Rhema Feast 2026: Thousands Flood Nairobi CBD for Five Days of Worship and Prayer

Rhema Feast 2026 Brings Nairobi CBD to Life

Nairobi’s Central Business District has witnessed a major gathering of Christian worshippers as Rhema Feast 2026 brings thousands of believers together at Uhuru Park.

The five-day Christian gathering began on August 31 and runs until September 4, 2026, offering worshippers an opportunity to take part in prayer, biblical teaching, worship and fellowship.

The event is being hosted under the theme “Come, Let Us Rebuild,” inspired by Nehemiah 2:17.

The large turnout has turned Uhuru Park into a major meeting point for believers from Kenya and other parts of Africa.

Thousands Gather at Uhuru Park

Rhema Feast has attracted thousands of Christians seeking a combination of worship, teaching and spiritual renewal.

The official organisers describe the gathering as a non-denominational apostolic movement founded in 2015 under RUACH Assemblies. It was established by Reverend Julian Kyula and has continued to grow into a major annual Christian gathering.

This year’s event has brought together worshippers from different backgrounds and denominations, creating a diverse crowd within the Nairobi CBD.

For many attendees, the gathering provides an opportunity to step away from their normal routines and spend several days focused on faith, prayer and fellowship.

The Theme: Come, Let Us Rebuild

The central theme of Rhema Feast 2026 is “Come, Let Us Rebuild.”

The theme is drawn from Nehemiah 2:17 and focuses on restoration, rebuilding and renewal.

Organisers have presented the theme as a call for people to reflect on different areas of their lives and consider the role of faith in rebuilding communities and individuals.

The message has also given this year’s gathering a strong sense of purpose beyond the music and large crowds.

Major Christian Leaders Take the Stage

One of the biggest attractions of Rhema Feast 2026 is the lineup of ministers from Kenya and across Africa.

Among the speakers are Apostle Joshua Selman, Apostle Michael Orokpo, Apostle Grace Lubega, Pastor Poju Oyemade, Dr David Ogbueli, Bishop J.B. Masinde, Bishop Kathy Kiuna, Lady Bishop Funke Felix-Adejumo, Apostle Mignone Kabera, Apostle Felix Okoh, Pastor T. Mwangi and Pastor George Macharia, alongside host Reverend Julian Kyula.

The international lineup has helped attract attention beyond Kenya, with ministers from Nigeria, Uganda, Rwanda and other countries joining the gathering.

The event therefore provides a platform where Christians from different countries can come together around worship and biblical teaching.

Gospel Music Adds to the Experience

Music is also playing an important role during the five-day gathering.

The worship lineup includes Nigerian gospel stars Sinach and Dunsin Oyekan, as well as South African worship leaders Dr Tumi and Ntokozo Mbambo.

Kenyan worship leaders including Jaque Gachiri, Kestin Mbogo and Njoki Munyi are also part of the programme, alongside Moji Short Babaa.

The combination of local and international gospel talent has added another dimension to the event, giving attendees an opportunity to experience different styles of African Christian worship.

A Free Main Gathering

Another notable feature of Rhema Feast 2026 is that the main convention is free to attend.

According to the official Rhema Feast website, the main arena sessions do not require tickets, allowing people to attend the Word, worship and other scheduled sessions without paying an entrance fee.

There is, however, a separate Business Forum scheduled for September 4. That session requires registration and focuses on enterprise, leadership, governance and the relationship between faith and business.

More Than a Worship Gathering

Rhema Feast has increasingly positioned itself as more than a traditional Christian conference.

The organisers describe the experience through several areas, including Word, Worship, Wonders, Business and Fellowship.

This broader approach allows the gathering to bring together different aspects of Christian life.

The Business Forum, for example, is aimed at entrepreneurs, professionals and marketplace leaders. It is designed to explore issues such as capital, leadership, governance and personal responsibility.

That combination has helped Rhema Feast appeal to people beyond the traditional church conference audience.

Nairobi Becomes a Meeting Point for Believers

The arrival of thousands of worshippers at Uhuru Park also highlights Nairobi’s growing role as a destination for large faith-based gatherings.

The city’s central location makes it accessible to people travelling from different parts of Kenya, while its transport network and hospitality industry provide the infrastructure needed for major events.

Rhema Feast is therefore not only attracting worshippers but also contributing to the wider atmosphere of activity around Nairobi CBD during the five-day programme.

Rhema Feast 2026 Continues Through September 4

The gathering is scheduled to conclude on Friday, September 4, bringing five days of worship, prayer and teaching to a close.

The official programme runs from August 31 to September 4 at Uhuru Park, with sessions built around this year’s rebuilding and restoration theme.

As thousands continue to gather, Rhema Feast 2026 has become one of the notable events taking place in Nairobi this week.

From the large crowds at Uhuru Park to the presence of international ministers and gospel musicians, the event has created a major Christian gathering in the heart of the capital.

For those attending, the focus remains on faith, worship, teaching and fellowship.

For Nairobi, the gathering is another reminder of the city’s ability to host large events that bring together people from across Kenya and beyond.
