Building The Kingdom : A Closer Look at CITAM

 Christ is the Answer Ministries (CITAM) is a Pentecostal church organization that was founded in Kenya in 1952 by American missionary Dr. Louis Francescon. Since then, CITAM has expanded beyond Kenya and established branches in other African countries, as well as in the United Kingdom and the United States.

CITAM's mission is to "preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, nurture believers, and show the love and power of God in practical ways." A council of bishops, who oversee the church's operations and ministries led the organization. Each local congregation is led by a pastor or team of pastors, who are responsible for preaching, teaching, and providing pastoral care to the members of the church.

One of the hallmarks of CITAM is its emphasis on evangelism, missions, and outreach programs that serve the needs of the communities in which it operates. These programs include education and training, healthcare, social welfare, and economic development initiatives. For example, in Kenya, CITAM has established several schools and a hospital to provide education and healthcare to the local communities. In addition, the organization has established several Bible colleges and theological training institutions to equip pastors and other church leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively serve their congregations.

CITAM is also known for its strong emphasis on worship and music. The church has produced numerous gospel music albums over the years, and its worship services are often lively and energetic. In addition, the organization hosts regular conferences, retreats, and other events for its members and the wider community.

CITAM relies on donations from its members and supporters to fund its operations and ministries. These donations are typically made through regular tithes and offerings, as well as special offerings for specific projects or needs. The church is committed to financial transparency and accountability, and adheres to basic accounting and financial management standards.

Overall, CITAM is a significant and growing church organization with a strong emphasis on evangelism, outreach, and community service, as well as a commitment to spiritual growth and development for its members and leaders.
