The Africa East Field held its 7th Women’s Extravaganza conference from 17-20 July 2025, at the Plainsville Resort, Katito—Kisumu in Lake Victoria District. Ninety (90) women from seven districts gathered for a time of worship and celebration where they focused on the theme, “Women’s evangelism and discipleship as a lifestyle for change and transformation,” using John 4:1-42 as its foundation.
On the first day, Lake Victoria District Superintendent George Nyatumba and his wife, Mrs. Lilian Nyatumba, shared in the opening session. He welcomed each person, and then he welcomed East Africa/Horn of Africa Field Strategy Coordinator Stanley Ushe, to share a devotion.
Ushe shared on the topic of “Prayer of Desperation” and talked about Hannah and how she poured her heart out to God, encouraging the women to do the same so that they can leave the conference feeling different from the way they came.
Each conference day began with a devotion, followed by the main session led by the worship team in corporate worship. The excitement felt was palpable, especially with different cultures being represented, and different districts showcasing their unique cultures. Each day, guest speaker Grace Ushe reminded those present that they are women of value and worth, and God has a purpose for each one to fulfill his mission.
In addition to the main sessions, the conference also covered important topics such as mental health, how to start small groups, empowering women, family focus, entrepreneurship, planning for retirement, and preaching. These topics continued to affirm the ladies about their worth and God’s unique purposes in each ones’ life to fulfill his mission.
“Thank you to the Africa East Field’s Nazarene Discipleship International for organising the Women’s Extravaganza, and for their hard work in making this a success,” an attendee said. “This was the most successful conference yet, and NDI continues to pray that all those involved will multiply their efforts in their local churches and on their districts. Our church will grow, and the women will lead discipleship.”
