Perhaps the largest church denomination in Kibera is “Church of Israel.” Most other Christians in the slums consider them a cult. Yet they make use of the Bible. I have much to learn about this old testament church. Do they have a witness of Jesus Christ in their community? What is their vision for ministry? What is their mission? They dress in white and worship outdoors. They are mostly one tribe – Luo. I am suspicious that they are widely misunderstood by mainline denominations, but they have a huge following in Kibera – many churches, thousands of worshippers gathering in various locations around the slum every Sunday.
