Meet Pastor David Oloo Of The Good Shepard Ministries

By Marci Nielsen


The Good Shepard Ministries is located in the city of Kisumu, which is in Kenya, East Africa. The house of worship is located in Homa Bay, Kenya, which is approximately seventy miles away by land or thirty six miles by Lake Victoria. The house of worship was called Christ Faith Evangelical Church, but the church is in the process of change. They are pleased to announce their new name, the Good Shepard House of Worship. Pastor David Oloo is the senior pastor at the Good Shepard House of Worship and also served in this capacity at the predecessor church beginning in 2007.

Pastor Oloo worked diligently from 2005 to 2008 to establish an orphanage in Homa Bay for twenty five children. Many of the children became orphans after their parents passed away from AIDS. Thanks to the Pastor and his associates these innocent children now have safe, Christian homes. The continued funding for the orphanage has since changed hands, but the work continues.

In 2010 through a generous American supporter, the church was able to buy some land in Homa Bay. By 2011 the building was finished. Today the facility is standing and has a capacity of six hundred. The anonymous American donor continues to support the church by donating profits from her business.

Kisumu is a port city, culturally rich and naturally beautiful. The population is slightly more than four hundred thousand. Kisumu has a fascinating museum and it is a great way to learn about the history and the culture of the area. It has an impala sanctuary, which is also home to other animals such as hippos and cheetahs that are native to the Kenya. The city has raised the environmental awareness and prides itself on preserving the papyrus wetlands around Dunga Beach.

In the community, David Oloo is well known for his work to benefit children and the community. His father, Bishop Nashon Oloo has worked on some projects, such as the orphanage, with Pastor Oloo. The Good Shepard Ministries share the teachings of the Christian faith as practiced in the Western hemisphere. Their Baptism is with full water immersion, and they believe firmly that the bible is the word of God.

The ministries website includes a link to some suggested reading. In their work with Westerners, the ministries came to realize there is a cultural gap between the African and the Western way of thinking about money and its management. The reading is intended to bridge that gap and reduce errors due to difficult communications and misunderstanding.

Pastor Oloo credits all achievements to God. Good ministers acknowledge that God is the source of their inspiration and accomplishments. The Pastor is known for his energetic work on behalf of children and the community.

If you have the opportunity to visit the lovely port city of Kisumu, take the time to visit the ministries of David Oloo and the Good Shepard House of Worship. The beauty of the land and its people will inspire you. Both Kisumu and Homa Bay are on the shores of Lake Victoria, and the views are breathtaking. David Oloo would say that the blessings of God are bountiful.
