📖 𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄: 𝐋𝐮𝐤𝐞 10:17-24

This scripture shows the 72 disciples returning from mission full of excitement. They tell Jesus, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name!” Jesus celebrates with them but then redirects their joy. He says, “Do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Right after, Jesus is “full of joy through the Holy Spirit” and thanks the Father for revealing truth to “little children.” He reminds them that what they’re seeing — God with us in Christ — is what kings and prophets longed for but never saw.

✨ 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒:

1️⃣ SUCCESS ISN’T YOUR IDENTITY
The disciples rejoiced in results and power over demons. Jesus said the greater joy is salvation itself. Your value isn’t in what you do for God, but in who you are to Him — a child with your name written in heaven.

2️⃣ JESUS BRINGS HEAVEN’S JOY TO EARTH
Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit. Because of Him, we’re not just serving God, we’re sharing in His joy. Prayer, worship and obedience become delight, not duty.

3️⃣ YOU HAVE A REVELATION THEY LONGED FOR
Jesus told them, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.” You have access to Christ today. Prophets waited for this. Walk in gratitude that the King of the universe knows you personally.

🙏 𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑:
Lord Jesus, thank You that my name is written in heaven because of You. Forgive me when I find my joy in performance instead of Your presence. Teach me to rejoice first in my salvation. Open my eyes to see You more clearly today and fill me with the joy of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

🔹 𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍:
May the Lord Jesus fill your heart with lasting joy today.
May you walk knowing your name is secure in heaven, loved and chosen by the Father. Amen.

📖 𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄: 𝐋𝐮𝐤𝐞 10:1–6

In this passage, Jesus appoints seventy-two disciples and sends them ahead of Him into towns and places He intended to visit. He tells them that the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few, calling them to pray for more workers for God’s harvest field. Jesus sends them in dependence upon God, reminding them that they are like lambs among wolves, yet carrying His peace and message to the world.

This mission was not only for the early disciples but also for every believer today. Christ calls us to go into the world with humility, faith, and urgency, proclaiming the Kingdom of God. Wherever the Gospel is received, the peace of Christ rests there.

📖 𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄: 𝐋𝐮𝐤𝐞 9:51–62

As Jesus set His face toward Jerusalem, He began His journey toward the cross with determination and obedience to the Father’s will. Along the way, several people expressed a desire to follow Him, but Jesus revealed that true discipleship requires complete commitment. Following Christ is not based on convenience, comfort, or divided attention.

Jesus teaches that the Kingdom of God demands priority above all else. One person wanted to delay following Jesus for family matters, while another wanted to look back before committing. Yet Jesus declared that no one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the Kingdom. Discipleship calls us to move forward in faith without hesitation.

✨ 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒:

1️⃣ 𝐅𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓

🙏 𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑:
Lord Jesus, give us the grace to follow You with undivided hearts. Remove every distraction, fear, and hesitation that keeps us from fully obeying Your call. Help us to remain faithful, focused, and committed to Your Kingdom no matter the cost. Strengthen us daily to walk in obedience and love for You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

🔹 𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍:
May the Lord strengthen your heart to follow Him faithfully without turning back.
May His Spirit guide you daily in commitment, obedience, and Kingdom purpose. Amen.

Led by 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗩 𝗘𝗥𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗢, Bishop of ACK Diocese of Kericho, together with 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗩 𝗖𝗣𝗔 𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗥𝗗 𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗢 𝗢𝗪𝗨𝗢𝗥, Bishop of ACK Diocese of Maseno East, and the clergy of Maseno East, Day Two of the Benchmarking and Partnership Visit began gracefully after a sumptuous breakfast filled with fellowship and thanksgiving.

The delegation proceeded to 𝗕𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗜 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗛 — 𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗞𝗔𝗣𝗞𝗔𝗞𝗘𝗧, a parish that has remarkably exemplified the impact of the 𝗖𝗛𝗨𝗥𝗖𝗛 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗠𝗢𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦 (𝗖𝗖𝗠𝗣).

Through the transformational journey of the:

- Foundational Bible Study
- Church and Community Relationship Bible Study
- Resource Mobilisation Bible Study

the mindset of the congregation was completely changed. The church moved from a small round wooden structure that was on the verge of collapsing to a magnificent modern sanctuary standing as a testimony of vision, stewardship and faith.

The parish also constructed 11 business rental units surrounding the church compound, which now generate sustainable income for the ministry, making the church largely self-sustaining. In addition, the congregation built a beautiful and dignified vicarage, transitioning the priest from poor living conditions into a conducive pastoral home.

The church further established a conference centre within the church compound, attracting the surrounding community for meetings and events while simultaneously generating income for ministry and development.

The team later proceeded on a journey to 𝗞𝗜𝗟𝗚𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗦, hosted by 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗩𝗘𝗡. 𝗗𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗖 𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗧𝗢, Vicar General of ACK Diocese of Kericho, Archdeacon of Transmara and the CCMP Coordinator of the Diocese.

The first stop was 𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗙𝗔𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗦𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗟𝗦 𝗞𝗜𝗟𝗚𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗦, one of the five schools owned by ACK Kilgoris Church of Faith Parish. What began in 2020 with only 80 students has now expanded tremendously to over 497 students, offering both Comprehensive and Junior School education, including boarding facilities.

The school, fully managed by the Church, emerged as the Best School in Narok County and the 15th Best School Nationally — a powerful testimony of excellence, vision and the transforming power of the Church when it fully maximises its God-given potential.

The delegation was deeply amazed to witness one parish successfully owning and managing five schools. Indeed, it was a living example of visionary leadership and Kingdom stewardship.

The team then proceeded to 𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗞𝗜𝗟𝗚𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗦 𝗖𝗛𝗨𝗥𝗖𝗛 𝗢𝗙 𝗙𝗔𝗜𝗧𝗛, a dynamic and complex ministry centre with a school that serves as the pioneer among the five schools, currently hosting over 600 students.

The Mothers’ Union, through the Women Ministry, also runs a thriving bookshop and school uniform centre, serving both the church and the school community while empowering ministry economically.

The church equally operates a successful Guest House and Conference Centre, demonstrating how hospitality ministry can support the mission and sustainability of the Church.

As the delegation toured the various projects around the church and Diocese, hearts were filled with amazement at what God has done through the faithful implementation of the Church and Community Mobilisation Process across ACK Diocese of Kericho.

The day concluded with colourful celebrations where clergy and guests were gifted beautiful Maasai Shukas, symbolising love, unity and partnership. A joyful luncheon followed, crowned with the famous Nyama Choma fellowship, creating moments of laughter, bonding and thanksgiving.

The delegation later embarked on the journey back to Maseno East with transformed minds, renewed vision and inspired hearts — ready to maximise the vast potential within the Diocese through the principles and transformative power of CCMP.

Indeed, the visit was more than benchmarking; it was a divine awakening.

Joshua 3 records Israel’s crossing of the Jordan River into the Promised Land. The river was overflowing, yet God commanded the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant to step into the water first. As soon as their feet touched the river, the waters parted and the people crossed on dry ground.

This passage teaches us that God often calls us to move by faith before we see the miracle. The presence of God went before Israel, making a way where there seemed to be none. What looked impossible became possible through obedience and trust in God’s power.

The journey began at 𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗦𝗧. 𝗣𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗥’𝗦 𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗗𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗔𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗢, where the team was gracefully marshalled before proceeding to Kericho. Upon arrival, the delegation received a warm and memorable welcome from 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗩 𝗘𝗥𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗢, Bishop of ACK Diocese of Kericho, alongside clergy and Christians who received the visitors with joy, ululations and celebrations of Christian fellowship.

Following a sumptuous breakfast, the two Dioceses gathered for introductions and a presentation on the transformational success story of ACK Diocese of Kericho. Bishop Ernest Ngeno, who faithfully walked with the Diocese of Maseno East for seventeen months as the Archbishop’s Commissary during the diocesan transition, shared profound insights on ministry, leadership and sustainable church growth.

The Diocese of Kericho shared how the 𝗖𝗛𝗨𝗥𝗖𝗛 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗠𝗢𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦 (𝗖𝗖𝗠𝗣) transformed their mindset and reshaped their understanding of ministry — moving from dependency to stewardship, empowerment and sustainable mission.

Kericho Diocese showcased remarkable success stories in hospitality and development through projects such as:

- 𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗚𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘 & 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗘 𝗞𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗛𝗢
- 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗔 𝗘𝗠𝗣𝗜𝗥𝗜𝗦 𝗖𝗔𝗠𝗣 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗢𝗥𝗧
- A strong network of church-owned schools that support both the mission of the Diocese and individual congregations.

After an intercontinental lunch, the team proceeded to 𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗦𝗧. 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞’𝗦 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗣𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗨𝗡𝗬 in Kericho Archdeaconry for a site visit. The parish stands today as a testimony of transformation and vision. Once a struggling wooden church on the verge of collapse, the congregation embraced awakening, stewardship and visionary leadership through CCMP.

Through proper utilisation of their one-acre piece of land, the church has successfully invested in:

- Tea farming for income generation
- Beehive projects supporting parish sustainability
- Acquisition of additional land with plans to construct a commercial plaza for rental and business ventures**

This model deeply challenged and inspired the Diocese of Maseno East, especially as the Diocese continues incorporating the CCMP approach. The visit demonstrated that when the Church embraces stewardship, vision and empowerment, ministry becomes sustainable, impactful and transformational for future generations.

The delegation also toured the Cathedral compound and witnessed:

- 𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗬 𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗔𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗠𝗬, one of the leading schools in Kericho owned by the Church.
- The ongoing construction of a magnificent Cathedral, one of its kind, funded through income-generating projects, strategic partnerships and the generous giving of faithful Christians.

The Mothers’ Union leadership was equally inspired by projects managed by the Mothers of the Cathedral, which continue to empower women’s ministry and strengthen the Church economically and spiritually.

Day One concluded in a joyful atmosphere at the Cathedral with a sumptuous dinner filled with celebration, fellowship and thanksgiving. Gifts were exchanged, friendships strengthened and hearts united in Christian love as songs, dances and moments of shared joy filled the evening.

The clergy spent the night at the beautiful 𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗬 𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗚𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘 & 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗘, a remarkable hospitality facility fully owned by the Church — a true example of visionary ministry and sustainability.

Indeed, Day One was historic, insightful and transformational.

During the service, the Bishop confirmed 37 candidates, encouraging them to remain steadfast in faith, prayer and commitment to Christ as they continue their Christian journey.

Being Pentecost Sunday, the Bishop shared a powerful sermon on the move and ministry of the Holy Spirit. He reminded the congregation that Pentecost was not merely an event, but the birth of divine empowerment for the Church.

He emphasized that:

- The Holy Spirit gives believers power to witness, courage to stand for truth and grace to overcome fear.
- Pentecost marks the beginning of revival, where ordinary people become vessels of extraordinary grace.
- A Church filled with the Holy Spirit becomes a light to the world and a voice of hope to the broken generation.
- The fire of Pentecost is meant to transform lives, renew hearts and ignite passion for God’s mission.

The Bishop encouraged the congregation to continually seek the presence of God and allow the Holy Spirit to lead every aspect of their lives and ministry.

We thank God for the successful Episcopal Visit and for the continued growth of 𝗞𝗢𝗥𝗨 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗛.

📖 𝐒𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄: 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 10:28–31

After the rich young ruler walked away sorrowfully, Peter reminded Jesus that the disciples had left everything to follow Him. Jesus assured them that no one who sacrifices for His sake and for the Gospel will lose their reward. Though following Christ may involve hardships and persecution, God promises both present blessings and eternal life in the age to come.

This passage reminds us that discipleship requires surrender, but nothing given up for Christ is ever wasted. The Kingdom of God operates differently from the world’s system. Those who seem least honored now may be greatly rewarded in eternity, for “many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
