The title of my research is, ‘An African model of doing church ministry among marginalized communities (A case study of Chiadzwa community, Marange district in Manicaland province, Zimbabwe: Luke 4: 14-30; James 2:14-26).’
The research intends to explore a new African model of doing Church ministry among the marginalized people in Chiadzwa community, Zimbabwe. It also aims to investigate what The United Methodist Church (UMCZ) has been doing and the model it has been using to address the needs of the Chiadzwa Bloody Diamond Rush survivors, to explore an African practical pastoral care model which can change the way The UMCZ works in Chiadzwa community, and add to the existing body of knowledge.
