Developing spiritual revival and discipleship program to uplift the spiritual standards of Bamburi great news church members

Abstract

The study sought to develop a spiritual revival and discipleship program to uplift the spiritual standards of Bamburi Great News Church members. The study adopted a mixed method. Data was collected by means of random sampling. 10 people were interviewed on the topic. Among them were 2 youths, 3 elderly men, and 5 women. Questionnaires were also used to corroborate the findings of the interviews. Several members with email addresses were sent questionnaires, while others were given directly to the respondents on a particular Sabbath. There were 17 electronic respondents and 25 verbal respondents then; the rest were hard copy respondence Totalling 148 people. The result of this program is that it has proved successful and, if implemented, can benefit other churches that would like to grow and revive spiritually. It resulted in reaching out evangelism to neighbours and an increase in membership. They have a strong culture of Bible study, intercessory prayers, intermediation, and fasting. Members have been acquainted with the 28 Fundamental Beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and are now well established in the church and its mission. As a result, there is a deeper renewal of commitment to God. Intercessory prayers should be encouraged at all levels of the church’s activities. Additionally, Bible study should be encouraged at all program levels in the church. Also, there should be regular seminars held in the church to keep a reminder to believers of their weak points in faith.
