Jesus Intercessors Celebration Centre is a ministry with a vision. God gave this vision mandate to his servant Apostle pastor Edward Kunani Namaswa. The man of God was born from a humble family of nine as the second born. After completing his O level the burden of God’s work was so heavy on his life. On the 31 December 1992 God spoke to him, gave him the vision and send him in the slum town of Muhoroni where his father had been working for fourteen years as a manual labour employee in the sugar factory. The man of God grew up in this town, and acquired his early education

Pastor Kunani married Beatrice Jepkemboi in a holy matrimony on 9th December 2000. God has blessed them with 6 children four daughters ,Wema Fadhili and charity melody now adults. Faith and Lynne 3 years old (twins) and two sons Blessed Michael and Sosthenes Samuel 10 years and 7 years respectively.

Pastor started preaching the gospel in early 1990s without any formal biblical training until 2003 when he was sponsored for a certificate in ministry biblical training in School of Christ International.

From 2004 to 2008 pastor was sponsored to do a higher diploma in leadership which really helped him to steer the ministry better. In 2010 to 2012 pastor got his bachelor degree in Christian ministry.

Currently pastor is doing his master's degree in Lucent university online.

Pastor was ordained as a Bishop of JICC on his 50th birthday on 23rd November 2019.

Currently he is overseeing 20 churches within the country and God is helping him to see this churches grow.

Unfortunately early 2020 bishop started feeling unwell and because of financial strain it took six months to diagnose prostrate cancer. When he came back from his treatment in hospital, acting on a word he received from God, he washed the feet of the church members to show that he is their servant as well as their leader. It was very moving and powerful.

Bishop has preached healing, salvation and deliverance for more than 30 years and this disease almost took him off from faith. The church was mobilised to pray, intercessors were called upon and we believe healing is his portion. Currently bishop is undergoing radiotherapy treatment at M P Shah hospital in Nairobi.

The Vision

The following is the vision that the lord communicated to his servant:

1) Jesus Christ

Preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ among the nations of the world.(Mathews 28:19-20).The ministry believes that the only thing that remains before Jesus comes is the gospel to be heard in the whole world. We believe that every human being has a right to hear the gospel before he dies. It’s our mandate to facilitate this gospel to touch the lives of the people globally.

2) Intercessors

This is the power that drives the all ministry; God conceived this vision while the man of God was in prayer and fasting on the mountain. God is looking for a man and a woman to stand in the gap so that he cannot destroy the land.(Ezekiel 22:30). The prayer of intercession is the greatest force on earth that can bring God’s purposes on human race.

3) Celebration

Celebration involves the power of praise and worship to God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. With miracles or not we are in the business on exalting and praising GOD for his greatness. Celebrating the victory of Jesus Christ is an expression of faith towards God who wants us to worship and praise him in the spirit and truth (John 4:20.)

4) Centre

This is a meeting place for the saints to gather together for discipleship. To us it can be a hall or structure conducive for saints to gather together to fulfill the objectives of the ministry. It’s our mandate to make sure that every believer must grow and develop in faith by receiving the full council of GOD.

Statement of Faith

We believe that the Bible is inspired of God and a final authority in all matters of faith, and practice, we believe there is one God the creator of heaven and earth, living eternally in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and that Jesus is fully God, sinless and perfect born of a virgin, the only way for salvation of mankind through the blood that was shed on the cross of calvary, rose from the dead on the third day and will come back for the church.

Mission Statement

Our mandate is to reach the unreached groups of people among the nations of the world, disciple the church, transform the community and establish institutions to change lives.

The ministry for the last 30 years has gone through ups and downs. So far we have opened 20 branch churches. The headquarters is based in Muhoroni town 60kms from Kisumu city. We are looking forward for networking and partnering with other ministries to enable us to fulfill our vision. Since JICC began the greatest challenge has been funds. Faith has brought us this far!
