Abstract:
Life Challenge Africa is a resource and development centre that promotes
Muslim discipleship programs for MBBs. It has been in operation for the last thirty
one years.
This research sought to evaluate the effectiveness of the methods which Life
Challenge Africa uses in its discipleship programs of MBBs and its implications to
mission work. The researcher interviewed nine leaders and nine disciples with
Muslim background context who were his main source of information for this work.
The research designed from research question which guided him in his research for
this study. The scales of 1-5 where one represents the most effective method and five
represents the least ineffective method were used to determine the effectiveness of the
methods.
It was found out from the result that individual discipleship, bible study and
listening to bible stories were methods which were highly valued and this showed that
they were highly favored by both the MBBs and the disciplers in L.C.A. But still
there were challenges which came out clearly from the respondents. The challenges
include limited numbers Of disciples, lack of training materials and poor attendances
were pointed out.
Therefore, the research showed that L.C.A. need to give more attention on
meeting the need of more disciples, finances to buy more materials and encourage the
disciples to improve on their class attendance. It should also maintain the spirit of
disciplining of MBBs, if we need the MBBs to be established in the Christian truth
and also become disciplers of the same.
