Jubilee Christian Church (JCC) Bishop and head preacher Allan Kiuna is dead.
Preliminary reports indicate that the prominent religious leader renowned for his influential role as the co-founder and senior pastor of JCC passed away while receiving treatment at a hospital in Nairobi on Tuesday July 9, 2024.
A family spokesman while speaking to the press said that Kiuna had been rushed at the facility for medical attention after his condition deteriorated.
His family and friends congregated at his Runda home following the news of the death.
The pastor has been battling cancer for a long time and had been out of the country for the better part of 2023, seeking treatment in the United States.
Kiuna’s wife Bishop Kathy Kiuna back in 2019 disclosed that the JCC founder had been diagnosed with the deadly illness but revealed that he beat it and went into remission.

However, Kathy later revealed that Bishop Kiuna’s cancer recurred, forcing the preacher to seek treatment once again.
