Men, as providers and leaders of our households, have an important role to play in building strong families and a responsible society.

I was honored to grace the African Inland Church (AIC) Men’s Conference at Laliat Secondary School in Ainamoi Ward, which brought together men and elders from more than 10 DCCs across the Kericho Central region.

The conference, presided over by the guest speaker, Dr. Rev. Julia Langat of Kabarak University, challenged men and elders to embrace their God-given responsibility and lead their families and communities with righteousness, integrity and wisdom.

I commend the AIC leadership for creating a platform that strengthens men in faith, leadership and service to society.
