Summary, etc. | This research was written to investigate the impact of witchcraft in the Friends Church. The research aimed to make a theological contribution in fashioning an understanding on the phenomenon of witchcraft in the Church today. The study conducted was to help raise the need for developing discipleship materials for the newly born again believers in the Friends Church and to fortify laid down strategies for evangelism in meeting the needs of the church members. This was done by; identifying the challenges of ministering to those who practice witchcraft, understanding the current approaches of Luhya pastors in the Friends church towards witchcraft, and to propose a biblical model of discipleship for new converts in the church. The research argues that witchcraft is a real phenomenon facing the church and must be dealt with through discussion within the framework of the African theodicy. People who resort to witchcraft have genuine concerns. Therefore, these concerns should be addressed by the church in light of the Word of God.The target population of interest was 210 Church members. Simple random sampling techniques were used to select sample size representing 60% of the target population. Questionnaires were sent to 132 <br/> members where the actual response rate was determined. The actual responses rate was obtained from the respondents in three population categories namely the top level (pastors), adult members and the youths. Data was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively and presented in form of tables.Interviews for the elderly were also conducted to get a balance view of the data obtained. Secondary data involved the review of both the published and unpublished materials.The findings reveal that witchcraft is still a prevalent problem in the church that needs to be addressed theologically. It also reveals that there are inadequate discipleship materials that are used to disciple new converts within the Friends church. |
