Kaimosi Friends University today hosted its 2^nd Interdenominational Prayer Breakfast and Thanksgiving Service, bringing together clergy, staff, students and stakeholders in a powerful moment of reflection, gratitude and spiritual renewal.

The event, held at the Assembly Hall, was themed “Rooted in Christ, Flourishing in Learning,” underscoring the University’s commitment to nurturing both academic excellence and spiritual growth.

Speaking during the event, Vice Chancellor Prof. Peter Mwita emphasized the central role of faith in shaping the University’s journey over the past academic year. He noted that the institution had witnessed remarkable progress and stability despite challenges faced across the higher education sector.

The prayer breakfast reflected on the University’s first interdenominational prayer held on 3^rd October 2025, where the KAFU community committed its plans and students into God’s hands. The fruits of those prayers are now evident in the outstanding achievements recorded by students.

“Our students have emerged as champions of peace, earning national recognition in peace advocacy forums. They also participated successfully in the Kenya National Research Festival, presenting innovative, solution-driven projects addressing real societal challenges. Many students demonstrated exceptional creativity through the development of AI technologies, health innovations and other impactful solutions.” Said Prof. Mwita.

He added that in co-curricular activities, students excelled in sports, with the University’s Frisbee team ranking among the best in Africa, while the Debate Club achieved both regional and national success. Students also actively participated in 27 community outreach programmes, including environmental conservation and educational initiatives, reflecting a strong culture of service and responsibility. He said that peaceful election and installation of the KAFUSA Student Governing Council further demonstrated maturity in student leadership and governance. These achievements reflect a holistic development approach where students grow intellectually, spiritually and socially, becoming responsible and impactful members of society.

Despite national disruptions caused by industrial action in universities, KAFU maintained academic continuity and institutional harmony, safeguarding the academic calendar and ensuring uninterrupted learning.

The University also recorded progress in governance, infrastructure development and expansion, including the growth of Kobujoi Campus and the establishment of the Vokoli (Mudamba Mudavadi) College of Health Sciences.

The event brought together religious leaders from diverse faith traditions, reflecting the University’s inclusive foundation rooted in Quaker values. The Vice Chancellor expressed appreciation to the clergy for their continued role in nurturing students’ spiritual growth and called for sustained collaboration between the University and faith community. The keynote sermon was delivered by renowned gospel minister Dr. Reuben Kigame, who challenged the University community to anchor their lives in faith, discipline and purpose. In his message, he emphasized the importance of spiritual grounding in achieving true success.

“Education without character is incomplete. You must be rooted in Christ if you are to flourish not just in academics, but in life. Do not measure success only by grades and accolades. Measure it by the impact you make, the lives you touch, and the integrity you uphold” Dr. Kigame said.

He urged students to remain steadfast in their values despite societal pressures, reminding them that true success is defined not only by academic achievement but by integrity and service.

Dr. Kigame further called on students to recognize their potential and purpose, encouraging them to rise above limitations and trust in God’s plan.

“You are not here by accident. You are here by divine design, and God has placed greatness within you. Nurture it, protect it, and use it to transform the world,” he emphasized.

As students prepare for examinations and transition into the next academic phase, the University used the occasion to dedicate its future to God, seeking divine guidance, protection and success.
