Nomiya Church was the first church in Kenya independent from the missionaries. Yohanna Owalo was among the first Luos to convert to Christianity. This must have been around 1901 or 1902.
Nomiya means “I was given” in Dholuo because Yohana believed he received the call to begin the church from God himself. Yohana Owalo got involved with the first colonial settlers early because Asembo was not as close to Kisumu as it is today.
