    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is the Senate’s Statement on an issue of general topical concern on the demise of Apostle (Dr.) Joe Kayo. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52(1) to make a Statement on an issue of general topical concern and national importance, namely, the demise of Dr. Joe Kayo, a distinguished spiritual leader and a founder of Deliverance Church of Kenya. Born on 5th May, 1937, in a humble setting and orphaned at 12 years, Apostle (Dr.) Joe Kayo overcame significant adversities, including substance abuse and life- threatening illness. His transformation began in 1957 following a miraculous healing after attending a T.L. Osborn's crusade. This pivotal moment led him to dedicate his life to the Ministry, marking the start of a remarkable journey in faith. Apostle Kayo's Ministry began in the Coastal part of Kenya, rapidly expanding to Nyanza and beyond. His time in Uganda was instrumental in pioneering the Pentecostal faith. He founded the Deliverance Church of Kenya and Uganda, contributed to the establishment of Juba Pentecostal Church in South Sudan and was instrumental in the growth of the Family of God churches. His profound influence on the Pentecostal-Charismatic Movement and the Christian Community in East Africa is a testament to his enduring legacy. Apostle (Dr.) John Kayo's life story is a remarkable example of faith, resilience and transformative leadership. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Dr. Apostle Joe Kayo passed away on 2nd November, 2023, leaving behind his beloved wife, Rose, whom he married in 1961. They have three sons and a multitude of spiritual sons and daughters, multitudes of preachers and Christians"
