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 beautiful port city with a population a little over four hundred thousand. There are several of points of interest to attract tourists to the city of Kisumu. There is an Impala Sanctuary, home to impalas and other animals indigenous to the area. The city is environmentally focused and features the Dunga Beach and wetlands. The Kisumu Museum is illustrative and most informative regarding the culture and history of the city.

David Oloo and his father Bishop Nashon Oloo have a history of working to benefit children through their ministries. The beliefs of the Good Shepard Ministries are bible based affirming that the bible is the true word of God. They believe that Jesus was the God manifested in the flesh who came to earth and died to atone for the sins of man. Their Baptism is by full immersion into water. These beliefs and these practices can be found in most Christian based ministries in America.

The Good Shepard Ministries has a website that recommends some links and reading. They have observed the differences between the Western and the African ideas about the management and purposes of money. The recommended reading is to help bring the cultures together and eliminate misunderstandings due to the conflicting perspectives about money.

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.

A trip to Kisumu would be an excellent adventure. Both the cities of Kisumu and Homa Bay enjoy inspiring views to Lake Victoria. The land and the people are not to be missed. The good pastor acknowledges the gifts God has given his homeland.
