited two interns, Paul and Baraza who joined us in April 2014 from Kenyatta
University. During their Internship, they participated in visiting Tumaini, Rhema, CCRC and
Kieni children homes where they introduced new sports and engaged the children in various
Sports activities. At Tumaini, nearly 200 participants came from the Childrens home, the
Primary and the High School sections. At Kieni- the 24 Children and about 15 neighbors
participated in the events while at CCRC, all the children, the neighbors and the nearby
school took part in balloon games, football, volleyball and other assorted games. They used
the world cup season to broadcast the games through the church, launched volleyball,
swimming and roll-ball at the GOA Wendani Church. During the Family Conference and the
Children conferences, they engaged us in Team-building activities and various new and
existing sports activities. At the Family conference in Njambini, more than 300 people
participated in Sports activities such as football, volleyball, dance, team-building and field
events. The team building and Sports activities will continue from time to time during the
other up-coming national events such as the youth Conference in December 2014. They
launched soccer tournament in Marsabit country and will continue to do so in other counties.
It became necessary to absorb them as part of our Staff Team with Paul taking up the
Leadership Assistant post and Baraza taking over the position of a Sports co-ordinator.

Sports Evangelism at CCRC

There are plans to introduce more in-door games in various GOA homes, schools and
churches. The Sports Evangelism events will go a higher notch in securing certain
sustainability projects such as Spectating charges and Training Programmes.
Many new people have joined the churches: at GOA Kahawa Wendani, new membership has
been realized during and after the world cup events that were shown at the church.
Eventually, the reaching out to the un-reached peoples as well as within the established
churches will be greatly achieved through sports Evangelism, as envisioned in Vision 2018.

1.6.3

2.0

We envisioned the purchase of Tents and chairs for hire at a cost of Kshs 605,000.
($ 7,562) This has not been done due to lack of finances.
We envisioned the construction of a Rental House at Isinya at the Church plot at a cost
of Ksh 6,994,209/ ($ 87,428). This is one of the projects aimed at raising funds localy
for the Church growth department to help attain the sustainability goals envisioned in
GOA Vision 2018. This has not been done due to lack of finances.

GOA Compassion Vision Area

Core value: Compassionately serve: Jesus has given us the model of caring for the poor and
suffering, which we strive to follow to the best of our abilities.
GOA Compassion Ministries impacts communities by improving the quality of life of those at
greatest risk especially children, the homeless and those impacted with HIV/AIDS. We care for more
than 400 orphans in 8 GOA homes. One of the 8 homes is purely for the HIV positive children who
are being cared for in small families of 5 kids living in a cottage under a caring mother. In an effort
to reduce the costs of education and bring up Godly Children, GOA has three full primary schools
and one High School. The first three kids that GOA Homes admitted when the first Home was
started are all in Universities preparing to be self-supporting.
2.1 We envisioned a ministry that intentionally commits to the value, dignity and integrity of every
person by focusing on the neediest members of our communities. More than 60 widows are
being cared for and we envision recruitment of more vulnerable cases in the future.
369 children in the 8 homes have been fed, educated and clothed. New children are being
admitted and a new home started at Mwanyani in Tharaka Nithi County. One extra school was
started at Wendani in Nairobi and all the other schools are fully operational with more than

6|Page

1500 pupils and students.

2.1.1 Tumaini Childrens Home: Cultivation of maize on a 4 acres
piece of land is on-going. The cow yields have been improved
and some milk is being sold to Muki Sacco. The bakery has
improved such that cakes and bread are being baked daily at the
complex mainly for students breakfast. The home has been
given a new face-lift by being repaired by the Cumberland Community Church Mission of
April 2014. The leaking roofs have also been repaired and kids rooms have been divided to
accommodate more children in line with Vision 2018 that aims to raise the number of
children in our homes to 750 by the year 2018.However, the obstacle has been the limited
number of sponsored children. Many of the Children have no sponsors.
2.1.2 Strong Tower Childrens home: The Green house has
improved. Drip irrigation is on-going on a acre of Land
where greens have been planted, by the end of the year
an acre will be under drip irrigation. The envisioned
Managers and Boys Toilet has not yet been constructed.
We are still looking for funds to enable us construct the
toilet. 25 of the Children are currently in high School and we are experiencing challenges in
paying for their High School Fees.
2.1.3 Christ Compassion Rehabilitation Centre (CCRC)
The challenge of torn beddings was addressed.
Funds received from GOA Switzerland were able
to buy 24 mattresses, blankets and bedcovers. 26
children have been taken care off this includes 4
new children that were recently rescued and placed in
the home. CCRC has been on temporary buildings, we recently received funds from GOA
Switzerland. Construction is on-going for the dormitory, kitchen and staff houses. When
completed, it will enable admission of 100 new boys in line with Vision 2018 that seeks to
increase the number of children in all our homes to 750 by the year 2018. Local donations
from GOA Wendani have helped put gutter and collect rain water. 30 chicks have also been
donated by the same church. We hope to raise the chicken project to higher height to help
cater for operating expenses.
2.1.4 Kieni West Childrens Home: Four toilets have been constructed in
July 2014. A dining hall and sewer system is under construction as
from August 2014. This will enable admission of more children in

7|Page

realization of Vision 2018. So far, six new children have been admitted
into the home.
Three dairy goats were donated to the home by a volunteer from
Swizerland. We envision a time when the home will be self sufficient with
milk. This will help the home sustain the children health in the most
professional manner.
Salon project is beeing funded by Sheila-GOA US. though we have
had problems with installation of power, however the power has
since been done and we are set to begin the business on 1st October.
This is a project that will help meet the home running expenses in
the long run.
We would not have qualified for registration with the governemnt
without proper sanitary facilities . The construction of a VIP toilet
was funded by GOA Swizerland through volunteer service. We now
pass the test on public health.
In the month of July we celebrated the launching of Kieni dinning
hall ground breaking. The construction is underway. We currently
do not have enough funds to complete the building .
Funds received from GOA Switzerland
enabled us to do major repairs in our dorms that were very bad.

2.1.5

Rehema Girls Rescue Centre: Dairy farming has seen improvement in yield-8 kg of
Milk per day. Cereal Farming of 1 acre of maize is on-going. The Green House that
was envisioned is not yet built due to lack of funds.

2.1.6

Rhema Childrens Home: 1 acre of land has been hired for farming. Neither cow
nor Land has been bought as envisioned due to lack of finances.

2.1.7

Beat the Drum Home: The Zero grazing units have been
improved. Farming of local breed chicken continues with 20
Layers. One dairy goat has been bought and a structure
constructed for the goat. 5Toilets have been built. No new
cottage has been built as envisioned due to lack of funds.
We were able to do one season of tomatoes
before the dry spell. The greatest challenge at the

8|Page

home is water. No better source has been

identified. Our cow calved in the month of June.
The calve is a high breed and we believe we will
realize higher yields of milk at the time of
maturity. In this year a dairy goat was bought which is helping us feed the children
with nutritious milk. We also constructed the sheep pen.
The challenges in this home include lack of enough care givers in form of matrons for
the cottages. We seek funds for the employment of more care givers to make use of
the existing cottages and later, upon availability of funds, to construct more cottages
as envisioned in the Strategic plans.
2.1.8 Maggie School Akatuman (Turkana): The school has about 916 pupils and 8 teachers.
The kitchen, Store, borehole and farming projects have been completed. The school also
benefited from the Constituency Development Fund kitty where 4 classrooms were
constructed in realization of the much needed local funding from the Kenyan communities
and firms. The school is generally doing well and is in need of more teachers in view of its
large pupil population. Two years from now, the students in Class six will be sitting for their
Kenya Certificate of Primary Education Examinations. We will then need funding for their
High School Education.
2.1.9 GOA High School: Construction of four Classrooms- two classrooms has been completed
and ready for use. The other two are on-going. The Laboratory equipments have been bought
in preparation for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Examinations.

2.1.10 GOA Education Centre- Tumaini The Children will continue with their Education. We
have struggled to maintain their operational costs and availability of funds will help us do
better. Neither Administration Block nor Teachers Houses has been constructed due to lack
of funds. The school operations continue with nearly 100 pupils and 13 teachers.
2.1.11 GOA Education Centre- Wendani The School currently has 28 pupils who are manned
by 3 teachers and 2 workers. It has Pre-Primary Section that Covers Daycare, Pre-Unit and
Primary section for classes from Std1 to Std 4. The school envisions enrolment of more than
50 pupils in Jan 2015 and to continue the classes up to at least Standard four. There are plans
underway to start chicken and vegetable projects.
The School Project was started on borrowed money to secure the one year lease of the
premises and begin its operations. The school was started on borrowed funds to lease the
premises, pay goodwill, buy initial stationery and school equipment and to begin its
operations. So far, Kshs 1,108,100 ($ 13,851) has been spent. An additional Ksh 1,045,260 ($
13,065.75) is needed to secure its current operations, buy needed furniture and school
equipment and sustain it. In total, what the school needs to run is Kshs 2,153,360 ($ 26,917).
With about $2,000 per month, the school can secure its operations for the current and
upcoming period ($ 1,000 per month) and also pay back the funds that were borrowed by
installments ($1,000 per month.) for at least one year.

GOA EDUCATION Centre - Wendani

2.2 We envisioned reaching out to more than 500 people to the GOA Savings & Credit Co-operative
(Sacco) and Member Deposits of more than 10 Million shillings to help realize the Micro
Finance and poverty reduction goals. There will be a reduction in poverty levels in our
communities. More than 3000 Children at risk will be cared for in ways that ensure they become
emotionally stable, responsible and productive citizens.
We have attained 205 active members who are building their financial capacities by saving
and borrowing through the Savings & Co-operative (Sacco) system.
2.3 We envisioned our clients practicing improved life skills including; health, nutrition, literacy,
civic responsibility and family life management.
Impact
KCPE Results for children from our homes
All the Children from our Homes who sat for Class 8 Exams (Kenya certificate of Primary
education K.C.P.E) passed and should be admitted to High Schools. So far, one of the above
pupils is a benefiary of the Wings to Fly Scholarship program awarded by Equity Bank of
Kenya due to their exemplary performance.
KCSE Results (2013) of Children from Our homes-who have since been forwarded to our
Leadership department.
All the 24 Children from our homes who sat for Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (K.
C. S. E) in 2013 performed well with two of them obtaining Straight As- Moses Kinyanjui and
Carolyn Njambi.We are expecting to get good Grades in the KCSE of 2014.
2.4 We envisioned our clients of all ages being more spiritually mature having a greater reliance on
God to deal with their circumstances.
Spiritual nurture in form of fellowship, bible studies and Prayers, guidance and counseling as
well as Academic Developments continue to mold the personal lives of most of our children at
the homes as envisioned in the strategic plans.

11 | P a g e

2.4.1 We envisioned a widows programme that positively impacts the lives of its members.
We have more than 60 widows who jointly partake of projects meant to empower them and
alleviate suffering. Recently the group was registered by the Kenya government for economic
empowerment and aims at accessing to available funds from local authorities, the government
and local Non-governmental organizations.
However, the groups concentration has been to buy chicken for each member who, in turn,
contributes eggs as a way of saving. The next level of empowerment will be for the group
members to buy sheep for each other and contribute lambs in a savings plan.
The overall impact has seen positive impact on improved livelihood due to improved earnings.
The churches where these members attend have been receiving vibrant fellowship due to their
contributions and stewardship.
Sustainability
2.1.12

Mt Kenya Glaciers
Mt Kenya Glaciers Project was envisioned @ Kshs 19,390,000 ($ 242,375) and was
targeted to generate about Kshs. 250,000 ($ 3,125) per month. So far, Ksh. 1,195,900
($ 14,949) has been spent to pay partly the cost to acquire the plant, buy bottles, seals
and labels and run the plant by paying rent, workers and office expenses. There is
needed Kshs. 2,234,100 ($ 27,926) to complete the plant purchase from the previous
owner, buy production materials and service the initial operational costs so far
incurred. This was reffered to as Phase I of the water project. The next Phase (Phase
II), is envisioned to take the plant a notch higher by automated production at Ksh
15,960,000 ($ 199,500).

New machine at the plant

Bottling water at the plant

Numerous challenges have been encountered. When the machine broke down, the seller
(previous owner0 compensated us by buying another machine. The high costs of production
have been encountered due to high costs of production materials and transport costs. There is
a recommendation is to consider re-locating the plant to Nairobi help reduce the cost of
production. Competition has also meant that the more established competitors use their
economies of scale to reduce the costs of production and lower the prices to our

12 | P a g e

disadvantage.
Though our first nine months of the business reflects a loss, and a deficit of the net cash
outlay, we are still very optimistic that this is a viable project and sustainable business. Our
optimism is based on the fact that we will implement the recommendations and work out a
recovery plan as we forge ahead. We have already impacted the lives of many by provision
of clean drinking water, employed people, interacted with technical experts and are working
on the recommendations for increased production. An amount of Ksh 2,470,000 ($ 30,875)
would not only help complete the purchase of the plant but also maintain its operations,
increase productivity and maximize returns. Out of this amount, Ksh 845,750 ($ 10,572)
would go towards re-payment of debts as a result of the operational deficits and the balance
of Kshs. 1,624,250 ($ 20,303) will go towards the completion of the purchasing of the
business from the previous owner, purchase of bottles, seals and labels .
3.0 GOA Peace Building and Conflict Resolution
Core Value: Pursue Peace
We will strive to build peace and bring an end to conflict in our communities.
GOA Peace Building and Conflict Resolution impacts communities by resolving conflicts
and peace building in families, tribes and nations. Over 40 families were resettled during the
2007/2008 post election violence. In 2012/2013 the GOA Conflict Resolution department
under the leadership of GOA Kenyan Missionary in Garsen has responded to the Tana River
Delta conflicts by providing emergency and relief services. Peace initiatives are still on-going
in Mathare slum which has in the past been a hot spot.
3.1.1 Family Seminar. We envisioned reaching 10,000 families through holding one family
seminar in our eleven regions, each having about 100 people and other seminars in our 130
churches by 2018.
In the 21 months we have reached out to 571 families through the Family seminars and we
need to reach to other 9,429 more families as we meet the targets envisioned in GOA Vision
2018.
Impact: Many families have reconciled. A testimony from one pastor is that since we held
the seminar in his church, he has not handled a family conflict. The families learnt ways of
solving their issues after learning about communication and other topics.

13 | P a g e

3.1.2 Counseling for Church Members and others

We envisioned reaching 5,000 individuals and groups through counseling by 2018
Impact: In 21 months, we have reached 2,161 through group counseling and individuals in
churches, schools and so on. Through these counseling sessions, we continue to reach out to
the Youth which, in Kenya is over 70% of the entire population.

3:1:3 Conflict Resolutions among Tribes.

We envisioned holding peace seminars in areas prone to conflicts like Marsabit, Tana Delta,
Turkana, Samburu etc.
In the 21 months, many peace seminars have been held in this areas, both psychological
and physical support has been given to victims of conflict e.g. in Mpeketoni, Tana Delta etc.
Many conflicts were resolved during the empowerment visits.

3:1:4 Conflict Resolutions in DRC Congo
We envisioned having peace activities, family seminars, counseling etc in DRC Congo.

14 | P a g e

This has been rolled over to the current and subsequent periods.
3.1.5 Conflict Resolution in Burundi
We envisioned having peace activities, family seminars, counseling etc in Burundi. In 21
Months conflict issues have been resolved; 103 cases have been dealt with which includes,
conflicts between pastors, land issues, organizational issues, killings, tribalism
etc 17 divorce cases were reported to the leader.
3.1.6 Conflict Resolution in Rwanda
We envisioned having peace activities, family seminars, counseling etc in Burundi. This has
been rolled over to the current and subsequent periods.
3:1:7 Cultural diversity celebrations
We envisioned having one cultural celebration per year and many others in individual
churches and during occasions like annual conferences.

a Maasai cultural dance

3.1.8 Guest House Project We envisioned the construction of a Guest House for Sustainability.
Land has been indentified at the Strong Tower Home. After annual evaluation of 31st March
2014, it was directed that the Guest House be split in four Phases starting the current year
2014/2015. Phase one of the project requires Kshs.. 20,000,000 ($ 250,000) and entails 20 self
contained rooms, One Office suite block with 20 offices, Shop, store and kitchen area. In
addition to the rooms was the Lounge area, conference rooms and Office Furnishings. Phase
two; Three and four were to cost Kshs. 100,000,000 ($ 1,250,000) in an average cost of Ksh
33,333,000 ($ 416,662) per Phase.
The Director of Peace Building is planning to meet with the Architects for drawings and bills of
quantities. Apart from the available land, we have no funds to continue. We appeal for Funding
to enable us kick off the project.
3.1.9 Ripen Programme
We envisioned having ripen programmes once a year in Vision 2018.
Plans are underway to have one in November 2014.
4.0 GOA Leadership Development Vision Area
Core Value: Embody Godly Leadership
Our ministry will function with excellence in spiritual leadership.

GOA Leadership Development has been impacting communities through International

15 | P a g e

Leadership Institute training program. More than 18,000 Leaders have been trained. The
successful trainings of these Leaders have made us receive a Global Award in March 2011 to
date in Leadership Training where the ILI East Africa emerged the top around the world.
History Makers, a program for emerging leaders has trained many Young and Emerging
Leaders while GOA Global University (GGU) has trained many Pastors. GGU is currently
Training about 30 Pastors and Leaders through the Certificate and Diploma Programmes.
The GOA University students Alumni Association (GUSAA) has more than 50 active
Members who participate in mentoring and coaching processes of their members.
Experienced leaders are impacting the future generations of Leadership by mentoring and
coaching emerging leaders. 72% of the Kenyan population is below 30 years. GOA
Leadership department has helped to fill a potential future leadership vacuum.
4.1 We envisioned a ministry where 33,600 leaders at every level in the organization are well
grounded in the widely accepted 8 core values of a Biblical leader.
The vision for 2018 is to teach ILI/ HM to 30,000 leaders. Last year we trained 7,150
leaders in East Africa and the smart goal for this year was 8000 leaders. So far we are
at 5.501 so a total of 12,651 many more trainings have been planned all over East
Africa.

regional conferences in many parts of East Africa. We anticipate more regional
conferences in the remaining part of the year. The History Makers has continued to
gain momentum within East African countries. In Kenya we have launched a history
makers society movement with a vision to equip young leaders to change history
through the power of the gospel. We have plans to launch the movement in all 47
counties of Kenya. So far we have launched it in six counties; Nyeri, Meru, and
Marsabit. In the three counties, we have very able leaders of the movement who are
very passionate and will move the History Makers vision throughout the county with
the support of our national office champion and director.
It was exciting to hear how great the impact of the eight core values is both to the
people and also to the delegates they have trained. The result has been more
multiplication.
As a clergy from Anglican Church of Kenya Kajiado diocese attending the ILI National
conference. It was a spiritual clinic with a through spiritual diagnosis that healed and
empowered me to go with confidence and accomplish the great commission. Rev. Protas
Simiyu Barasa.
I thank God for the well planned and inspiring ILI conference.it has really
revolutionized my Christian role as a servant of God. The teachings will help me to
bring more people to Jesus. Rev. George Wakere from PCEA Nakuru.
Sustainability
Most of the regional trainings have been locally funded by the ILI/ HM alumni and the
National offices. We still hope we can be able to sponsor a National. We have also been
able to print the ILI books with local funds. Faith promises have been encouraged for
during local trainings by asking the alumni to make Faith pledges and honor them
through mobile money transfers, M-Pesas.
4.2 We envisioned a ministry where leaders are highly skilled and effective in sharing the
gospel and providing counseling for conflict resolution, marriage and family life and
civic responsibility.
The vision for 2018 to launch three mentoring programs for Men, women and for the
university students at the national level then go down to all the GOA regions. These
programs require time to meet and connect mentors and mentorees and continue with
the process at the regional level.
GUSAA (GOA university students and alumni associations mentors both the university
students as well as the others in high schools and in the homes.
Men and women mentoring programs meet at both individual and group levels for
mentoring. University mentoring program has been launched and is on and running.
This has helped us to provide them with the support they need and to not only fund
their education. Some of our post-secondary students had no idea what the way

17 | P a g e

forward would be for them after high school but so far, majority have already identified
and joined different institutions of high learning. These mentoring forums have also
helped build long term relationships with them.

4.3 We envisioned a ministry where 140 young adults from the various homes or low income
church families are placed into post-secondary institutions.
As at now, Dec2014, two have finished and graduated, these are; Ben Mwendwa and
Monica Wairimu. 10 are yet to join colleges of their choice. 3 of the students will
complete their studies this year and will wait to graduate next year; Josphat,
Ephantus and Cecilia. All existing students will continue their training through the
January semester in 2015 and the others who are waiting to join will join before the
end of this year. The training progressed well with noticeable impact among the
students and ministry. The students performance has improved. Only those of the
students are sponsored. We are raising funds of all the other 16 and also for those
who have not joined yet.
We will continue striving to raise funds for those who are in training but so far we have
not secured enough funding.
Impact Report: Testimonies from Post Secondary Students
From Monica; it has been a long journey since 2003 when I joined Tumaini. This
day was not clear because it seemed so far but today I lack words to express my gratitude
to God for being so good to me. I have made a lot of mistakes on the way, had a lot of
good times, other times I felt like I want to give up but his mercy and love have brought
me to this day of graduation. My gratitude also go to GOA family for allowing God to
use them. To the sponsors that gave their finances from Switzerland and USA and from
other parts of the world, may the lord bless you. Being in school impacted my life in a lot
of ways especially the need to trust in God. The other impact is the ability to make
decision on my own as a measure of maturity. Electronic media a course that calls for a
lot of repetition and doing things more than one time has taught me patience. May
God bless everyone who contributed to my success. Thank you and May God bless you.
Sustainability
All students have been able to contribute though in a small way to their education.
Some have even worked part time and put their income in their education. We have
also applied for the government loans waiting to be approved. We are also making
monthly contributions aiming at starting an income generating project which will
help us pay fees for some of the students.

4.4 We envisioned a ministry where 30 GOA leaders are skilled in the areas of their work
placement.
4.4.1 GGU (GOA Global University) continues to impact 35 leaders in
Tharaka. The plans were to have a class in Tharaka of about 40 certificate
and diploma students and to build two classrooms and a kitchen.
Impact Report: Testimonies from the students
My name is John Nyaga. I am a student at GGU here in Tharaka. I am so glad for the
opportunity to study in my own community which would otherwise be impossible if it
was further away. I have always desired to be equipped for ministry and I gratefully
take the opportunity that has been brought to us here. It is very expensive in Kenya to
pay tuition in a theological college and beyond my ability to pay but praise God for
CGT and GOA. I also thank the facilitators who tirelessly come to teach us every
month. Their effort is evidence that God has called them to help us. I will commit to
do my best in applying the teachings I gain from this school to my ministry. Long live
the partnership between CGT and GOA.
I am thankful for the CGT church for supporting this school. The teachings are very
helpful to me as a pastor and they have opened my mind. After learning the course of
evangelism, I formed an interdenominational evangelistic team where we are going to
different places to evangelize. As a result, we have lend many people to Christ and
lend them to churches where they are disciple. Thank you to GGU for teaching me
how to be involved in the great commission. I feel more useful in building the
kingdom of God. Pastor Peter Murauko.
The training I have received at GGU has really helped me to become a biblical leader.
I have also learnt how to prepare and preach bible messages and I have realized the
many mistakes I have been making in the past. God bless CGT for having a burden to
equip leaders in Africa for them to effectively serve. I am a beneficially of your
generosity and I promise you that you have not only touched and Changed my life but
also the lives of the many others under my leadership. From this school, I will be a
better disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you again for your support. Peter
Mwithi Japheth
Sustainability
A few students have started contributing the little commitment fee. We still follow-up
with others so that we may at least get the funds to print the books. We are also
looking for land and funds to put up the school and some dormitories to avoid renting
sleeping rooms every month.
4.4.2 Technical School- The Project has not kicked off due to lack of funds.
4.4.3 Printing Press The Project was transferred from Governance & Admin
Department and will soon be initiated in a small way as we look for funds.
4.5 We envisioned a ministry where cell leaders are equipped for effective cell leadership.
60 cell leaders trained in GOA and beyond. Almost all the GOA churches are
practicing Cell. GOA collaborates with cell UK to do the training. The heart of the

19 | P a g e

cell training is loving God, loving others and loving the lost. Cell training has
worked in GOA and other churches all over Kenya. The trained people are now in a
position to use the cell training manuals and to offer the training. This training
covers basic skills for cell facilitation within a small group resulting to developing
leaders and deepening discipleship.
The vision 2018 to provide cell training in GOA regions that has not been trained:
Meru, Lodwar, Samburu and regions beyond, and also to connect every member of
GOA to a cell group.
This training requires 3 levels of 1day training in a space of 6 weeks between the
trainings to allow practice and follow up.
Impact
Three churches have been started within GOA through cell; in Kinangop and KEM
regions. Cell leaders have developed the skills required by GOA and beyond to fulfill
their vision and carry out various ministries with excellence and effectiveness. They
also multiply themselves which has resulted to more disciples for Christ. Each
training will be one day for three times in a space of six weeks.
Sustainability
Cell trainings are sponsored by local churches.
5.0 Governance & Administration
Core Value: Godly Stewardship-Our ministry will function with excellence in providing oversight,
governance and management practices which are rooted in spiritual principles.
5.0 We envisioned a Ministry that is governed by a group of Godly, committed, well-trained,
competent men and women.
5.1 The Board of Governors accepts full responsibility for oversight of all the activities in the
ministry. Six active board members have continued to serve in the Ministry. The board
continues to meet once in every three months and when necessary.
5.1.1 The Board has continually cast and refreshed the vision of the ministry.
5.1.2 The Board has effectively monitored the Executive Director by considering
the degree to which the vision of the ministry is achieved and if the results
were obtained within the ethical standards set by the Board.
5.1.3 The Board has ensured that they are well informed of the environment
within which the ministry operates and of the vision held by the membership
and clientele of the ministry.
5.1.4 The Board has assisted in the mobilization of financial and human
resources needed for the continuance of the ministry.
Since February 2014, the executive Director has been operating on a
borrowed car. The board has resolved to buy him a car by asking at least
540 people who can contribute Ksh. 5,000 (about $ 100) each. The Board
has struggled with the issue of raising salaries for the GOA Head office
Staff to date. GOA Switzerland has continued to offer help at those
difficult times. The board has initiated a sustainability project that will
help contribute funds towards this.

Mwea Horticultural Project:

The Horticultural project has been funded fully at Kshs. 680,000(USD
8,500).The amount was donated by Mt Pisgah UMC. The funds are fully spent
in anticipation for the harvest which will enable us to sell the farm produce
and realize cash returns. The project kicked off on 27th May 2014. So far, the
tomatoes are budding as they are being propped for better yields, the green
peppers are flowering and the water melons are developing. The maize will be
grown after the water melons have been harvested. It is expected that the farm
produce will be sold upon harvest and the returns realized be utilized to
further more farming in three cycles per year and surpluses be tapped for the
GOA Admin sustainability purposes as envisioned in the GOA Vision 2018.

Tomatoes at the Farm Water Melons at the farm

5.2 We envisioned a Ministry that has adequate administrative capability to support the
activities in the field and operates under effective and efficient management principles.
Farming at Githabai was envisioned in Administration Department at a cost of Ksh
3,350,000 ($ 41,875).Due to lack of funding and the fact that we have a readily
available land; it became necessary to start small by digging a dam at the farm to be
able to collect water for the bulls and cows at the farm to use for drinking. Two bulls
were transported to the farm from Mai-Mahiu and so far they are doing well. An
amount of Ksh 110,000 has been used, being part of 10% Administration retention
fund, to start up the project. Crops have been planted in part of the farm. When
the rains come, the dam will be filled with water and the crops will bud. We will
then wait about three months to realize crop yields as we carry out weeding
and other procedures. The amount needed to catch up with the farming that is ongoing is Ksh. 210,000. This will help buy two more bulls and perform weeding
and crop nurture activities. However, the amount needed to complete this project is
Ksh, 3,240,000 ($ 40,500) to realize its 5 year Strategic plan.
5.1.2 Ministry Bus
We envisioned the purchase of a ministry bus that will enhance transportation and
generate Income by way of hire to other clients. This has not been done due to lack
of funds.
5.2.1 We envisioned a ministry whose financial systems are accomplished with
integrity, accountability and transparency.
5.2.1.1 We envision an adequate input from our International Development

21 | P a g e

partners.
Our International Development Partners have continued to offer the
much needed support and we encourage them to continue doing so.
5.2.1.2 We envisioned a ministry that has Local Church financial contribution
to the Administrative activities.
GOA Churches continue to submit 10% tithes to Head Office. Our
Empowerment Missions have enhanced the process.
5.2.1.3 We envisioned a ministry that provides excellent financial oversight
and accountability to all of our GOA departments.
The 5 year plans have been communicated to all the GOA members
and partners. A team from GOA Head Office has been going round
to ensure communication from the Office is effectively done.
Disbursements of funds are done as received with adherence to
accountability of disbursed funds through project phases. Upon
successful completion and accountability of a project phase, more
funds are released for the same.
Accountability measures are carried out through constant
monitoring and evaluation as well as audits and verifications of the
financial records in our institutions.
External Audits has is starting soon for the years of income
2012/2013 and 2013/214.
5.2.2 We envisioned a ministry that effectively communicates its mission and vision
through production and distribution of quality promotional materials both
locally and internationally.
GOA Media Communications has strategized the way forward on
Communicating the GOA Ministry locally and abroad. During our
empowerment missions, much has been done to communicate the
GOA Vision 2018 and network the ministries.
The GOA Communications Strategy Team meets regularly to design
and source for the relevant promotional materials. The Team
consists of Mr. Lee Karuri, Mr. Kithinji Nyaga, Mr. Mbugua Gecaga
and Bishop David Thagana and other skilled volunteers.
The Mandate of the Committee includes the designing of the new
GOA Website and communicating the GOA Vision especially in
Kenya (locally) in line with Vision 2018 on the local funding.
5.2.3 We envisioned a ministry that promotes effective internal communication
through the use of leading edge Information and Communication Technology.
GOA communicates by holding meetings at different levels of
accountability. The Head Office staff meets every Tuesday for
fellowship, reports and prayers and to communicate openly on
current organizational steps.

22 | P a g e

A server has been installed for the facilitation of networking and

data storges/exchanges. Internet Rentals have sourced cash that
helps to sustain Internet costs. We require more Equipment to
increase the capacity of offering Internet Rentals.
5.2.4 We envisioned a ministry that functions with excellence in Human Resource
Policy.
5.2.4.1 We will ensure that the organizational structure serves to ensure
accountability at all levels of operation.
The GOA Organizational charts provide clear lines of accountability
and levels of operation and general oversight is provided by the
Vision Area Directors
5.2.4.2 We will ensure that all levels of management are evaluated on an
ongoing basis to ensure the desired ministry ends are achieved.
Constant Evaluations are being carried on and this Report is part of
the evaluation process.
5.2.4.3 We envisioned a ministry that utilizes volunteers to build staff
capability while enhancing an awareness of GOA Ministry
internationally and promoting missions among youth.
Out of the envisioned 150 Volunteers in 5 years, we have had 40.
One from Burundi , Three from Kenya and 35 of them are from
GOA Switzerland and one is from the USA, being a missionary at
SIM who works with us in Media Department once a week .
Impact:
GOA has envisioned the effective deployment of Volunteers and Interns as a
sustainable way of securing the much needed Human Resource Capital. They
discovered their gifts and talents during their time with us and many of
them would wish to come back and work with us.

5.2.4.4 We envisioned a ministry whose staff are qualified, motivated and

capable of fulfilling the vision of their respective departments.
The Board is a Team of qualified Professional who provide
independent opinions on our operations based on acceptable
international standards.
Training Programmes for Board of Governors and Vision
area Directors are planned and will constantly be effected to
promote like-mindedness and pursue the common courses of
GOA Vision 2018 Strategic Plans and beyond.

23 | P a g e

The Executive Director and his Assistant are holders of Masters

Degrees. The Vision Area directors and the HR Manager are
holders of Bachelor degrees who are pursuing or to pursue Masters
Degrees. The Accountant is a CPA (K) and his assistant as well. All
the other staff are pursuing relevant courses and some are holders of
Degree courses, Diplomas and Certificates.
Professionalism is emphasized in the GOA Staff Team.
We have had challenges and subsequent breakthroughs - The
accountant, who had been sick since April 2014 has recoverd and
resumed work and a new Accounts assistant has been employed to
replace the one who left. The Director of Compassion, who was in
India attending to his wife, has now returned to Kenya and will report
early Next month.
We have strategized on countering such challenges by rolling on a
Medical Scheme. Our pensions scheme is in also been effected.
These measures are meant to bring further motivation to our staff as
they fulfill their duties.
5.2.4.5 We envisioned a ministry that promotes public relations and
customer Care to our staff and clients locally and internationally by
provision of excellent hospitality.
We continue to welcome guests and occasionally give them
opportunities to share with us in our Tuesday Fellowships.
Hospitality takes place by way of Office Tea, water and refreshments
and will go a notch higher in meals preparation and catering
Services as a sustainability project.
5.2.5 We envisioned a ministry that avoids donor dependency and operates with
financial sustainability.
Sustainability Programmes have been strategized to help generate more
funding. For example funds are being raised locally for the re-location
Project which is aimed at transferring the GOA Head Offices from its
current rented place to the new plot at Wendani. The funds raised have been
used to put up temporal structures for the worship, Sunday school,
caretakers house, floor and some equipment.
Since the year 2002 when GOA moved from Ndunyu-Njeru to Nairobi, it
has been operating on rented premises. Currently, the Head Quarter church
is in a tent pitched at the new plot that was purchased in preparation for
construction.
