December's conference In Kisumu is titled "Getting The Gospel Right." Tonny Karwa asks, "Why this theme? We believe that the Lord is prayerfully guiding us in this direction for at least two reasons: (1) To re-evangelise and/or deeply root our respective congregations in the gospel. Out of the deep love and concern we have for them, we would love to echo the words of the writer of Hebrews to them, “Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.” (2) To present the gospel simply and clearly to our delegates drawn from diverse backgrounds. Paul is clear that there is only one gospel to be preached (Gal. 1:6-7). In the mind of an average ‘professing Christian’ in Kenya, the gospel is what is espoused by the typical message of the Word of Faith Movement preacher, and becoming a Christian is equivalent to responding to an altar call in such a context, regardless of whether Christ is not proclaimed."
