“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”
— Mark 16:15
The Vision: Why We Go
Overcoming Faith Church has always carried a singular conviction at its heart: the Great Commission is not a suggestion; it is a command. When Jesus declared in Mark 16:15, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature,” He issued a charge that every generation of believers must answer afresh. The Go Ye Mission was born from that conviction, our deliberate, prayerful response to a world that is perishing without the knowledge of Christ.
We believe the Church does not merely exist within four walls; it is sent into streets, estates, and communities to the people who may never otherwise hear the Good News. This February, in partnership with the missionary team from the University of Nairobi, we answered that call in the heart of Roysambu. Ordinary believers, empowered by the Holy Spirit, walked in apostolic power, and God showed up in extraordinary ways.
Before the first step was taken into the field, this word from 1 Samuel anchored the entire team and became the prophetic declaration over every day of the mission:
“So David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?” And He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.”
— 1 Samuel 30:8
We pursued. We overtook. And without fail, we recovered one hundred and one souls brought home to the Father.
Event Details
The Go Ye Mission took place from February 25th to March 1st, 2025, spanning five powerful days across Roysambu one of Nairobi’s most densely populated neighbourhoods. The mission was a joint effort between Overcoming Faith Church and the missionary team from the University of Nairobi, bringing together the local church and the academy in one unified apostolic purpose. The team moved through residential estates, set up open-air altars, and engaged residents in conversation, creating spaces across the neighbourhood where the gospel could be heard and hearts could be changed. Roysambu was not merely a location it was a mission field, and the team entered it with that full conviction: “Roysambu, we are here. The altar is being set. The ground is ready.”
Mission Recap: How It Unfolded
From the very first day, the Go Ye Mission carried the full atmosphere of a crusade. The church truck rolled out into the streets of Roysambu as a moving declaration a signal to every estate and every corner of the neighbourhood that the gospel had arrived. Mounted and moving, it became a rallying point, drawing attention, stirring curiosity, and announcing to all of Roysambu that something significant was happening in their streets.
Music was at the very heart of how the mission moved. The music ministry filled the open air with vibrant, Spirit-filled praise, and the effect was immediate. People came out of their homes, others from their business. Neighbours stopped and gathered. Children ran toward the sound. And then, right there in the streets and open spaces of Roysambu, people began to dance. It was not a performance it was a celebration, a declaration that the joy of the Lord had come to the neighbourhood. The atmosphere was alive, electric, and unmistakably touched by the presence of God.
As the music drew the crowds and the worship created an open atmosphere, the Word was preached with boldness and clarity. Altar calls were made right there in the open air on the streets, in the estates, among neighbours and strangers alike and people responded with open hearts. The crusade format proved to be exactly the right approach for Roysambu: it met people in their world, in their environment, and brought the presence and power of God directly to where they stood.
One of the standout moments of the week came when the plans shifted mid-mission and the team moved to Ngumba estate, setting camp there and taking the Word directly to the residents. Rather than retreat when things changed, the team pressed in and God gave a remarkable victory. Many gave their lives to Christ in Ngumba that day, confirming what the team already knew: the Holy Spirit was leading every step, every route change, and every decision.
By the close of the mission, 444 people had been reached with the gospel across Roysambu, and 101 souls had surrendered their lives to Christ. Every number is a name. Every name is a life. Every life is a miracle of grace. The harvest was plentiful and the team walked in nothing less than apostolic power. To God be all the glory.
To every team member who gave their feet and their faith, to the music ministers who led the people in worship on the streets, to every intercessor who prayed, and to every partner who believed with us this victory belongs to all of you. He said Go. And we went.
