    A program for empowering pastors and local church leaders in Nekemte District to develop effective discipleship strategies for their churches
    (Adventist University of Africa, 2024-10) Daka, Geremew Biru
    The study assessed discipleship practices in Nekemte District churches, identifying challenges, providing training, and enhancing accountability among pastors. It aimed to offer tools for monitoring and evaluating initiatives, fostering mutual support in discipleship efforts. Using a multiphase methodology, the study involved identifying problems, analyzing the target population, and developing a discipleship plan. Data collection included questionnaires to assess congregation awareness and expectations, with effectiveness evaluated through pre- and post-intervention questionnaires. While college degrees are not a must to be a disciple, promoting gender diversity and discipleship growth is essential. Notably, 75% expressed eagerness to learn new techniques, and 25% were aware of local training resources. Churches should implement structured plans to foster diverse leadership and ongoing training.
