Summary, etc. | Abstract:This mini-thesis investigates the ministry of the Assemblies of God Movement Kwazulu-Natal (AOGM-KZN) towards pastor’s widows and their dependents.The aim of the study is to establish the current situation as it relates to pastor’s widows and following a biblical survey though focusing on particular passages of Scripture makes recommendations how the ministry to widows could possibly be improved. The mini-thesis reveals that the AOGM-KZN has some ministry in place mainly in the form of an allowance that is paid towards pastor’s widows. However, through its empirical component and theological and biblical reflection, the evidence points to the fact that the AOGM-KZN falls greatly short in terms of the Scriptural norm regarding the multi-layered form of this ministry. However, there are mitigating circumstances that prevents them from performing better. The mini-thesis made use of the LIM Model, an accepted and clearly defined research methodology. To this end the study used semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and archival records, as well as a survey of the Bible on the topic to ensure the trustworthiness and reliability of the study. The mini-thesis when interpreting and analysing the data in addition to using Scripture as its highest authority, which illuminates the biblical norm loosely used Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need Model in proposing a more holistic and inclusive approach of ministry to widows.The mini-thesis found that a lot of work lies ahead for the AOGM-KZN in living up to the scriptural ideal,this is no easy task but if the principles and reasonableness proposed in this study are followed the Movement would certainly improve on its current practice |
