JCC founder Bishop Allan Kiuna dies in hospital
Jubilee
Christian Church (JCC) founder Bishop Allan Kiuna has died at a Nairobi hospital while receiving treatment.
The 57-year-old reportedly passed on at around noon,
before his body was transferred to the Lee Funeral Home.
His
wife, Rev. Kathy Kiuna, in a lengthy Instagram post in 2019, revealed that he had
been diagnosed with Cancer the previous year.
Rev.
Kathy, at the time, noted that the chemotherapy treatment had caused Bishop
Kiuna to lose hair and gain weight.
She went ahead to state that he was unable to stand or walk for
long, and would even have to tiptoe because of the immense pain in his legs.
Bishop
Kiuna in 2022 sought further treatment in the United States, where he ended up
spending a year, and on his return last year, announced that he had won the battle
against the disease.
During
a thanksgiving service held at his Nairobi church on December 10, 2023, he declared
himself Cancer-free, further revealing that his treatment cost over $3 million
(nearly Ksh.460 million, by then).
He,
however, went on to state that not a single coin out of this amount came from
his own pockets.
“For the one year that I was in the US, my treatment cost $3
million, and I didn’t remove one coin from my pocket because the God of heaven
provided. I did not call anyone,” he said then.
“Don’t get bitter with the process. If you get bitter with
the process, you shall abort your purpose. I am not bitter about the process
because I am better. My best days are ahead of me.”
The thanksgiving ceremony also marked Bishop Kiuna’s 57th
birthday, and his 29-year marriage anniversary to Rev. Kathy.
