With the growing interest in the Gospel in Tanzania on the one side, and the lack of trained pastors on the other side, the schooling of lay evangelists has become a top priority for the Tanzania Union of the SDA Church. To help in this endeavor, Kibidula started its School of Evangelism Training Program in December 2000. Since then, the school has trained an average of 50-60 students per year. We have had students from all over Tanzania, and some came from as far as Kenya and Congo.

The program consists of a 4-month course in Bible, Evangelism, Health and Agriculture which we run twice a year. It is designed as a work-study program that has a field experience component. Currently we have incorporated health evangelism and nutrition programs which have drawn a lot of attention. With the fact that people need good physical health, which will lead to good spiritual health, we have started to pursue these lines. With the help of Riverside Farm Institute (Zambia) and LIGHT (Lay Institute for Global Health Training, USA) we have taken the initial steps. We have completed 5 sessions of health meetings in our area in early 2011. We plan to work together with LIGHT for more health evangelism in each of our sessions and to then conduct public Health Meetings with our students.

Special needs:
- Funding for Mobile training (bring short-term training of lay people to different parts of Tanzania)
- Materials (brochures, tracts, magazines related to Health meetings)
