Kenyan Pastor's Fellowship Launches Term-Life Insurance to Help Kenyans, Lowell MA on Jamhuri Day last year - Continued - Lots of Photos below Article by Sam Mwaura
On Jamhuri Day 2010, Kenyans from all walks of life united together in a historic Celebration organized by the Kenyan Pastors' Fellowship (KPF). The event was attended by over 30 Christian Ministers and 350 plus people who congregated together at Community Christian Fellowship (CCF) to commemorate 47 years of Kenya's Independence from the British. Her Excellency Dr. Josephine Ojiambo the Kenyan Ambassador to the United Nations (UN) was the Chief Guest. Other dignitaries who attended the very successful occasion were Senator Stephen Panagoitakos (MA State Senate) and James L. Miliozzo (Lowell Mayor). The event was hosted by Bishop David Karaya, a Co-pastor of CCF Lowell who is also the KPF President. Also, among other pastors were the Senior Pastor of CCF, Raffoul Najem and the Co-Pastor Elvira "Vi" Whitcomb of CCF Lowell were also present
The occasion featured several activities. The main one was the launching of an affordable term-life insurance for all Kenyans especially those that cannot afford one through other means (See details below). It was the culmination of a huge, challenging and rigorous process undertaken by a task force mandated by KPF. It is an attempt by the Kenyan Community leaders to bring an end to funeral and burial fundraisings in our community. According to reliable statistics, in the past 2 years, Kenyan Pastors in the New England area and their congregations have contributed over half a million Dollars to repatriate bodies home.
While addressing the attentive audience, the task-force Chairman Mr.
Paul Muite to seek for the right information about this undertaking
and not to be distracted by hate and rumor mongers whose agenda
is to fail
the Pastor's great effort.
In her main speech, H.E. Dr. Josephine Ojiambo delivered greetings from
the President H.E. Hon. Mwai Kibaki and the Kenyan Government. She appreciated
the great work done by the Pastors to help the community. Excitement
and celebration rent the air when Dr. Ojiambo revealed that
The American and Kenyan anthems were led by Ms. Vicky Waiyaki and Mr. Wilfred Tinega respectively. Prayers for both countries were offered by different Pastors. There was also a refreshing session of entertainment which featured a dance, a poem and several songs. The most exciting was a Swahili patriotic poem (Shairi) by Rev. Cyrus Maina of St. John's Anglican Church, Worcester. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. Joseph Kimatu of Tumaini Community Church who is also the KPF Vice-President.
In conjunction with the office of the Ambassador, they are seeking for a way of getting updated identity and voter's cards for the people that need them in the community. Please look out for more information from KPF soon. More Photos below! SUMMARY OF KENYAN TERM LIFE INSURANCE

He
dispelled the notion that Pastors were selling insurance clarifying that
they were actually recommending
it
and allowing the people to make a choice of what to buy. He told
the people that the Pastors role in this was to encourage everyone
to buy
a term-life insurance policy of their choice and not specifically
the one recommended by them. Dr. Newton Were also applauded the
efforts made
by the community leaders and beseeched all the people to rally
behind them and advance the community. A woman spokesman from Worcester,
MA testified of the great efforts made by the servants of God and
pleaded with the people to support them. 
She
was accompanied by her 4 children and Bishop Dr. Francis Kamau,
a reknown Gospel Minister from Nairobi, Kenya. In a joint effort,
H.E Dr. Ojiambo launched the insurance while Rev. Dr. Kamau
made a prayer of dedication. In her speech, the Ambassador also
gave medical and health advice encouraging the people to eat
healthy.
She encouraged positive reporting by the media noting that
some of them were biased and negative in their reporting. 
Mayor Jim Miliozzo of Lowell City gave a speech and presented
an award/citation to KPF. He appreciated the work done by Kenyans
in the Lowell city noting that the Lowell public school system
had a huge population of Kenyan children. Senator Stephen Panagoitakos
who represented the 40 Massachusetts State Senators also gave
a speech. He thanked the Kenyan community at large for their
hard work, unity and love for one another. He too presented
KPF with an award/citation of excellence for their great effort
of
leading the community selflessly.
