TRAINING PROGRAM FOR ATEBUBU-BANTAMA MEDICAL EVANGELISM

Pastor Stephen Ferguson Zawi

Lead Facilitator of the Training program for the Atebubu-Bantama Medical Missions/Evangelism

A one-day training session has been organised by the Christian Missions Resource Foundation (CMRF) in preparation for the Atebubu-Bantama medical evangelistic activity. The training which was held on November 12, 2022, was available to participants virtually. The goal was to provide a refresher course for current members and introduce prospective members to The CMRF Model of medical missions/evangelism.

The Atebubu-Bantama medical evangelistic exercise, starting from Wednesday 16th to Friday 18th of November 2022, is a joint effort by the Covenant Family Community Church (CFCC), Christian Medical Missions Resource Foundation (CMRF), and the Atebubu-Bantama Local Council of Churches.

It was initiated in response to a request by the Chief and people of Bantama to see some relief work brought to the town. The mission's goal is to respond to this need by first offering medical assistance, and doing additional feasibility studies to determine other alternative forms of assistance that may be offered. This will enable the required resource to be be raised to meet the identified need.

The training manual

In order to keep members informed about the why, when, how, and where of this specific activity, the training programme was set up. Pastor Stephen Ferguson Zawi, the training's facilitator, spent time emphasising how important it is for team members to get to know one another. The CMRF Model of medical evangelism, the new training manual that was launched this year was used in the training.

Sixteen (16) participants benefited from the training. The training was a great success. It is hoped that the mission in Atebubu-Bantama will be successful and beneficiaries will be blesssed.
