The ordination was presided over by the Right Reverend Joel Waweru, who is the Bishop of the ACK Diocese of Nairobi.

The other deacons in his class who were Ordained priests are Charles Karuri, Christopher Mbogo, David Mwaura, David Ouma Ongul, Fridah K Miriti, Janeffer W Njenga, Justus Thuthi, Joseph King’ara, Lukah Mwangi, Naftali M Omaside, Nathan W Karanu, Peter M Gachaga, and Samuel Thairu.
Those who were made Deacons were Evangelist Dunson Muriuki, Mr. Hosea Pala, and Lay reader Josphat Kimani Kuria.
At his Ordination to priesthood, the Reverend Kibai was given the charge of the Church of All Nations in North Reading, Massachusetts.
He replaced the founder of the Church, the Reverend Johnson Irungu who has moved out of state.
Church of All Nations is located at 235 Park St.North Reading and it serves people of all Nations.
It has taken the sheer hand of God and His gracious favor for the Reverend Kibai to get here.
He previously served as Lay reader and Brigade teacher at St. Paul’s Community Church in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
He was the only priest to be given charge of a church among those ordained.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Later after the Ordination there was a thanksgiving reception at Taj Gardens, Thika. Fellow longtime friend, Mr. Joseph Kariuki Ndungu (JN) of Springfield,Massachusetts spoke on behalf of the Diaspora community.
We thank God for the gracious favor He has shown to one of our very own Rev. Kibai Gikuyu, who was grafted into the Nairobi Diocese.
May the Lord be with his servant and his family in the new role.
The Reverend and his family wishes to thank all those who have committed themselves in prayers both in the USA and abroad, and all the incredible well wishes across the board. God’s manifestation has indeed been experienced. To God be the glory.
