    Early Methods of Evangelization by Spiritans In East Africa (Christian Villages and Education)
    (Tangaza University College, 1999-02) Msilanga, Vedastus Babu
    This work, thus, is divided into three main chapters. The first chapter gives a glimpse of the identity of the Spiritans and a historical background of the congregation at large. Chapter two deals with the people of Bagamoyo, their culture, religion, the impact of slave trade and the contact between Christian and Islamic cultures. The third chapter covers the two methods of evangelization and the critique of the methods. The methods were the creation of the Christian Freedom Villages and Education. The Spiritans moved in Bagamoyo taking these methods as an answer to the need of the time; Slaves were set free but they had no where to go and had no one to care for them. Spiritans work with the marginalized of the society. (SRL 40) The ex-slaves were the marginalized of the time. The conclusion focuses on my personal comments on the Spiritan understanding of mission today. Spiritans in Bagamoyo participated and still participate in the work of the Church on earth. She is missionary by her very nature, for according to the plan of the Father, the church has her origin in the mission of the Son and the Holy Spirit (LG. 1). Thus, the Spiritan missionary zeal of living the gospel message, echoes Isaiah's words "the sovereign Lord has filled me with his Spirit, lie has chosen me and sent me to bring good news to the poor, to heal the broken-hearted, to announce release to the captives and freedom to those in prison.. .to proclaim a year of favour from the Lord." (Is.61:1-2) But, did the methods of evangelization by Spiritans in Bagamoyo bring the good news of the kingdom of God, the kingdom of universal table-fellowship to the local community?

    Family Life Education
    (Tangaza University College, 1998-02) Mwangi, Raphael
    In our world today we experience a lot of technological advances, as a result of development. These technological advances have helped the humankind to make our world a better place to live. However, these technological and scientific advancements have brought with them not only advantages, but also disadvantages. The human being has gone to an extent of thinking that he is autonomous in everything; forgetting that we cannot do without God who is the creator and primary cause of everything (Gen. lff). In this study we are going to deal with the sexual problems affecting the young people in our world today, and how to handle them. We choose this topic because during many youth seminars and workshops which we facilitated, most of the youths expressed various sexual problems facing them. Having worked in Madam Slums especially with the young people, we decided to concentrate our study on Mathare slums txtrimste the most prevalent problem there among the youth is sexuality and reproductive health, despite poverty, lack of employment, crime, etc. We cannot pretend that such sexual crisis among the young people does not exist, became the young people, according to a recent research comprise of 60% of Kenyan population today. That is why we decided to undertake such an important study, to be able to understand more deeply the situation.
