Exploration of tithing challenges: A case of Wamaza District of Maniema Mission, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Abstract

The goal of this study was to discover the reasons that affect tithing. This study was done in two ways; first the interview to the members to know the reasons that affect tithing, and, then, the implementation of strategies to stop the causes and to increase tithes. Before this study, the situation was lamentable which formed the problem this study addressed. After the study, the situation has changed according to the results, which are found in chapter four. If the members practice all the strategies learned during the seminars, and follow all the advice that has been given, we have reason to believe that the situation prevailing in this district will not remain as is, necessarily there will be a change. So, if the Congolese government is thinking of locating the province of Maniema with other provinces, it will allow the population to wander well in their activities because after carrying out an evaluation of the program implemented, the number of donors has increased markedly as well as the rate of fidelity. If the program application extends to other Adventist Churches in other districts, we believe there will be encouraging results.
