CLC Kenya Celebrates 16 Graduating Writers from the Jade Writing Mentorship Class
CLC Kenya joyfully celebrated the virtual graduation of 16 writers from the Jade Writing Mentorship Class, marking another milestone in raising Christian authors across Africa.
Facilitated by Jackline Ingasian and hosted by Dr. Muthoni Omukhango, the graduation brought together writers from Kenya, South Sudan and Zimbabwe who have completed manuscripts across various genres, including memoirs, marriage guidance, Christian living, parenting, children’s devotionals, inner healing, financial stewardship, leadership, and discipleship.

During the ceremony, each writer shared their writing journey, the inspiration behind their book, and the lessons learnt through the mentorship process. The event also highlighted CLC Kenya’s wider mission of advancing the gospel through Christian literature, a mission connected to CLC’s global work across 44 countries.
The CLC Kenya’s Writing Class has continued to grow since its beginning in 2020, raising writers who are not only completing manuscripts but also preparing to publish books that will serve families, churches, communities, and nations.
The 2026 graduating writers were encouraged to move forward into the publishing and marketing phase, with the hope of celebrating their published works in 2027 with an in-person graduation set for 28th November 2026 at Garden Estate.
As the session closed in prayer and thanksgiving, the charge was clear: graduation is not the end of the journey, but the beginning of greater stewardship. These writers carry stories, testimonies, teachings, and messages that can impact Africa and beyond.

Nancu Mwabili: The class offered many useful tips for writing. Topics like the author’s voice and showing as opposed to telling, among others, were priceless.
The class was beneficial to me, and I can definitely recommend others. I already have two ladies who have expressed interest.
Jackline Ingasian: My journey has reminded me that writing is not only about words on a page, but also about obedience, growth, and trusting God through the process. It has shown me the power of discipline, prayer, and community in helping a writer press on. To anyone carrying a message in their heart, my encouragement is simple: begin, keep going, and trust God for the fruit.

It is about stewarding a message with diligence, humility and excellence. Through the process, the feedback and the lessons, I have been challenged to keep growing, keep refining and keep becoming all that God has called me to be.
Rose Kingatua: This writing journey has been more than the completion of a manuscript. It has been a process of reflection, surrender, refinement, and renewed hope.

For any writer preparing to release a book, the Jade Class is a valuable place to learn, grow and be guided well before publishing.
Purity Mutheu: My journey in CLC Kenya’s Jade Writing Class has reminded me that a book is not built in one perfect moment. It is built through surrender, courage, correction, tears, prayer, and the quiet decision to keep showing up. I came into the class carrying a story. I leave with a manuscript, a clearer voice, and a deeper conviction that God can use even the most painful parts of our lives to bring healing to others.
Kennedy Wangungu: My journey in CLC Kenya’s Jade Writing Class has reminded me that every calling requires commitment, humility, and patience.

Daisy Mutai: My journey through CLC Kenya’s Writing Class has been one of faith, growth, discipline, and discovery. What began with uncertainty has become a testimony of God’s grace, the power of support, and the importance of taking action even when everything is not yet in place.
Through Raising a Godly Generation, my prayer is that parents and guardians will be encouraged to lay strong foundations of faith, identity, and purpose in the lives of children. Truly, when God places a message within you, the first step of obedience may be simple, but it can open the door to something far greater than you imagined.
