Mission priorities
The areas of our vision for the next 5 years where external financial support can continue to have the greatest impact are below.
For more detailed information please go to the overview of the diocese of Goma.
Evangelism – Our vision over the next 5 years is to plant at least 50 new churches across the diocese. And we’ve made a great start. Funding can help with training evangelists, evangelism campaigns, buying land and building churches.
Buying land and building churches – As we renovate old church buildings and build new ones, our vision is that every parish has its own land (and legal documents), church building and a pastor’s house. The diocese acquires the land (anywhere between a couple of goats and £15,000 depending on location) and the local believers to lay the foundations, to build the walls and provide the furniture. The Diocese then helps them with the roof which costs between £1500 and £2000.
Training – For various reasons such as poor education, hurried ordinations or simply lack of resources - we have an urgent need of training and retraining our clergy and staff in a number of priority areas: preaching, parish management, chaplaincy, conflict-resolution, Sunday school ministry, marriage and resource-mobilisation.
Books and Bibles – we have the aim of massively increasing the number of believers in our churches who have their own Bibles and prayer books, as well as continuing to provide all theology students with a bundle of essential books when they graduate.
Thank you!
