Mission and Evangelism Department: Spreading the Light of Christ in Our Communities
The Mission and Evangelism Department, operating under the Diocesan Board of Mission, serves as the driving force behind sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ throughout the Diocese. With a commitment to inspire, organize, and support evangelistic efforts, the department aims to see lives transformed as individuals accept Christ as their personal Savior and are reconciled to God.
Our Core Objective
Our mission is clear and compelling: “To proclaim the gospel of Christ as the Savior and Lord of all, calling people to accept Him personally and be reconciled to God.” This objective guides every initiative, outreach, and activity we undertake.
Evangelism Activities: Spreading the Gospel at Every Level
Evangelism in the Diocese is carried out at two main levels: Parish Level and Diocesan Level. Each plays a unique role in ensuring that the message of hope and salvation reaches as many people as possible.
1. Parish Level Evangelism:
Individual parishes, supported by their Parish Priests, take the lead in organizing local missions and outreach activities. These initiatives are tailored to the specific needs and contexts of their communities, fostering close connections and spiritual growth.
2. Diocesan Evangelism Team
The Diocese has a dedicated team of 10-15 volunteer evangelists drawn from various parishes. This team is committed to supporting parishes in carrying out larger-scale missions, rallies, and crusades. Working through invitations from willing parishes, the team schedules a yearly program that aligns with the needs of the communities. Over the years, these missions have seen considerable success, with many coming to Christ and experiencing the transforming power of the gospel.
Strategic Partnerships: Amplifying Our Impact
The Diocese has been blessed by a fruitful partnership with the Africa Anglican Mission. This partnership has equipped us with essential resources, including a tent and a ‘Jesus Film’ kit, which are used extensively during parish missions. The portable tent allows us to host large gatherings in various locations, while the film, depicting the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, has proven to be a powerful tool for evangelism and discipleship.
Looking Forward: A Call to Join Us in Mission
As we continue to grow and expand our evangelistic outreach, we invite all believers to partner with us in this life-changing work. Whether through prayer, volunteering, or supporting mission activities, there are many ways to be involved. Together, we can ensure that the light of Christ reaches every corner of our Diocese, bringing hope, healing, and reconciliation to all.
