The heart of Samaria Mission is the Church Development/Discipleship ministry. This ministry focuses on teaching and discipling the pastors and leaders of village churches with the goal of establishing a “God-glorifying church” that can minister to the community. We are teaching very rural pastors and church leaders, who have had little and some no education. We are currently using the "Chronological teaching, Firm Foundations" and "Fundamentals of the Faith", which we have translated into the mother tongue, Xitsonga. This curriculum is used to help ground them in their faith and equip them to shepherd their people and in turn reach others for Christ.
Our goal through the Church Development ministry includes developing and training church members to be able to adequately share the gospel and lead men’s, women’s and children’s ministry. Currently Samaria Mission has two teams that travel to two different villages in Mozambique each month for leadership training. During this time we are able to come alongside church leaders, both men and women, to teach them the truths of God’s word and encourage them to remain steadfast in their service to the Lord.
