Abstract
What is known as Embu Diocese presently was a part of Meru diocese.
Embu became a diocese only in 1986 under the leadership of Bishop John Njue;
The Salesians of Don Bosco Set foot on what would be later called Embu Diocese in
1980 to be a part of great force in evangelization among the youth started by the
Consolata Fathers in 1920s.2
My essay is organized in four areas each of which provide a broad view and
insights to possible solutions to challenges in evangelization. In Chapter one I will
try to bring out the essential elements in evangelization and their implications. The
nature of each of the elements will be explained in relation to evangelization. I will
attempt to show how these elements could affect evangelization if they are not
accorded their due importance. Lastly I will indicate how these elements lie within
the plan of God for humanity.
In Chapter II, I will expound how young people could fail to acquire the
essence of evangelization. In this section under review will be youth and the
evangelizer, youth and catechesis, and youth and communication. In Chapter III I
will investigate how the nature of the evangelizer is a pastoral challenge while
Chapter IV will be my recommendations and lastly conclusion.
