In the heart of Mwihoko, a life-changing program is bringing hope and transformation to men who have been struggling with drug addiction. The HOFAM Mwihoko Church Outreach Forum for Men, under the leadership of Reverend Danson Kiranga, Pastor Steve Kamweru, and Pastor Ephantus Kariuki, is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and reforming men with substance abuse problems. This initiative seeks to guide them towards a stable and fulfilling life rooted in Christian values.
A Mission to Transform
The outreach forum’s primary aim is to identify men who are grappling with drug addiction and are willing to change. The journey begins with the recognition that these individuals need not only rehabilitation but also spiritual guidance to rebuild their lives. Once identified, these men are welcomed into the forum, where they receive the support and resources necessary to overcome their addictions.
Central to the forum’s mission is the teaching of God’s word. The program instills a strong Christian foundation in the participants, emphasizing the role of faith in their transformation. The men are encouraged to embrace a new lifestyle, free from the chains of addiction, and to rediscover their purpose through spiritual growth and community support.
The Journey of Rehabilitation
The outreach forum doesn’t stop at addressing addiction; it focuses on the holistic transformation of these men. After undergoing rehabilitation, the program ensures that the participants do not relapse by helping them find stability in their new, reformed lives. This often involves securing job opportunities to keep them engaged and financially independent. For many, this has meant finding work in local establishments such as car washes, which provides a steady income and helps them reintegrate into society.
The forum’s commitment extends beyond immediate rehabilitation. It seeks to create a sustainable path for each participant, ensuring that they have the tools and support they need to remain on the right track. By offering ongoing mentorship and follow-up, the outreach program helps these men continue to grow in their faith and personal lives.
Key Pillars of Support
The HOFAM Mwihoko Church Outreach Forum is strengthened by the dedication of key figures who ensure its success. The Women Ministry within the church plays a vital role, with Mrs. Eunice Kiranga and Mrs. Kariuki being pivotal in coordinating efforts and ensuring that the program runs smoothly. Their compassion and dedication are instrumental in providing the care and guidance needed for the participants’ transformation.
The forum also benefits from the support of external sponsors. Mr. Gacheru from the Redeemed Gospel Church has been a significant sponsor, along with others who have contributed to making the program a success. Their contributions have enabled the church to provide resources such as rehabilitation facilities, job placements, and continuous mentorship for the reformed men.
Stories of Transformation: Rufus Nyaga’s Journey
One of the inspiring stories emerging from the HOFAM Mwihoko Church Outreach Forum is that of Rufus Nyaga. Once trapped in a cycle of alcohol and drug addiction, Rufus found his way to the forum seeking help. With the guidance and support provided by the church leaders and community, he began the difficult yet rewarding journey of recovery. Today, Rufus is a reformed man, a responsible family member, and a regular attendee of the HOFAM Mwihoko Church. His transformation extends to his family, as he brings his son to church, setting a positive example for the next generation.
A Beacon of Hope
The HOFAM Mwihoko Church Outreach Forum for Men is more than just a rehabilitation program; it is a beacon of hope for those seeking to rebuild their lives. It serves as a reminder that no matter how far one has strayed, there is always a path back to a better life. Through spiritual guidance, practical support, and community involvement, the forum is not only transforming individuals but also uplifting the entire Mwihoko community.
As the program continues to grow, the church leaders, dedicated women ministry, sponsors, and reformed men like Rufus Nyaga remain committed to the vision of transforming lives. Their work is a testament to the power of faith, the strength of community, and the possibility of redemption for all who seek it.
