Recorded on 28 November 2024 for ICMDA Webinars. Howard Lyons chairs a webinar with Dr Alex Bolek ICMDA has eight strategic priorities. Two of these priorities are: ‘Establishing new movements' and ‘Strengthening existing movements.' This is comparable to the small church fellowships established in different regions mentioned in the Book of Acts: “Then the church(es) throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. It was strengthened; and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord” (Acts 9:31). In this Scripture we see that the churches were first started, then strengthened and multiplied. In this webinar, we will share some steps on establishing and strengthening new movements and what the outcome are when a fellowship is strengthened. Brother Alex studied medicine at the University of Oradea in Romania and has a Masters in Public and Tropical Health. He has worked as a GP and Medical Director in Khartoum, Sudan, and also for JHPIEGO and other international NGOs. He is the chairman of the CMDA in South Sudan, is the Africa Coordinator for ICMDA, and is the ICMDA Regional Secretary for East Africa.
