Rofati Parish 

The parish is one of seventeen in the diocese, taking part in the Church and Community Mobilization Programme (CCMP). The CCMP is a Bible-based, guided training approach that a local church can use with its community to identify the resources they have, then, working together, bring about long-lasting, whole-life change. The CCMP is funded by St James Church in the UK Diocese of Rochester.

In Rofati, the CCMP has revitalized the church and inspired the community to mobilize their resources for development activities. Church membership and giving has increased. Efforts are underway to address issues such as gender inequality and child marriage, while children and youth are gaining valuable life skills. Church members have improved their church building and raised funds to install electricity in the pastor’s house. Empowered by these achievements, the community has started to build more modern homes for their families.

They have also established three savings and credit groups: Faraja, Tumaini, and Umoja - which are helping people save money together to invest in farming activities and start small business enterprises to become more financially independent. 
 
In June 2025, members of St James Church visited Rofati Parish to hear about the impact of the CCMP. During the visit, Rev Judi Hammill baptised 44 babies, children and adults.


Below shows CCMP facilitators and church members who have been undergoing the training and the results of the agricultural training they have put into practice.
