“Today marks 30 years since we got married. It’s also my husband’s birthday, and yet, just five months ago, he transitioned on a Tuesday. I’m feeling so many emotions at once. I weep, but I weep with hope because I know we will meet again in glory,” she wrote.

Kathy reflected on Allan’s unwavering love and their shared journey together.

“He was an incredible man, a truly generous soul who loved me loudly. I’ll always be grateful to God for giving me a husband who was also my best friend, confidant, father to my children, mentor, and hero. We shared so much, and he made so many of my dreams come true.”

“Our children, @vanessakiunakovacs, @stephaniekiuna, and @jeremykiunaofficial, had the best dad. He raised them to be confident and grounded in a functional and loving environment. They have no excuses not to excel. And as for his grandchildren, they knew they were deeply loved.”

Kathy expressed her trust in God through her grief, writing, “God does all things well. While we only see in part, He sees the whole picture, so I choose to worship Him and glorify His name through it all.”

Admitting how deeply Allan’s passing has affected her, Kathy added, “Does it hurt? Very much. Do I miss him? Terribly. Did I see it coming? Not at all. My eyes are on Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith. Thank you for praying for me and my family.”

In a past interview on Kameme TV, Kathy had opened up about the first time she met Allan, sharing how they were instantly drawn to each other.

“I was heading to a lunch-hour evangelism meeting when I saw Allan making a call. I had noticed him before, and my sister thought he was handsome. As I walked by, he stopped me and said he wanted to talk. To my surprise, he even knew my name. He asked me out for lunch, but I initially said no,” she recalled.

Although she played hard to get, Kathy secretly hoped Allan would persist.

“In my heart, I prayed he wouldn’t give up. The second time he asked, I wisely said yes. On our first date, I told him about my 3-year-old daughter. He was so excited and even wanted to meet her. From that moment, we became the best of friends.”

Posted on by Ozymandias

On July 17, 2024, a solemn yet heartfelt service was held at JCC Paradise in Thindigua, Kiambu County, to celebrate the life of the late Bishop Allan Kiuna.

One of the most moving tributes came from Jane Kirubi, Bishop Allan Kiuna’s sister-in-law and sister to Reverend Kathy Kiuna. Her words provided a vivid picture of the man Bishop Kiuna was and the deep love within their family.

Jane began by reminiscing about the early days when Kathy first met Allan. She described how they would often go for fruit salads at City Market during lunchtime when Kathy worked at an international company on Kenyatta Avenue.

One day, as they were walking back, a tall, handsome man called out to Kathy. Jane humorously noted her surprise at not having heard about this charming individual before.

“A few dates in, and we got to know each other,” she recalled, highlighting how Allan soon became part of their daily routine, joining their trips to City Market. Allan’s charm and presence quickly made him an integral part of their lives.

Jane recounted a particularly challenging time when Allan was between jobs. She remembered a distressing phone call from Kathy, who was considering ending the relationship after Allan had been involved in a car accident with her vehicle. Kathy was distressed, not because of the car damage, but because she felt uncertain about Allan’s future prospects.

“Then he used to borrow my sister’s car and one day my sister called me very distressed, that Allan had been in an accident. I’m like, don’t worry, we will fix the car. But Kathy was like, no, I think I need to cut him loose because it’s been months and the guy doesn’t have a job. During that time Allan was in between jobs, basically jobless. That day I was on his side… I convinced her not to dump him. Because she really was going to,” she said.

She persuaded Kathy to give Allan another chance, sensing the potential and genuine love between them.

Jane spoke highly of her sister Kathy, describing her as a true Proverbs 31 woman, a pillar of strength and virtue. She recounted how, even in Allan’s final moments, Kathy’s love and dedication were unwavering.

“My sister is that Proverbs 31 woman. You all don’t understand. When her husband checked out she didn’t want to let go. She told him no baby don’t go, we have a lot we still have to do. Please hang around. My sister, when I look at you I’m so heartbroken.

“I know how you loved him, I know how he loved you,” Jane said, her voice filled with empathy and sorrow. She expressed her heartbreak for her sister but also conveyed a message of hope and faith, encouraging Kathy to find strength in God during this difficult time.

The service saw an outpouring of support from various quarters, including notable leaders. Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and his wife, Pastor Dorcas Rigathi, were among the attendees. They praised the fallen Bishop for his contributions to the church and the community. Pastor Dorcas offered words of encouragement to Kathy, urging her to remain steadfast in her faith and continue the work that she and Allan had started together.

Kathy Kiuna reveals the two times she sought mum’s help to resolve conflicts with Bishop Allan Kiuna

Posted on by Ozymandias

In an emotional memorial service held at the Faith Evangelistic Ministries Church in Karen on July 15, Reverend Kathy Kiuna reminisced about her early years with her late husband, Bishop Allan Kiuna, and the significant role Reverend Teresia Wairimu, Allan’s spiritual mentor and their ‘mum,’ played in their lives.

What Allan Kiuna Told Rev. Kathy Kiuna Before His Death

Rev. Kathy recalled a poignant moment when Allan introduced her to his spiritual mother, Reverend Teresia Wairimu. She recounted the surprise and slight embarrassment she felt when Allan did not inform her beforehand, leading her to meet the esteemed Reverend in shorts.

“My husband was the firstborn of this family of mums. You know that she loved him so dearly. She literally made him who he was, and he acknowledged that all his life,” Kathy began. She humorously added, “When he first took me to mum, I was a 24-year-old young girl. And he never told me he was bringing me to you. I would have dressed like this at least. But he took me to mum when I was in shorts.”

Kathy continued, “That’s the time mum was ministering at City Hall and Charter Hall, and that’s when I knew that mum sees you even in the intestines. Like she knows everything inside out about you.”

Despite her initial apprehension, Kathy admitted that Reverend Teresia accepted her as she was and saw her spiritual suitability as Allan’s wife. “I was like, how are you gonna take me to her wearing shorts? Khai, she can see everything, even what I ate. But she looked at me and told him, ‘This is she.'”

“My mum caught me in the spirit; she didn’t see the shorts. She saw in the spirit that I was the wife. And she told him as much, and he had taken other girls before. She said, ‘Don’t even dare bring that one to me, I don’t even want to see them,'” Kathy shared.

“She had rejected everyone else until she saw me and said I was the one. And mum, how so prophetic that yes, I was his wife, and I walked the journey with mum with my husband all the days of our marriage,” Kathy added.

Kathy also humorously recalled the times she sought Reverend Teresia’s intervention in times of need. “Any time that my husband…there were few, like only twice, that I called mum. The first time, I went to mum and brought her right into my bedroom. My husband didn’t know I was bringing her; he thought it was me entering. I went in with mum and said, ‘Mum, here is your son, deal with him.'”

“By the time mum was done, the boy was on the ground worshipping God, saying ‘I’m sorry.’ But it was just twice. He was an obedient son,” Kathy added.

Kathy also spoke about Allan’s long battle with illness, which began in 2018. “It was a long journey that started in 2018. In 2021, he started feeling pain in his leg and later became cancer-free in 2023. Again, he started getting unwell in February 2024. He started ailing in May, then in June…”

Allan Kiuna will be laid to rest on July 17, 2024.

As the co-founder and overseer of Jubilee Christian Church (JCC) alongside his wife, Reverend Kathy Kiuna, he transformed the church into one of Kenya’s largest and most influential ministries. His charismatic preaching style and practical teachings garnered a vast following both in Kenya and globally.

Allan Kiuna’s Early Life

Allan Kiuna was born at Pumwani Maternity Hospital and raised in Jericho, Nairobi, where his parents lived. When he was about 10 years old, his parents separated, and his mother moved to the Kariobangi North slums with her children, living in a one-room house on a monthly income of only Sh800. Kiuna attended Kimathi Estate Primary School, Ofafa Jericho High School, and Parklands High School for his A levels, later pursuing accounting at the tertiary level.

Growing up, Kiuna was introduced to alcohol and other substances at 14. This lifestyle affected his focus in school, leading to poor performance and the necessity to repeat his final high school exams. At 19, he turned his life around and committed to Christianity. Later, he reconnected with his father, who had moved to the village, and supported him financially until his death from liver cirrhosis in 2006.

Allan Kiuna’s Career

After completing his accounting studies, Kiuna worked as a cashier at a local bank. With his first salary, he moved from Kariobangi North to Buruburu and then to another bank as an accountant. Despite not having a passion for banking, he worked for about four years before quitting without a backup plan, feeling a calling to start a church ministry.

After leaving his banking job, Kiuna served Reverend Teresia Wairimu, doing menial tasks and gradually finding his path in ministry.

Meeting Kathy Kiuna

Kiuna met his wife Kathy while serving under Reverend Wairimu. Kathy was part of a worship team in a church where Rev. Wairimu often preached. Initially, Kiuna did not think much of her, but he eventually became interested and asked her out. They got married in 1994 and had three children together. Kiuna described Kathy as a supportive partner who stood by him during financial struggles.

Starting His Own Church

Bishop Kiuna

From 1996 to 1998, the couple served in Rev. Wairimu’s church. In 1999, Kiuna felt called by God to start their own church. With Rev. Wairimu’s blessing, they began their ministry in a small part of a hotel on Kimathi Street in Nairobi CBD. The church grew into the Jubilee Christian Centre, with locations in the UK, South Africa, and the U.S.

The property includes large windows, a grand entryway, manicured lawns, and vibrant flower beds. There are also reports of Kiuna owning a Cessna Citation X 1997 model worth Sh2.4 billion and other luxury cars.

Cancer Battle

Kiuna was diagnosed with multiple myeloma cancer in 2018/2019. He shared his battle publicly in 2019, expressing gratitude to God for his recovery. Reverend Kathy Kiuna revealed that chemotherapy caused him to lose hair, gain weight, and become physically weak. Kiuna underwent a year of treatment in the United States, costing approximately Sh460 million. Despite the financial burden, he credited God for providing for him during this time.

In early 2023, Kiuna returned home cancer-free, celebrating his 57th birthday and the couple’s 29th anniversary. However, it is unclear when the cancer relapsed, leading to his eventual demise.

Reverend Kathy Kiuna adores her husband, Allan and thanks to her live session with MC Jessy; we now have a few details concerning the Kiuna’s who have invested quite wisely through their JCC ministry!

Speaking to MC Jessy on a live session that went down on 10th May evening; Kathy Kiuna shared new details about her relationship with the Bishop. Back then when they started dating Kathy says she first said no after the bishop asked her out on a date!

According to Kathy she had no option but to play hard to get despite knowing that she was interested in Allan kiuna. However unlike now, back then the bishop was a struggling from a humble back; but his determination to go far was among the reasons why Kathy fell for him.

Bishop Kiuna

First date

The reverend went on to tell Jessy that after refusing to go for the first date; she was left hoping he would ask her for the second time and he did! However unlike before this time around she agreed to having lunch with him. As revealed by Kathy Kiuna they both went to Utalii hotel which was among the most expensive hotels back in the day.

Since Allan had no money; Kathy was then forced to pay for the first date and till date she has no regrets about it. On the live session, the reverend who is not only a mother but a grandmother to stunning grandchildren went to to advise the young women of today’s generation.

Kathy Kiuna insisted on the importance of couples building each other as that is  the only way to the real success! Women who pray for rich husbands were also encouraged to try building with the ones they have instead of focusing on earthly treasures. The reverend also went on to add that her husband back then was a simple man with nothing…but through his hard work things finally fell into place.

Malnourished goats

Just as example to show how bad things were; Kathy Kiuna happened to mention that for bride price her husband Allan and his family showed up with Malnourished goats; forcing her dad (Kathy) to swap them with his healthy fat goats to avoid the elders and village people judging their new in laws!

Below is a video showing the live session between Kathy and MC Jessy!

When you are gay and rich even churches kiss your a**! Kenyans tear into Kathy Kiuna’s JCC for hosting gay CNN anchor

Posted on by Martin Oduor

There are at least 25 Bible verses about homosexuality, the scripture is very clear that sex between persons of the same gender is strictly forbidden and shouldn’t be embraced, at least not in churches.

You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. (Leviticus 18:22)

If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. (Leviticus 20:13)

On Sunday October 28th Bishop Allan and Reverend Kathy Kiuna hosted open gay Richard Quest at their Jubilee Christian Church (JCC) and Kenyans were not pleased at all.

JCC embracing homosexuality

Kenyans blasted the Kiunas for going against the scripture and openly endorsing homosexuality by hosting Quest at their church and even giving him a platform to address faithful.

Allan Namu denies buying 15 million brand new Ranger Rover from huge pay cut he allegedly got from Cambridge Analytica

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

As more and more Kenyans get the inside story on how they were manipulated by British’s data company Cambridge Analytica to vote for Uhuru Kenyatta, other dark secrets that have been treats as facts are also emerging.

Former news anchor Allan Namu, who has been hitting the headlines hard with many accusing his company,  Africa Uncensored, for working with Cambridge Analytica to manipulate the data in 2013 and 2017 elections, has denied the allegations completely.

Never bought a Range Rover

Namu also clarified one more thing that has been circulating but is not true; he doesn’t have a Range Rover, nor did he ever buy one despite rumors that he bought one for his birthday, for 15 million shillings allegedly got after working with Analytica.

Allan after posting the Range Rover

” I do not own a Range Rover, nor do any of the members of my immediate family. Standing in front of a car does not mean that a person owns it. I have repeatedly stated this, but given that the story was mischaracterized by gossip blogs who have no interest in finding…… the truth, a lie has been spun repeatedly,” he said.

Adding:

 “The false parallels being drawn between myself, my company and Cambridge Analytica are not just false, they are defamatory. They are meant to put Africa Uncensored’s, and indeed my own credibility in doubt, and endanger the livelihoods of the employees of Africa Uncensored.” 

 

Back when Kathy Kiuna was a young lady with only one child!

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Reverend Kathy who is a renown preacher and motivational speaker at JICC was recently celebrated by her hubby Bishop Kiuna who shared a photo from way back in the day when she still a young lady with their first born daughter on his social media pages.

The photo clearly shows how young Kathy Kiuna was and judging from how she is dressed…there is no doubt that she has always been keeping her outfits trendy.

Bishop Kiuna captioned the photo #tbt but from the comments, many praised Kathy for her beauty which cannot be overlooked.

Anyway the couple is now blessed with two grandchildren and a son who is now a teenager and probably already in high school. Below is the throwback photo:

There is nothing that can beat love. As far as we all know the Kiuna’s are among the most popular couples in Kenya. They not only run a successful church ministry but inspire a lot of people.

Well,when they are not busy with their businesses the two prefer spending time at their humble abode. However I recently bumped into a few photos from a trip they took to the coast – and boy do they look happy.

From Mr Kiuna’s caption, the trip was to help them unwind after a busy year. Anyway, they continue to inspire many who believe in love and again set an example for those who don’t believe in love.

Below are a few photos from their social media pages.
