The QuIP study provides clear evidence that the evangelical church’s engagement in holistic ministry (CCM, awareness-raising, projects and teaching) is having a positive impact on individuals and communities. The study finds that:
- CCM is embedded into the church so that it has become a ‘way of life’ rather than a distinct development project.
- The Christian faith has improved behaviour and communication for many families, and raised levels of self-worth, agency and hope in the future.
- Drought and soil disease have substantially affected many households and while some aspects of CCM have helped households to remain resilient, further capacity building to mitigate some of these challenges could support the process.
