Kathy Kiuna, co-founder of JCC, recently shared the story of how she first met her husband, Pastor Allan Kiuna.

During an interview on Kameme FM, Kathy recalled the moment vividly, noting that she had noticed Allan earlier but didn’t realize he had also taken notice of her.

“I was on my way to a lunch hour evangelism meeting when I spotted Allan making a phone call. I had seen him before with my sister, who had remarked on his good looks,” Kathy said.

As she passed by, Allan interrupted his call and asked her to wait a moment so he could speak with her. “After he finished his call, he greeted me with ‘Hi Kathy,'” she continued. “I was surprised because I didn’t think he knew my name. He then asked me out to lunch, but I turned him down initially.”

Despite playing hard to get, Kathy hoped Allan wouldn’t give up. “Deep down, I prayed that God wouldn’t let him slip away. The second time he asked, knowing it wouldn’t be wise to refuse twice, I agreed.”

“On our first date, I shared with him that I had a 3-year-old daughter,” Kathy added. “He was genuinely excited and eager to meet her. From that moment, we became the best of friends.”

Kathy and Allan have now been happily married for over 25 years, their journey together marked by a deep friendship and mutual respect.
