Africa and Chaplaincy Work or Enterprise


Africa and Chaplaincy Work or Enterprise
Africa with a population of about 800 million people, presents a fertile ground for chaplaincy works and enterprise. This huge population support profitable chaplaincy enterprises and works.  In almost all sectors of the economy, chaplaincy enterprise and works are different. For example:
1.     In the healthcare sector, there are:
a.     Hospital chaplaincy practice.
b.     Palliative care centers.
c.      Hospice care centers.
d.     Mental health care centers.
e.     Psycho-social therapeutic centers.
Where people can obtain quality care services without traveling overseas. However, we must grow the professionals who will offer such services first.

2.     Africa is blessed with numerous families and communities, who desire to have the services of:
a.     Family chaplains, counselors or therapists.
b.     Community chaplains.
c.      Marriage chaplains.
d.     Children counselors, chaplains or therapists.
e.     Psycho-social therapists.
f.       Psycho-spiritual therapists etc.
To attend to people having one problem or the other in their personal lives, family lives, professional lives, marital lives, social lives etc.
Indeed, Africa is a fertile ground!
Africa my Continent:
1.     Africa deserves to have the right concept of chaplaincy as obtained in other continents of the world.
2.     Africa deserve to have the right chaplaincy education like her counterparts in the developed nations of the world.
3.     Africa deserves to enjoy global best chaplaincy practice like her counterparts in the world.
4.     Africa deserves to enjoy best chaplaincy service delivery like her counterparts in the world.
5.     Africa deserves to enjoy the beauty of professional chaplaincy practice and service delivery in the form of specializations just as her counterparts in the other parts of the world do.
Chaplains in Africa, of African descent and people from other parts of the world may help us; but chaplains in Africa must take upon themselves the responsibility of ushering in profitable and beneficial chaplaincy practice and service delivery to the continent of Africa.
