CET
COAST EVANGELICAL TEAM
CBF (now CET) -UoNis an Evangelistic Team formed under the umbrella of Main Campus Christian Union of University of Nairobi. It comprises of born again Christians who come or have an affiliation to mainly the coastal region or any other region and have chosen to be part of the fellowship.
Apart from sharing the same mission and vision as MCCU, CET also endeavor to reach out to other students in campus and the community at large through missions.
CBF also provides a family environment where the members find a home in a cohesive social group of coastrians whose togetherness and brotherly hood is simply indispensable.
CBF Theme verse is
Psalms 133: 1 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”-KJV.
Brief History of CBF:
CBF's (now CET) existence can be traced way back before the year 2000.
At the formative years, CBF experienced challenges but the vigilance and commitment of the few members and leaders then saw to it that it became an established and effective E-Team in 2003/2004. These were the likes of Mwalimu Menza and Earnest Lewa who oversaw the introduction and revival of CBF in not only UON but also in surrounding universities and campuses such as KU.
The members used to meet at Chiromo Campus for about 2 years, where it was easier to get a venue then. As the numbers grew especially from the main campus side, the venue was changed to Mamlaka Dining hall. Later on the members had to meet at Taifa Hall before MCCU secured the fellowship the current and more permanent venue. The venue happens to be Science Lecture I at Hyslop building, Main Campus.
CBF has been involved in several missions in the past. Examples are: The Malindi mission that CBF conducted in partnership with JCC-Malindi. They also organized and went for missions to Murang’a. Most recently is the Marafa mission at the Malindi coastal region that they have been involved in for the past 3 years(since 2012).
Over the years, CBF has produced bold members that,by God’sgrace, were able to serve at executive level of Chiromo Campus, Main Campus and Medical School Christian unions. These were the likes of: Amani Martin and Nick Mwamuyeboth served as the chair to Chiromo campus Christian Union. Karanja Anthony –served as Chair, MCCU. Hope Mwakughu- served as Prayer Coordinator MCCU. Amani Menza served as 2nd Vice in MCCU. Linet Makazi – served at Medical school. Tony Onyango-served as 2nd vice to MCCU. Dennis Mombo–served as MCCU chairperson, Esther Idawo - Associates Coordinator in MCCU and Lennox Kahati - served as Literature Coordinator in MCCU.
CBF has also produced several couples that are still happily married and holding on to the faith in the Lord. These are the likes of: The Menza’s (Mary Mwakughu and Mwalimu Menza), The Kiti’s (Kiti and Naomi).
Other members and leaders that passed through CBF have been loyal and supportive associates of CBF and continue, up to date; to stand with the E team as it dispenses its mandate.
Today, CBF is still growing in spirituality, faith and togetherness both at a corporate and individual level.
