    (2014-05-08) Odhiambo, Susan
    This study was an evaluation of the programs of Kenya Assemblies of God Women's Ministry (KAGWM) in relation to relevance with the ministry's objectives and the needs of the women represented. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the relevance of the programs offered by KAGWM with its objectives and the needs of the women. The objectives of the study are: to establish how the programs offered by the KAGWM assist the women in meeting their ministry objectives; to determine how the programs of KAGWM relate to the needs of the women and to realize how the programs equip women to become mature Christians. The findings and recommendation of this study will serve as a guide to the KAGWM leaders in evaluating how their programs are related to the objectives of the ministry. Qualitative research paradigm is used in this evaluation since it required the aspect of describing how the program imparts the members. The researcher used purposeful sampling in selecting the interviewees. The reason for purposeful sampling was to get women who were actively involved and would give useful information. The instruments used were interview guides that had open-ended questions as seen in appendix I and 2. In order to develop the instrument the researcher considered the objectives of the study. The findings revealed that the programs ofKAGWM were formulated to attain the ministries objectives. No ministry objective was left without a channel in order to be realized. The finding also viewed that the needs of the single ladies were not being considered. In view of the above aspects, the leaders of the KAGWM should re-examine the objectives of the ministry to see if they can come up with some that can help build the morale of the women. The KAGWM leaders need to formulate a program that specifically deals with the needs of the single ladies in order to have all the needs of the women met. The leadership ofKAGWM should have a representative from all the groups.
