CITAM
Valley Road
Established originally under the historical frameworks of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC), CITAM Valley Road has evolved into an autonomous, cross-generational hub operating from Nairobi, Kenya. Our focus remains uncompromised: driving a holistic gospel that addresses spiritual, physical, intellectual, and social transformations.
We operate out of the foundational conviction that Jesus Christ provides the definitive solutions to human fractures, systemic marketplace deviations, and societal leadership crises.
A community of believers impacting the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.
To know God and to make Him known through holistic ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit.
These five non-negotiable spiritual anchors dictate our institutional operations, community care, and professional deployments.
Jesus Christ remains the structural foundation and ultimate head of all our executions.
Uncompromising honesty, ethical transparency, and alignment in private and public domains.
Nurturing sacrificial relationships through local Safari small groups and holistic mercy structures.
Fostering mutual responsibility to spiritual structures, corporate standards, and state regulations.
Intentional mentoring paradigms designed to graduate believers into operational maturity.
From a tiny localized expatriate prayer group into a cross-border kingdom assignment spanning tens of thousands of souls.
PAOC Missionary John McBride arrives in Nairobi with an apostolic mandate. Initial English-speaking multi-racial worship clusters convene in Rahimtulla Hall near Jevanjee Street.
The ministry structurally relocates to 28 Valley Road. Rev. Richard Bombay completes construction of the very first sanctuary, dedicated on October 22, 1960, under the name Pentecostal Evangelistic Centre (PEC).
Under the strategic pastorate of Rev. Mervyn Thomas, the church expands and updates its nomenclature to Nairobi Pentecostal Church (NPC). The structural cross-shield logo and initial institutional constitution are drafted.
Following historical accelerations under Rev. Roy Upton and Rev. Dennis White, leadership smoothly shifts to Bishop Bonifes Adoyo, NPC’s first indigenous African Presiding Leader, marking monumental local scaling.
Nairobi Pentecostal Church rebrands officially to Christ Is the Answer Ministries (CITAM), registering as a completely autonomous independent entity under the Societies Act of Kenya to execute global operations.
The ministry governance baton passes down to the current Presiding Bishop, Rev. Calisto Odede. CITAM scales to over 38 unified assemblies locally and internationally, governing media platforms (HOPE FM/TV), schools, and university complexes.
