Welcome to Imara Ministry Foundation

Leadership and Evangelism Goals

LEADERSHIP

The goal of the leadership department is to strengthen the church through seminars. They focus on 4 areas during their seminars. They teach about unity, emphasize discipleship, encourage pastors through prayer, and solve conflicts through denominations.

There are four staff members at IMARA that work within the leadership department: Mike Rothery, Gidori, Jonas, and Ellie Yoko. They empower the local pastors by having them form committees to organize seminars and give feedback about what the teachings should include. The leadership team offers at least one seminar per month

EVANGELISM

The Evangelism department is spreading the Word of God throughout Tanzania like a wild fire. They are committed to share the gospel of Christ through evangelism crusades and the showing of the Jesus Film. The evangelism crew hosts approximately 36 crusades per year. Their hearts are filled with joy when they see people get saved and delivered from a life of sin. They often go back to the churches to follow up on the crusades and often send the leadership department to the same area to host a seminar to promote Spiritual growth.

The Evangelism Departments permanent staff are Stanley and Matthew. We also have volunteers who work with us. They are Alex, Elirehema, and Pendaelli
