Who Is Pastor David Oloo?

By Janet Moore


God raises a servant for every generation to fulfill his will for the people. This is what He has done with Pastor David Oloo. The servant of God was called at a young age to minister to afflicted people in Homa-Bay, Kenya. His ministry work is guided by the scripture that instructs all humanity to love one another as one loves him or herself.

Obeying the voice of God, the man of God worked hard to establish an orphanage between 2005 and 2008. The orphanage targeted children left behind by parents who succumbed to the deadly AIDS scourge. They would find a home under the care of his father Bishop Nashon. Starting with a group of fifteen children, the home has gradually expanded and is able to accommodate more children.

With limited resources and an ever growing demand the ministry has been strained. The elder children in the home require more than food, shelter and clothing. New children are coming into the home. This has sent the care givers into a frantic search for resources to ensure that the children under their care never walk hungry or naked. The servant of God also wants to ensure that no one coming to him for assistance will return empty handed.

The number of children in the orphanage has been rising steadily and has gone beyond 25. It is no longer easy to effectively cater for their needs without straining or to guarantee a future for them. The need to assist families bearing the burden of adopting children orphaned by HIV/AIDS has been pronounced by the need to end the cycle of poverty in these families. This servant of God has taken up the responsibility.

Pastor David dedicated his youth to taking in these orphans and offering them food, shelter and clothing. This is what God has called him to do. He relies on the support of well wishers to accomplish the goal of loving his neighbors as he loves himself. He has served for many years as a senior pastor at Christ Faith Evangelical Church. Through his leadership, this ministry has achieved a lot. It is in the process of transforming in order to serve a growing congregation in need of God 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.

The religious and ethnic diversity in Kenya has been viewed as a blessing. The beauty of its landscape is matched by a population that is both hopeful and kindhearted. However, this beauty fails to shine when a large number is suffering from sickness and poverty. It is upon the efforts of Pastor Oloo and well wishers to keep the smile on the faces of afflicted families and especially children.

The ministry has been transparent in administration of donor funds. It has engaged in projects that have transformed the lives of numerous children. Donors who have visited the home have been impressed by the progress. This is a course worth the attention of every Christian.
