 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
As a group we highlighted the following as the main problems:
 Questionable work ethics.
 Misunderstanding between the concerned parties.
 Lack of trust.
 The offender being ignorant to his mistake.
 PROBLEM DEFINITION
Work ethics - It is a set of values centered on importance of work and manifested
by determination or desire to work hard.
Examples of ethical behaviors in the workplace include; obeying the company's
rules, effective communication taking responsibility, accountability,
professionalism, trust and mutual respect for your colleagues at work. These
examples of ethical behaviors ensure maximum productivity output at work.
Colossians 3:23-24 “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for
men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance ...
 BRAINSTORMING
 Rev.James seems ignorant to his mistake because despite being
caught on the wrong, he still goes ahead and reports the church
to the police and he also expects to be reinstated.

 Despite having intentions of returning the money, it was wrong of

him to take it without taking the necessary measures and it would
otherwise be given to him as a loan
RESTRUCTURING THE PROBLEM
After redefining the problem, we came to a conclusion that the main issue has to
do with poor work ethics hence leading to our research on how church leaders
focus on squandering money.

Faith leaders or religious institutions are often held to high standards of

morals and ethics with the assumption that they operate from religious
principles. Unfortunately, people often fall short of assumptions and
expectations or communities shy from asking these actors to be transparent
for accountability’s sake. In an environment where corruption is rampant,
religious leaders face similar social pressure found in other sectors of
society.

On my recent trip to Kenya, a journalist expose reported coached

testimonies, fake healing, and outright extortion at a church in Nairobi.
This story came up repeatedly in my interactions with Kenyans but also in
a sermon at a church I attended. As I followed the story in the news, I also
learned that the Kenyan attorney general hoped to curtail future
scandals by tightening regulation of religious organizations.

In my conversations, I asked people if this incident changed their

perceptions or trust of how churches receive and manage money
(offerings). In response, one Kenyan told me that he had been in church
services where the preacher would tell the congregation, “God gave me a
vision…that I should have a fancy car.” Trying to convince the people it was
ordained by God, the preacher asked members to give more money to fund
and fulfill this vision. In response, the man I was speaking with said that
he stood and crassly countered, “God didn’t give me that same vision, so
why give you the money?” He was escorted out of the service.

FORMULATE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Our objectives include:
 Looking into how the church spends their funds.
 Describing the effects of having church leaders who use their positions for
personal gain.

 INDEPENGENT STUDY
Individually, the group members looked into the above objectives and we were
able to combine the different ideologies .
 SYNTHESIZE
 The church should do proper evaluation of their staff before
employing them especially when dealing with funds.
 Rev.Asiyo should face proper consequences and it will serve as a
warning to the rest.
 He should acknowledge his mistake and try to negotiate his way
out with the authorities instead of ignoring his mistake.
