As the evening settles and rush hour peaks, a vibrant group of young people gather near the junction of Kenyatta Avenue and Gussi Road.
The group, led by Gospel Artist Faith Nduhiu, set up their equipment and start with prayers before beginning to sing worship songs.
Their voices rise above the urban noise as they sing challenging the stereotype that sharing the gospel is a preserve of the older generation.
During a phone interview with Ms Nduhiu, she tells Mtaa Wangu that the gathering was the inaugural street worship event.
"My friends Martin Kimani, Vitalis John, Enos Baraka, and I had the idea of having a Worship cafe but everyone was doing it and we decided to start street worship," she shares.
She notes that the street worship events will be beyond their public performances, as they will seek to engage in one-on-one evangelism, sharing personal stories and the message of faith.
"Street evangelism allows us to gain more souls to the Kingdom of God while we bring the gospel closer to people because we live in a busy world where everyone is caught up in their errands and often doesn't have time to attend church or lunch hour services," she says
Ms. Nduhiu notes that the approval to have the event was part of the initiative by the Nakuru City Board to have Nakuru subscribe to its mandate of being a creative UNESCO city.
The street worship events will be happening every Tuesday evening.
