MESSAGE FROM THE PASTORATE & HEAD ELDER
Pastor OBED NYAMACHE Pastor PETER NYAGAH Pastor JACK OGEDA

SENIOR PASTOR ASSOCIATE PASTOR ASSOCIATE PASTOR
There is wailing and crying of desperation and hopelessness descending down the
hill of Calvary. Jerusalem and it’s environs is covered with grief and pain as their
hoped King and deliverer; the son of Joseph hung on the tree. But as the grief and
mourning scatter down the valley and in the city, the beams of eternal life shone like
the rays of the sun, peircing through the gloom and dark of eternal hopelessness
unto the ends of the world with an insignia: It is Finished!
Yes, Hope and Life has become our reality for even in the uncertain days, “We have
also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto we do well to heed unto a light
ELD. JOASH ALUOCH
that shineth in dark place, until the day Dawn’s “(2 Peter 1:19).
HEAD ELDER
Welcome all to 2020 annual Camp Meeting where “God and His Prophets,” is
our subject.
MESSAGE FROM THE CAMP MEETING CHAIR

Saints of the Most High, I greet you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Once again, we have come to our much anticipated, spiritually uplifting annual camp meeting.
Last year, 2019 is a great testimony for our church and a true reflection of God’s instructions and
promises as espoused in Deuteronomy 16:15. The Church of God is truly blessed.
This year the camp meeting 2020, is also truly unique but not surprising, because in
Deuteronomy 16:15 the Lord says, we will celebrate the festival (Camp Meeting) to our God at
a place that the Lord our God chooses. “For the Lord our God will bless us in all our harvest and
the work of our hands (blessings unto our family, businesses, employment, relations etc.) so that
our joy will be complete.”
ELDER BILLY APOLA
CHAIRMAN, CAMP MEETING This year, I’d like to invite everyone; children, teenagers, young adults, adults and senior
COMMITTEE individuals to be part of our first ever virtual camp meeting and experience real blessings and
renewal of our souls to worship in truth and spirit from the comfort and safety of our homes.
Please plan to be a part of this spiritual celebration and awakening this year.
The Church website www.nairobicentralsda.or.ke contains detailed information on the Camp

Meeting, including our guest speakers, the program and internet bundle discounts offered by
service providers.
Welcome.

Naskia sauti, Naskia sauti, sauti ya mama, sauti ya mama, sasa ni saa sita, sasa ni saa sita, kwaheri mwalimu
I recall the countless times that we sang that song in kindergarten. It heralded a break from the rigours of school and launched the lunch break
which was followed by a two-hour nap and a period of play. I still sense the distinct feeling of peace and joy that those words brought to us and
the enthusiasm with which we prepared for and sung them out. “Saa sita” – the sixth hour – became synonymous with refreshment, release and
rejuvenation.
God understood that, as humans, to be truly healthy, happy and whole we would need many “saa sita” moments in all areas of life. He made
provision for them in the Bible through a system of mandatory feasts. You heard me right! God-ordained feasts at various points in the year for
the exact purpose that their name signifies – feasting. He isn’t all about rules and restrictions, you know. He is about connection, interaction and
enrichment between humans and their God and among humans across generations and social groups.
Over the centuries we have carried with us the essence of one such feast as a church—The feast of the booths or what we fondly call
The camp meeting. Just like its original intent, we use the time to feast physically and spiritually. We make time to slow down from ordinary work
so that we can connect, converse and commune with each other and with God. Back in Bible times, the Booth feast reminded the Israelites of
living in booths during their wilderness experience as they headed to the promised land. Well, we do not live in booths, but this place feels like a
wilderness in many ways. Even as we wait for our heavenly home, don’t we need a booth-like experience or, like my childhood days, a “saa sita”
moment?
This year, more than any other year, with all that we have been through (the first half has been unlike any other) we need to pause. And pause we shall. From August
8th to 15th 2020, we shall have our camp meeting. This one has all the hallmarks of modern camp meetings – incredible fellowship, uplifting music and
transformational teachings on health, prophecy, leadership, family life, God and the real-life. These cater for all age groups. Then there is a twist. It is
virtual.
Of course. The prevailing social distancing rules mean we leverage technology to still provide this “saa sita” moment. Cognizant of the moments
and traditions of this feast that include extending God’s care to others, we want to make it a giving moment. Since we love sharing in feast times.
we purposefully lift an offering that we call “camp meeting offering” This helps to support worthwhile gospel efforts across Kenya. We, therefore,
encourage you to partner with us in this endeavour.
Like all feasts, certain things need to be in place for it to be really special; First, feasts have attendees, so we ask that you make time for this
interaction. Due to the rich menu on offer, taking the week off from work will be a really good idea. But we are not all about feasting by ourselves.
We love feasting with friends and family – and even enemies if such there be –because when the feast is done, even the enemies become friends.
So on a serious note, there is something better than feasting and that is feasting with someone else. Please invite a friend, family, neighbour,
colleague…someone.
Now, all feasts have a venue and though for this one, we will meet virtually, we ask you to make plans to be there. It is not just another webinar.
It is lively, engaging and customized for you. It is an extraordinary feast because it has a spiritual incline to it. Therefore, prayer is a good thing to
engage in, prior to and during the feast.
Are you new to any of these? Do not worry, prayer is talking to God as to a friend. So why not just open your fears, desires and curiosities to God
as you would to a friend? As Him to give you a good camp meeting experience. If that is still a challenge, please make a point to attend the feast
where you will learn how to engage with God lovingly and practically. We are big on authenticity. We aren’t all about celebrities and performances.
We have Jesus as the chief guest and He will speak to us through a host of His servants. He will also allow us to have a foretaste of heaven’s music through the
following groups: Shofar, King’s Own, Final Appeal, Silvercord, Heritage Family Singers, Seraphix, Elders’ Choir, The Youth Choir, The Junior Choir,
Mothers’ Voice.
You want to hang out with Jesus and His friends, don’t you?
The feast is free to engage in but costs to put together so we ask that you help us so that together we can afford to have this “saa sita” moment.
You can give your monetary contributions through CHURCH M-PESA PAYBILL 320100 or if you want to offer support in Kind, please get in touch
with us on www.nairobicentralsda.or.ke
Now all
Naskia sauti, naskia sauti, sauti ya Yesu, Sauti ya Yesu, sasa ni Makambi, sasa ni makambi. Twendeni Makambi
This is my “saa sita” moment. What is yours?

Theme Song
Search me, O God
Search me, O God, and know my heart:
try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
PSALMS 139:23-24
S earch me, O God, and know my heart today;

Try me, O Savior, know my tho’ts, I pray;
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin, and set me free.
I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin;

Fulfill Thy word and make me pure with-in;
Fill me with fire, where once I burned with shame;
Grant my desire to magnify Thy name.
Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine;

Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine;
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;
I now surrender, Lord, in me abide.
O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee;

Send a revival, start the work in me;
Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead.
