Recognising the need for community involvement in transformation of their lives using the available God-given resources, the Church of God in East Africa (COG) has commenced the Church and Community Mobilisation Process (CCMP), with an envisioning session of a section of its leadership and clergy led by the head of church, Most Rev James Obunde.
The envisioning session on CCMP was held at Kima International College of Theology yesterday, 4th February 2022.
Speaking during the session, Most Rev Obunde mentioned that to achieve the goal of sustainability in the church and community, CCMP will be the beginning of that journey.
“Let us own the programme, for our own benefit, and for that of the community”, Most Rev Obunde noted, adding that the church leadership is in full support of the process. The church has organised a full day to expound on the implementation of CCMP with the top leadership of the church from across the country. This will also be the official launch of the process in the church and is scheduled for the 27th May, 2022.
The leaders were taken through the process of envisioning CCMP in the church through a discussion of the question “how do we invest in the God-given resources that we have as a church and as a community?”
The NCCK Programmes Director, Susie Ibutu, appreciated the commitment of the leadership of COG to the implementation of CCMP, indicating that the programme is a key priority for the NCCK. She explained that NCCK is committed to accompanying the member churches implementing the CCMP by financing the training costs.
The Church and Community Mobilisation Process (CCMP) is a programme that seeks to awaken the church as God’s instrument for human transformation. It promotes transformation and empowerment of the people by enabling them to go through a series of Bible Studies that enable them address their needs with their God-given resources.
