dc.description.abstractOriginally, I did not intent to do a research work on Pokot until my second visit to Amakuriat Parish, Alale Division, located in Western Part of Kenya. It was December break. I was with a first year scholastic who journeyed back to where I had my first encounter with the polcot community. The journey by public transport to the mission took two days. The journey was long and difficult. However, we managed to arrive safe and sound. A few days into our stay, one of the Comboni fathers asked my companion about his stay. It was his first. His direct response caught directly my attention: "The place is quite beautiful but I have no desire to come back." He then continued: "The place is very far and the mission is tough!" His answer prompted me to reflect upon the presence of the Comboni missionaries especially in this remote area. I was bothered by a succession of questions: To whom are they witnessing? What's the content of their witness? What kind of missionary attitude do the Comboni Missionaries need today in Amakuriat mission? Are their methods of witnessing relevant to the people to whom they serve? What does it means to be witness of Christ? My questions were primarily of importance for the Comboni presence among the Polcat and the way they carry out their missionary effort in Amakuriat today. However, I will also address questions of life and identity. In chapter II, I will address the identity and the life of the Pokot in Amalcuriat on which I based my research. In chapter m, I will present the charism, identity and life of the Comboni missionaries, both the community of the priests and brothers and the community of the Comboni sisters working in that area. I will use descriptive and critical analysis applied to the kind of work in which they are engaged and their witness within the Pokot community. In chapter IV, I will examine the human witnesses in the Gospel of Luke and, how their identity and life witnessed of God's profound love in the person of Jesus Christ. In Chapter V. I will attempt to suggest new theological and missionary insights which I considers useful in the Comboni Mission, in particular the mission in Amalcuriat.en_US
