What we found
We searched for "Deliverance Church International Cyprus" in Kitale and found no page, directory entry, map listing or news item using that exact branch name. We did confirm that the wider denomination is real and active in the area: Deliverance Church Kitale has an active Facebook presence and a long history, having begun in 1988 with a handful of people and grown to around 1,700 by 2005, and a Kitale listing appears on BusinessList Kenya, though it is marked as an unverified listing. The parent body is well documented, with Bishop Dr. Mark Kariuki serving as General Overseer of Deliverance Church International (dcidiaspora.com), but no register we saw lists a Cyprus congregation in Kitale. Warning: the contact address is a free personal Gmail account and the branch name is unverified online, although we found no scam or fraud complaints. Small Kitale branches often have no separate web footprint.
Our conclusion: Deliverance Church International is a well documented Kenyan denomination led by Bishop Dr. Mark Kariuki, and Deliverance Church has a long established and active presence in Kitale, so a local branch in that town is entirely plausible. The specific branch name "Cyprus" does not appear in any online directory or map listing, which is normal for small estate-level congregations in Kenya that share the denomination's main web presence.
