TEE - Equipping the Saints

~ Reverend Charles Bameka, director of Lutheran Media Ministry Uganda, leads Equipping the Saints workshop ~ The Theological Education for Evangelism (TEE) program this year is focusing on evangelism, outreach, and preaching. Since the Lutheran Church Mission in Uganda has ties with the Lutheran Hour Ministries project here, known as Lutheran Media Ministry Uganda (LMMU), we often find ourselves at the LMMU office or accompanying LMMU representatives to different parts of the country. One of the programs offered by LMMU is "Equipping the Saints."

Lutheran Hour Ministries explains the Equipping the Saints program:

[Equipping the Saints] workshops concentrate on the believer’s privilege to speak the Gospel, express the impact of Christ in life, seek understanding of the lost, and connect new people into the church family. Biblical models are discussed in the context of our everyday relationships and encounters. You’ll receive practical insights for sharing your faith daily. Bible-based and interactive, the workshop combines training by [the] presenter with large and small group discussion.

~ Some students received LMMU certificates ~ Although many of our students have attended Equipping the Saints training in their home regions of Uganda, we believed they would benefit from attending again all together. My hope was that with the training they have received in TEE they would be able to be more discerning and dig deeper into the Equipping the Saints presentation, which it seems is exactly what happened. Pastor Charles Bameka, the director of LMMU, presented the workshop with two of his staff, Alex and Audrey. A few of our students who had not previously attended Equipping the Saints were happy to receive certificates from the LMMU recognizing their participation. Thank you, Lutheran Media Ministry Uganda for sharing your insights and excitement with us through the Equipping the Saints training! -Shauen
