Kathy Kiuna was named the new Bishop of Jubilee Christian Church (JCC) just days after the passing of her husband, Bishop Allan Kiuna, who sadly died of cancer.
On July 21, during a church service at JCC Parklands, Nigerian preacher Rev. Funke Felix Adejumo announced the news.
Rev. Funke Felix Adejumo revealed that she had been guided by God to appoint Kathy as the next bishop following the passing of her husband.
“My second assignment is to present to you your new bishop, and the official consecration will come later to formalize it. But from now on, you are free to call her ‘My Bishop’,” Adejumo announced.
As a prominent figure in the body of Christ, Rev. Funke Felix Adejumo was anointed and, consequently, had the authority to appoint Kathy as bishop.
“I’m a metriac in the body of Christ, so I have the audacity to do what I am doing. I was raised by God and anointed for this purpose, and I magnify my office. From today, I present to you no longer the Reverend but Bishop Kathy Allan Kiuna.”
She stressed that Kathy is fully prepared to lead the church and deserves respect in her new position.

Rev. Funke Felix Adejumo instructions from God.
The Jubilee Christian Church was told by Rev. Funke Felix Adejumo to be deliberate in their love for Bishop Kathy and to avoid disrespecting her or falling into the sin of familiarity.
“Be intentional about loving her; don’t ever disrespect her; something has shifted; when God elevates a person, he elevates everything that has their signature; and don’t ever commit the sin of familiarity if you are privileged to be around her.”
She boldly stated that anyone thinking of undermining the church should leave and start their own.
Quoting Ezra 6:11, Rev. Funke Felix Adejumo warned, “Whoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged.”
Rev. Funke Felix Adejumo stated that anyone wishing to leave the ministry was free to do so, but they should not cause trouble or speak negatively about the ministry. Instead, they should leave and start their own.
“If you want to leave this ministry to go and start the original international JCC, don’t trouble this house… Do not speak negatively about this ministry. Refrain from taking any members with you. Avoid tainting the source that nourished you. Just go and start on your own.”
I was sent from Nigeria to come and warn you. If you want to exit because you loved Bishop, not Lady Bishop, it’s okay. We, too, don’t want you. Ungrateful people are not bad. They are evil. If you want to go, we say bye-bye. Just carry your wife and children and go. What our father left here is joy and unity.” Rev. Funke Felix Adejumo stated.
Kathy Kiuna thanks God for her children.
During the service, the mother of three took a moment to express her gratitude to her children and explained the reason her daughter Stephanie could not attend her father’s burial.
“I thank God for my children. We miss Stephanie so much. She really did try to come, but for issues beyond our control, she was not able to. But she will come very soon, together with her family,” Kathy explained.
Despite the grief, Kathy Kiuna encouraged the congregation to remain united and continue the legacy of Bishop Allan Kiuna.
“I know that we are grieving, and we will grieve. But one thing I know for sure: the scriptwriter has never made a mistake. Let us walk this journey as JCC,” Kathy said.
