Department of Mission & Evangelism

The aim of the department is to carry out programmes and activities on mission, evangelism, stewardship and Christian education. It works together with district and parish pastors, evangelists and sisters. The department conducts seminars, workshops and is responsible for the dialogue between KAD and other denominations and religions.

Every month the department collects reports on mission, evangelism and stewardship from all parishes. If there are no other major activities of evangelism, every pastor has to submit one copy of a sermon among those that he/she has preached in a month.

The department conducted four seminars on stewardship in Ihembe, Mabira, Kyerwa, Murongo, and Lukajange Districts. The aim of these seminars was to encourage the work of the church members. Time was also set aside for sharing of one’s problems, questions about the work and spiritual sharing.It also conducted one seminar for all pastors with the aim of teaching them about Holy Spirit and the challenges of pentecostalism. Apart from that, the evangelists from Lukajange, Ihembe, Murongo and Bweranyange districts attended the one month seminar in order to strengthen their preaching methods.
