An award moment becomes a holy pause as Nancy reflects on winning ACABA’s Family and Marriage category. With gratitude, disbelief, joy, and deep surrender, her story reveals how God turns personal testimony into a vessel of hope.
Travelling over 2,300 kilometres from Botswana to Kenya is more than a physical journey—it is an act of faith. When Dr. Onkeme, a publisher-author of over 40 books, stepped out in obedience to attend the ACABA Gala, he carried expectation, prayer, and trust in God. His emotional win for Fire in the Pulpit reminds us that God honours long obedience in the same direction, turning small faithful steps into moments that echo in eternity.

There is a Kikuyu proverb that says, “Do not curse the day before it ends.” Jemimah’s journey at the 5th African Christian Authors Book Award (ACABA) Gala brought this wisdom to life. From submitting her first book in 2022 without winning, to faithfully writing again and celebrating others, her moment finally arrived when her devotional for expectant mothers was honoured as Content of the Year. This is a story of obedience, patience, quiet faith—and the God who finishes His work before the day is done.
As part of the award, Titus Otieno received a Kes 10,000 Printing Voucher, generously sponsored by Christian Literature Communications – CLC Kenya – Print on Demand, to support continued publishing and distribution of quality Christian literature.
