“Bishop Allan Kiuna, who passed away recently, emerged from humble beginnings and struggled with alcoholism before becoming one of Kenya’s most influential and affluent pastors.
Co-founding Jubilee Christian Church (JCC) with his wife, Reverend Kathy Kiuna, Allan Kiuna transformed it into one of Kenya’s largest ministries. His charismatic preaching and impactful teachings gained a global following.
Born at Pumwani Maternity Hospital, Kiuna grew up in Nairobi’s Jericho area after his parents separated when he was young. He faced academic challenges due to early exposure to alcohol but later found solace in Christianity at 19. After a stint in banking, he pursued his calling in ministry under Reverend Teresia Wairimu.
He met Kathy, whom he married in 1994, and together they raised three children. In 1999, feeling called by God, they founded JCC, starting in Nairobi and expanding internationally.
Known for their wealth, the Kiunas owned a lavish mansion in Runda and a private jet, indicative of their prosperity. Allan Kiuna battled multiple myeloma cancer, undergoing extensive treatment in the U.S. that cost approximately Sh460 million. Though he returned cancer-free in 2023, his health eventually declined.”
This paraphrased version captures the essence of Allan Kiuna’s life journey, from his early struggles to his impactful ministry and health challenges later in life.
