Student Outreaches Encourage

Congregations, Train Students

Student outreaches have long been a highlight of the evangelistic efforts at Namwianga Mission.

Teams of high school and college students go out on weekends to preach, teach and encourage nearby congregations. The congregations welcome the students and enjoy their enthusiasm. The outreach groups give the congregational leaders a break since the tradition is that the visiting students take over and lead singing, preach, serve communion and teach the Sunday school classes. Singing groups present a program in song after the morning service ends.

Students receive many benefits from their outreach participation. They gain practical experience and learn about different people and places. They also are motivated to study and prepare lessons and sermons. And congregations are encouraged and strengthened by their interactions with the young people.
