Generosity and Unity Shine in Kenya: A Celebration of Love and Togetherness
Kenya is once again experiencing the true spirit of unity, generosity, and love, thanks to the recent heartfelt gestures of the Luo community in the regions of Ungenya and Kisumu. Bishop David Munyiri Thagana, the founder of Glory Outreach Assembly (GOA) and the General Secretary of the Federation of Evangelical and Indigenous Christian Churches of Kenya, has expressed his admiration for the warm reception and remarkable generosity shown by the people during his visit last weekend.
In a statement filled with gratitude, Bishop Thagana shared his experiences, highlighting the importance of coming together as one people, beyond political or ethnic divisions. “In the heart of Kenya, among the vibrant people of Ungenya and Kisumu, the spirit of generosity, hospitality, and friendship shines like a beacon of hope,” he remarked. “The Luo community has once again demonstrated what it means to embody kindness and unity, reminding us that our relationships as Kenyans should never be defined by political boundaries or rhetoric.”
The bishop’s message resonates deeply, especially in a time when political tensions often seek to divide communities. “While politicians may seek to divide citizens for power, God calls us to unite in unconditional love,” Bishop Thagana continued. “This love transcends all barriers, for as it is written, ‘In Christ, there is neither Jew nor Gentile.'” He emphasized that it is through such divine love that Kenyans can overcome differences and celebrate shared humanity.
In the coming days, Bishop Thagana invites all Kenyans to continue this celebration of unity, with a series of special events that will bring together communities across the nation. On Thursday, a joyful assembly will take place at GOA Mukungi in the Kinangop region, followed by the 31st anniversary celebration of GOA Geta in Kipipiri, Nyandarua County, running from Friday through Sunday. These events, he said, will be a testament to the enduring bond that unites Kenyans, reminding everyone that true strength lies in unity under God.
For those who cannot attend these physical gatherings, Bishop Thagana has opened a window into the beauty and warmth of the Nyanza region. Through his YouTube channel, “Bishop David Munyiri Thagana,” viewers can experience the stories and reflections that highlight the incredible generosity and hospitality of the Luo community.
As Christmas draws near, Bishop Thagana urges all Kenyans to embrace the lessons of generosity and unity demonstrated by the Luo community. “May this season be a time of love, peace, and togetherness for all Kenyans,” he said, reminding everyone that the true spirit of Christmas lies in the bonds we share and the unconditional love we extend to one another.
As Kenya celebrates these milestones of unity, Bishop Thagana’s call for togetherness serves as a timely reminder of the power of community and the enduring strength that comes from embracing diversity.
