ABSTRACT DEVELOPING RELATIONAL COMMUNITIES: AN EVANGELISTIC APPROACH TO NON-ADVENTIST STUDENTS AT SOLUSI UNIVERSITY by Herbert Ndlovu Adviser: David Penno ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Project Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: DEVELOPING RELATIONAL COMMUNITIES: AN EVANGELISTIC APPROACH TO NON-ADVENTIST STUDENTS AT SOLUSI UNIVERSITY Name of researcher: Herbert Ndlovu Name and degree of faculty adviser: David Penno, Ph.D. Date completed: August 2010 Problem The purpose of this study was to determine how healthy relational communities contribute to membership growth and the retention of non-Adventist students at Solusi University. Some of the effects of current public evangelistic approaches and the loss of community spirit were studied. The challenge of nurturing a community of meaning and relationship at Solusi was also explored. Method A self-reported questionnaire was completed by both Adventist and non- Adventist students. In order to verify the results of the self-reported questionnaire, interviews were conducted with the church leadership, 10 church members, and 20 second and third year students. Results Analysis of the results showed that a relational evangelistic approach had a greater positive influence on students, was considered more attractive, and had better retention factors. It was found that marked differences existed in questionnaire scores between a relational evangelistic approach and a public evangelistic approach. In order to clarify this finding, another issue concerning student response to certain values was examined. Significant differences were found between caring for one another, preaching, diversity, and the remaining values. The analysis of One Anothemess practices also showed that Solusi students tended to value relationships related to small relational groups, relationship leadership style, and small relational worship centers. Conclusions Failure to recognize the power of relational evangelistic approach in reaching non-Adventist peers at Solusi has contributed to minimal success in penetrating religious barriers. Evidence supported the conclusion that community and relational communities were effective ways of sharing the gospel, which follows a biblical mode.

  • To Download the Bulletin
    Rusangu University GRADUATE STUDIES BULLETIN PUBLISHED BY SCHOOL OF POSTGRADUATE STUDIES, PROFESSIONAL GROWTH & RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT 2017 — 2021 1 FOREWORD A bulletin is an authoritative source of information for an outsider who desires to know more about an institution and its programmes. It is a reference document, which students and staff alike must consult in order to be properly informed on a particular programme. Ideally, therefore, a bulletin should contain up-to-date information on the curriculum and the enabling regulations. This means that a bulletin should be revised regularly to take care of recent advances in knowledge in the various disciplines and periodic changes in regulations. In this regard, I am pleased to note that the leadership of the School of Graduate Studies, Professional Growth and Research Development has come up with an academic structure guiding our Postgraduate Studies Programmes. The production of this current edition of the Graduate Studies Bulletin, is evident enough to show that the School has endeavored to successfully execute its mandate in furtherance of its goals. With the publication of this bulletin, postgraduate students and faculty no longer have any ground to claim ignorance of the regulations and curricula of their respective programmes. This is more so as the regulations, curricula, and guidelines are now in one single volume. The comprehensive nature of the publication will no doubt also facilitate the work of Postgraduate Studies, Professional Growth and Research Development Committee and other University organs, which are charged with formulation, and or execution of policies and regulations on postgraduate studies. The School will therefore continue to review this bulletin for an improved version of the next edition.

  • 1 Combating Syncretism in Contemporary Seventh-Day
    COMBATING SYNCRETISM IN CONTEMPORARY SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH THROUGH ENLIGHTENED MINISTRY Paper Presented at the 3rd International Conference on THE FUTURE OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN AFRICA By Philemon O. Amanze, Babcock University Felix Njini, Solusi University, Zimbabwe Josephat Hamoonga, Solusi University, Zimbabwe Justino Paulo, Solusi University, Zimbabwe August 24 – 26, 2015 1 Abstract COMBATING SYNCRETISM IN CONTEMPORARY SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH THROUGH ENLIGHTENED MINISTRY This research paper revealed that the Seventh-day Adventist Church is faced with the challenge of syncretism especially in Africa. A combined narrative and case study approach were used in the study. In order to establish a conceptual framework of the study a review of relevant literature was done. The research delved into establishing a conceptual framework of syncretism within the church in an African context. It proceeded to explore the biblical perspective of combating syncretism. The African traditional worldview was found to be the guiding compass of many professed church members. On the other hand the biblical perspective of combating syncretism was explored, and suggestions made to church leadership on Bible based methods of combating syncretism. The research revealed that the visible manifestation of syncretism is multifaceted and largely motivated by the presence of unfulfilled felt needs of the church members. The need to maintain community solidarity and inability to withstand life’s challenges were highlighted as the main contributors to syncretic practices. A paradigm shift of doing evangelism where the focus is on winning families and strengthening nurturing strategies were also brought into perspective. It was discovered that new church members as well as old ones need to be grounded in biblical truth through a comprehensive teaching ministry that focuses on areas that address the traditional African worldview.
