In the Seventh-day Adventist Church, evangelistic work is conducted through several methods, including public evangelism, educational outreach, assistance to the needy, and health-focused evangelism, which emphasizes life and wellness. This approach aligns with the teachings of Christ, particularly given that many of the miracles He performed were aimed at saving lives. An illustrative example can be found in John 11:6-11, where He offers comfort to the blind.
Seventh-day Adventists emphasize the importance of preventing disease rather than only focusing on health when illness occurs. In line with this belief, the Bukamba District, in collaboration with GS Maya II School, Rugarama Health Center, and the Blood Donation Center in the Musanze District, organized a week dedicated to health. The theme of the event was “Good Health is God’s Gift; Take Care of It.”
This health week, which began on January 12, 2025, featured various talks focused on health, well-being, and food self-sufficiency. Additionally, it provided support to 100 individuals with health insurance.
On January 19, 2025, a closing event was held, which included a walk to encourage people to take care of their health. During this event, 81 people were tested for non-communicable diseases, and 37 people donated blood to save those in need.
Both the participants in the discussions and the individuals who benefited from the health services reported a high level of satisfaction with the events and initiatives. Participants appreciated the valuable insights shared during the talks, while those who received health services found the care and support provided to be valuable. In light of this positive feedback, the leaders have made a strategic decision to continue their evangelization efforts. They plan to implement a diverse range of methods, ensuring that they do not depend solely on one particular approach. This flexibility will help them navigate any potential challenges that may arise in their mission, allowing them to adapt and respond to the needs of the community more effectively.
