      ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

      A journey of a thousand miles is begun by a single step a famous Chinese saying. Never has this been true than it is now in my life. This work was as a result of years of meditating on Gods purpose for creating man and continued listening to servants of God as they taught this subject. Reading books on this subject also increased my passion to learn more.

      I acknowledge the input of Bishop Mark Kubai Kariuki who is currently the presiding bishop of Deliverance churches Kenya, the late pastor Moses Maina Mwangi and Bishop Paul Muliwa Mwakio for the doors they opened for me to minister in the ministry of Praise and worship. I cannot forget to mention their fatherhood input in the manner in which they allowed me to make mistakes and helped me grow in the area of corporate worship leading. Many thanks go to pastor Dixon Thuo and his wife Mercy who literally mentored me in the worship leadership in their capacity as worship leaders.

      I sincerely acknowledge the works of Rev. Stanley and Ann Mwalili who allowed and still do allow uninterrupted praise and worship experience in church. Their passion for praise and Worship infiltrated the whole congregation, and needless to say this part of the service became one of the most cherished by many. Thank you pastor Joe Mbuvi and Joshua Mbugua alongside Pastor Bosire for your incredible contribution to a wonderful worship atmosphere, May the good Lord flourish you in levels you have not known.

      To Rev. Albert and Mary Shitakwa, I extent my warm gratitude for not only being a man and woman with hearts for worship, but also the kind that opened opportunity for all. I have found enlarged opportunities not only to share my thoughts on the subject but to actually demonstrate the act of worship. As I would always say, Pasi ! wewe, ni wa maana, meaning your are truly important .

      Special appreciation goes to my then music Director Pastor Faith Okuyo now Mrs. Lugonzo who not only proofread my work but also put some input. Faith not many leaders would do what you did in fact they would use the material to either write their own worship books or worse of it all discredit the writer just for a mere fact that they serve under them and so for fear of being outshone allow the spirit of insecurity to take hold of them. Faith there is absolutely no reason why you should not be blessed. You were a selfless leader who never felt insecure but mentored all who cared to be mentored by grace and you sealed it with love. I am grateful to God for you. May the good Lord flourish you.

      I wish to single out CITAM Woodley worship team led by Pastor Grace Bukachi who was my music instructor. I learn a lot by observing you mum lead the people of God before God’s presence. You are a good example of teamwork spirit and a mother to all. I want you to know pastor B as you are famously referred to, that I appreciate you and keep on keeping on. What an angelic voice you got and a life after God’s heart that you have demonstrated. Bless you. I truly love the embracing of all music types in the congregation from hymns, to contemporary Christian music among many.

      I specifically want to acknowledge the support of my covenant partner and Husband, Eng. David Komen. Honey you are the best thing that happened to me. You did not only support me financially but morally, emotionally and more so spiritually. I will forever be grateful to God for giving you to me. I enjoy life more as a married woman than I did as a single person. You have indeed been what Dr. Myles Munroe terms as a ‘Real man’. The man of God describes a real man as one that not only leads his household in worship but also cultivates his wife. Honey, you are my ‘real man’, you cultivate me and lead our home in the path of faith. I am so blessed to be married to you. To our sons Emmanuel (13) and
