Does JCM have an ambulance?

During a recent church service, the man of God, alongside his wife, Reverend Joy, unveiled a brand-new ambulance dedicated to serving members of their congregation and the surrounding community.

The moment was met with loud cheers and emotional scenes as the medical van was driven to the front of the church, parking beside the pulpit.

The ambulance was then dedicated to God, marking the start of what they hope will be a life-saving mission for those in need.

Why did Kiengei buy an ambulance?

Later, Bishop Kiengei took to social media to share the painful inspiration behind the charitable gesture.

His moving post revealed that years ago, he tragically lost his sister, Wairimu, due to the lack of an ambulance during a medical emergency.

“The time I lost my sister, Wairimu, raising 50k for an ambulance was a problem… I volunteered to buy a mattress and use my sound van because I was doing public address system for hire,” he wrote.

He recalled how his desperate attempt to transport his sister from Nakuru PGH to Kijabe Hospital was denied by doctors, who insisted she needed an oxygen-equipped ambulance.

Sadly, before he could secure one from the county, his sister passed away, and that heartbreaking moment stayed with him.
