Bishop Allan Kiuna, renowned for his influential role as the co-founder and senior pastor of Jubilee Christian Church (JCC) in Nairobi is dead.
He died at a hospital in Nairobi where he had been admitted, a family spokesman said. Kiuna had been rushed there for attention after his condition deteriorated on Tuesday the family friend said.
His friends and family congregated at his Runda home after news of the death. Kiuna was diagnosed with multiple myeloma Cancer in 2018/2019.
Multiple Myeloma cancer occurs when there are abnormal plasma cells that build up in the bone marrow and form tumours in many bones of the body.
He was the husband of Bishop Kathy Kiuna of the same JCC church. Many mourned the death terming Kiuna a dedicated man.
Multiple myeloma causes cancer cells to accumulate in the bone marrow, where they crowd out healthy blood cells.
Rather than produce helpful antibodies, the cancer cells produce abnormal proteins that can cause complications.
In 2019, Bishop Kiuna shared with the public his battle with cancer. He expressed gratitude to God for seeing him through the challenging ordeal.
JCC was launched in January 1999 by the visionaries Bishop Kiuna and his wife Reverend Kathy.
