Celebrated preacher and founder of Jubilee Christian Church (JCC) has passed on after battling cancer since 2019.
His death came as a shock to many after the Bishop who underwent multiple myeloma cancer treatment in the US for a year declared he was cancer-free.
Bishop Kiuna made the announcement last year on December 10 when he celebrated his 29th marriage anniversary and 57th birthday.
The First Lady, Rachel Ruto, and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s wife, Pastor Dorcas, attended the thanksgiving ceremony, among other politicians in the country.
Kenyans took to social media platforms to share their heartfelt condolences to the wife Reverand Kathy, children and the entire church family.
Music Copyright Society of Kenya CEO Ezekiel Mutua said the late bishop will be remembered for his powerful, life-changing sermons.
“Bishop Allan Kiuna preached with zeal, power and conviction and did not hold back even in the face of criticism. His powerful sermons and transformative leadership made JCC a global brand. He has touched so many people with the power of his faith. He served his purpose in his generation and has rested from the scourge of cancer. My sincere condolences to Rev. Kathy and the entire family, the JCC fraternity and the church at large. May Bishop’s soul rest in peace” he said.
Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa described his death as a great loss.
“Bishop Allan Kiuna made a significant impact through his ministry. His dedication & powerful sermons resonated well with many. His passing is undoubtedly a great loss to his family, friends, the JCC fraternity and church community”, he said on X.

What is MM
Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that develops in the bone marrow when plasma cells become cancerous. Plasma cells are white blood cells that normally produce antibodies to help the body fight infection.
In multiple myeloma, the cancerous plasma cells, called myeloma cells, crowd out normal cells and produce an abnormal antibody called M protein.
This buildup can affect multiple areas of the body, including the spine, skull, pelvis, and ribs, which is why it’s called multiple myeloma.
