Cover of Mwandani wa BIBLIA

Keeping focused, week after week, studying and teaching from the Bible, is a challenge for pastors, teachers, evangelists, and other Christian leaders of all denominations. The Bible discusses in depth the important theological topics, but the information is spread out from Genesis through Obadiah to John’s Revelation. Have you been troubled bringing all these teachings together in an orderly fashion, under known theological headings and subheadings? If you have, this book will be a great resource for you.

Tens of thousands of pastors are using Mwandani wa BIBLIA (as part of World MAP’s The Shepherd’s Staff). Kahawa Media has now published this 160-page book under separate cover for those who do not qualify for the free larger book.

In Mwandani wa BIBLIA, you will find hundreds of key, non-denominational teaching passages and many other supportive scriptures related to each important theological topic: the Bible, God, Spiritual Beings, Sin, Salvation, the Church, Spiritual Growth, Death and End-times, and other topics. This resource gives you outlines and Scripture references for many hundreds of core Biblical teachings about our common Christian Faith.

Biblia Katika Vitendo includes over 200 fast-paced narratives in chronological order, making it easy to follow the Bible's historical flow - and reinforcing the buildup to its thrilling climax.

The stories in Biblia Katika Vitendo communicate biblical truth clearly and forcefully to children and new Christians. This compelling blend of clear writing plus dramatic images offers an appeal that crosses all age boundaries. We provide this resource free-of-charge to Sunday school teachers, Bible study leaders, and discipleship group facilitators.

The International School of Ministry™ (ISOM) is a church-based DVD video training program. It was developed to assist pastors as they disciple and equip Christians to be laborers in the end-time harvest. The 160 lessons included in the curriculum have the potential to bring great blessing and growth in your church and transform the lives of those you are training.

The ISOM materials are available in many different languages. In Central and East Africa, there are schools studying in English, Swahili, and French. In many different places, in different cultures, in cities and in villages, the many existing schools demonstrate the ongoing effectiveness of this ministry in discipling church leaders.

The objective of ISOM is to provide training and discipleship for leaders and all believers. ISOM is NOT a denomination. ISOM does NOT credential pastors nor guarantee pastoral appointment. ISOM is only a discipleship tool to be used to further the Kingdom of God within each local church. ISOM encourages pastors who are leading loca ISOM groups to include their own teaching alongside, or in addition to, the courses delivered via DVD.

Wewe Nami:

Wewe Nami (You and Me) is a 48-lesson Sunday school curriculum using 24 videos. Each video (used for two consecutive lessons) features a puppet called Mwanangu and Shangazi, his neighbour (who is not a puppet). Like all of us Mwanangu has problems dealing with emotions. With Shangazi’s help and the help of an Old Testament “Joseph” puppet, Mwanangu learns to identify and control his emotions and to consider other people’s emotions as well.

The Bible-based curriculum is written with 8-year-olds in mind but has already been enjoyed by people from 4 to 40. The curriculum can be used with higher age groups without the videos, using the teaching points and the Bible references.

Njia Njema:

Njia Njema is series of Swahili puppet videos for children of all ages. It teaches life lessons that we can learn from the Bible using different puppets.

Njia Njema can be used in Sunday Schools, kids camps, at home, and wherever children are gathered. The shows are exciting, educational and evangelistic.

Nipe Jibu is a full-feature Swahili musical movie about an orphan girl in modern Africa. Ndoto is torn between her employer, a grandma who fears the anger of the spirits of the ancestors, and her friends who encourage her to trust in the one true God. Battling the grandma’s belief that she has no choice, Ndoto learns that she can, and must, make good decisions every day. She struggles with the choice—obey the spirits because of fear or submit to Jesus Christ and gain his protection and freedom. With a cast of 150 Africans and a story written in Swahili and filmed in East Africa, Nipe Jibu is truly a product of Africa. Citizens of 14 nations poured themselves into the creation of this film.

 

In the book, Si Wawili Tena, young Neema and her pastor husband David have relational issues. Poor communication skills have not allowed them to use their love for each other to effectively deal with typical issues in marriage. How should they leave parents they love and cleave to each other? What is the importance of children in a marriage? How can husband and wife dig out and remove the root of bitterness from their relationship?

As you read this book, you will accompany David and Neema through a Bible-based marriage seminar where solution to these and other issues are taught and where confession and forgiveness are released. At the end of Si Wawili Tena you will be delighted to see how David handles Babu’s traditional scorn when he sees David, rather than Neema holding their baby.!

For more than 20 years, Pamoja Ministries has been deploying media in East Africa, and the growth over the last few years has been staggering (to the point where we have felt overwhelmed at times), but it has all led us directly to this point, and we are confident that we know what God is calling us to pursue.
