    (2014-05-09) Acur-Okodi, Alfred
    This is a study into the factors inhibiting the sending out of missionaries among Alebtong Churches in the Anglican Province of the Church of Uganda. The purpose of the study is to identify such factors and how they can be rectified. Literature related to the following subjects are reviewed in the study; (i) The needs in the mission fields. (ii) World missions and the local church. (iii) Financing missions. (iv) Leadership needs and Human Resource requirements. (v) Other ways of being involved in world missions. The population of the study consisted of all the sixty leaders of the twelve churches that make Alebtong churches and fifty church members from three of the twelve churches selected by a stratified random sampling method. The members of the population of the study were subjected to two questionnaires and an oral interview all of which were managed in a face to face situation. The results of the findings which were directly answering the research questions are recorded in Tables in Chapter Four. The findings of this study would surprise the leaders of the churches as it has surprised the researcher. The researcher went into the study with a presupposition that the factor inhibiting the sending out of missionaries among Alebtong churches is financial.This was also confirmed by the opinion of the leaders. But ccritical analyses of the findings reveal that the major factor inhibiting the sending out of missionaries among the churches i slack of visionary leadership. Recommendations for what can be done and for other areas of studies that can throw more light on the problem is made in Chapter Five.
