Kiuna’s death
Kiuna succumbed to cancer on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, at a hospital in Nairobi after a long battle.
In 2019, the general overseer shared with the public his battle with cancer stating that he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma cancer which occurs when there are abnormal plasma cells that build up in the bone marrow and form tumours in many bones of the body.

The church described him as an extraordinary man who touched the lives of many through his passion for ministering not just locally but globally.
“Bishop Allan Kiuna, the general overseer and founder of Jubilee Christian Church was an extraordinary man who touched the lives of many and had a great passion for ministering not just locally but globally,” JCC described.
