THE APOSTOLIC FAITH MISSION OF SA DIE APOSTOLIESE GELOOFSENDING VAN SA
Newsflash | 1 September 2017 Dear Colleagues, BIBLE READING PRACTICES IN THE AFM How important is the Bible in the lives of Pentecostal believers? How frequently do they read the Bible and what role does the Bible play in their daily lives? The Education and Training Department of the AFM decided to do empirical research across the country, representative of all our assemblies, to investigate how and why our members read the Bible. A questionnaire was utilised in the analysis and the demographic realities of South Africa were reflected in the data collection. The most important results of the study is summarised by Professor Marius Nel (Chair, Ecumene: Pentecostalism & Neo-Pentecostalism at the North-West University) in the article below: http://www.afm-ags.org/pastoral-communication I also encourage you to perhaps consider repeating this research in your own assembly. The specific questionnaire that was used can also be downloaded: http://www.afm-ags.org/pastoral-communication 1.
