Bishop Allan Kiuna is Dead
Nairobi evangelist and co-founder of Jubilee Christian Church (JCC) Bishop Allan Kiuna has passed away following a prolonged battle with illness.
The family spokesperson reveals that Kiuna has passed away in a Nairobi hospital where he had been receiving treatment. According to a family friend, his condition had worsened on Tuesday, prompting his urgent admission to the hospital. In January 1999, Bishop Kiuna and his wife Reverend Kathy, established JCC.
What began as a modest congregation evolved into one of the city's largest churches, touching countless lives through dynamic sermons and inspirational teachings. In 2018, Bishop Kiuna received a diagnosis of multiple myeloma, a rare cancer affecting plasma cells in the bone marrow. Despite this challenging diagnosis, he remained resolute in his faith, openly sharing his journey with his congregation.
The couple's union began during a period of financial hardship with Kiuna reportedly offering five malnourished goats as dowry. This humble beginning eventually blossomed into a partnership that would transform numerous lives. In December 2023, Kiuna marked his 57th birthday with a lavish celebration. His wife organized an all-white party that evolved into a thanksgiving service, commemorating what was described as his full healing. Kiuna expressed deep gratitude to his congregants for their unwavering support having reportedly spent Sh460 million on cancer treatment abroad.
Bishop Allan Kiuna's passing leaves behind a bereaved family, a grieving congregation, and a significant void in Nairobi's spiritual community. Music Copyright Society of Kenya CEO Ezekiel Mutua described Kiuna as a man who touched the hearts and souls of people worldwide with his commitment to his beliefs.
"One can safely say that he served his purpose and has rested from the scourge of cancer. My sincere condolences to Rev. Kathy and the entire family, the JCC fraternity and the church at large. May Bishop's soul rest in peace," wrote Kiuna in a lengthy text on his X page.
