A church-led programme dubbed Church Community Mobilization Process (CCMP) is embracing a holistic approach in addressing the spiritual, social, economic and physical needs of the local communities.
While speaking on Sunday at ACK Christ the King Cathedral in Nyahururu during CCMP Day, Provost Rev John Ngenye, who coordinates the CCMP programme said the programme focuses on improving the living standards of the local community through utilising locally available resources within the communities to fight poverty, uplift livelihoods and improve their overall wellbeing. "Through this process, we embrace a holistic approach, addressing not only spiritual needs but also the social, economic and physical needs of the people we serve," noted Rev Ngenye.
He further explained that the church targets the local community to have the right knowledge in their mind, to have Christ in their hearts, to have food on the table, money in their pockets, as well as having good relationships with God, neighbours, environment and among themselves.
The provost urged the members to turn their backyards and their compounds into places of provision by planting vegetables, as well as rearing chicken which would in the long run improve their diets as well as put money into their pocket through sale of the surplus. "Wherever God has placed his people, He has also provided enough resources," noted Rev Ngenye who also urged people to always look hard in their surroundings noting they will always find the opportunities and avenues for these provisions.
