Shanzu local church organized an outreach mission in Karungu at the home of Oswago where Bride of the Lamb Darlan Rukih was born and brought up. This meeting was attended by hundreds of people who majorly came from a church lead by one Opeyo Orwa who was also considered an Apostle by his followers. Opeyo Orwa was preaching faith in Jesus instead of preaching Jesus Christ. When Bride of the Lamb Darlan Rukih taught about the gospel that should be preached, most of them were convinced that they didn’t know that Jesus Christ is the gospel that should be preached and that Jesus Christ had not been preached to them as the gospel. They requested that Jesus be preached to them and those who believed were baptized including their leader Opeyo Orwa. Most of the people who left this meeting also went and testified to others. Later on, Bride of the Lamb Darlan Rukih embarked on a follow-up mission. It is during this follow-up that she established most local churches in Nyanza and rift valley. These local churches include; Kadem Ong’er, Ndhiwa, Kadem Aego, Kadem Kabuto, Namba Kahezron, Migori Town, Nyamilu, Ragana, Ranen, Dede, Nyamuga, Ruga, Othoro, Kisumu,Uhanya, Mageta, Majimbo, Odhuro, Magombe, Nyaguda, Minya, Nyasita, Kobare, Kodera Forest, Mikiria and other local churches.  From there the ministry gained momentum and many other local churches have since been established both locally and internationally.

On Saturday 29^th December 2001 at night during the second ever church convention which was held in Nyamilu Village of Suna Migori at the home of Odera, Bride of the Lamb Darlan Rukih appointed the first leaders in the ministry. The following people were appointed;

• Jacob Odanga  Chairman
• Maurice Otieno               Asst. chairman
• Chacha                              Secretary
• Gordon Odero                 Asst. secretary
• Peter Ajimba                    Organizing secretary
• Marashan Raya                Treasurer 
• Other committed leaders also took up vital roles that supported the ministry’s early development and mission.

A section of the congregation lead by Opeyo Orwa who was one of the appointees opposed the appointments on the ground that the church of Jesus Christ cannot have leaders based on the doctrines of their former church. Next morning a swarm of bees attacked all those who opposed the appointment and gathered them at the centre of the home where the convention was held. Apsosle Darlan Rukih covered them in her coats and scarf, the bees stopped stinging them but hovered over their heads. The bees finally left after Bride of the Lamb Darlan Rukih knelt down and pleaded with God to forgive them.

In April 2002 Bride of the Lamb Darlan Rukih organized a crusade and convention in Siaya town. The convention was at Awelo school while the crusade was conducted every evening at Ahindi gardens. This convention was marred with a lot of tension because people were curiously demanding miracles since there was a strong member named Okomo Arek who was seriously sick and came to die in the convention. Again, there was a great opposition from a splinter group from south Nyanza who came purposely to face off with Bride of the Lamb Darlan Rukih. There were no funds to accommodate the attendants because Owuor Abondo who was the Co-odinator for Central Nyanza declined to surrender the funds he had solicited to finance the convention. There was also a group who were wrangling for power and leadership. Opeyo Orwa wanted to be the sole preacher in the crusade while Jacob Odanga wanted to be given space perform wonders and miracles.

In December 2002 another convention was held in Katito courtesy of Wilson Ouko Owino. This convention was also marred with tension for a rebel group came to face off with Bride of the Lamb Darlan Rukih. The group led by Owuor Abondo who was the Central Nyanza coodinator and Salim Odeny who was a youth tried to disrupt the convention by protesting publicly against Bride of the Lamb Darlan Rukih claiming that she had a church registration which to them was a mark of the beast. However, at that time the ministry had not been registered. Bride of the Lamb Darlan Rukih told them that she could not say that she is not lost because God has struggled to bring the true religion on earth and He has used different people. she narrated to them a long story of the people whom God had used starting from Constantine, martin Luther, Hellen G white and other people. She told them that maybe God has spoken to them to bring a true religion if it is true that what she had was not the true religion. She encouraged them to be strong and establish the true religion and when it is established, they should come back and call her to see the true religion because that is what she has longed for the whole of her life. She told them that she was ready to join them if they eventually establish the true religion.  When they continued with the unrest they were stopped by Hubarn Abrisa. Jeran Haya exhorted the church to stay put. They walked out of the hall and no one followed them. Owuor Abondo went with all the money he had collected from central Nyanza for the convention. It was in this convention that Bride of the Lamb Darlan Rukih first allowed women to preach the gospel. The women who preached were Regina Okello and Rudia Palizan all from Mombasa.
