Essay on Social Ministries in Nigeria
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
One of the lapses of pastoral theology worldwide is the ability to practically demonstrate evangelism in the manner Jesus did during his time. Jesus’ system of evangelization was in two dimensions, vis social ministry and spiritual or religious ministry. In the social ministry, he demonstrated the necessity of taking care of the corporal needs of persons Mat 14 13 – 21, 15 29 – 39 . And in the spiritual, he emphasized, above all, the greater necessity of caring for the soul which is more like unto God. This research, as part of a curriculum requirement for the award of PhD Degree in Theology, of the Atlantic International University, Honolulu, is a survey of the situation of Social Ministry in Nigeria carried out to examine the involvement of pastoral ministers in providing material and life sustaining needs to the poor among the children of God in Nigeria. There is serious hunger and poverty among the citizens of Nigeria today, people are dying of malnutrition and all kinds of sicknesses associated with hunger and poverty. And these suffering people are mostly members of our churches and ministries, how the church attends to their holistic needs in order to accommodate their spirit, soul and body as an entity God is interested in is another question. It is therefore hopeful that this survey and its recommendations would help those in the pastoral ministry to be more proactive in the work of evangelization in Nigeria and beyond. We shall use Anambra State of Nigeria as a Locale for our study.
