GSFA Bishops Formation Retreat; 10 – 16 Feb 2025, Cairo, Egypt

A Welcome Message from the Most Revd Dr Justin Badi

My dear brothers and sisters-in-Christ, I warmly welcome you all to this second GSFA Bishops Formation Retreat in Cairo, Egypt. We are privileged that we can gather 14 bishops and their wives from 8 different Provinces to fellowship and encourage one another with the Word of God, and to acquire new skills to equip themselves for the episcopal ministry.

In the epistle to Titus, Saint Paul encourages Christian leaders to “hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.”

It is my prayer that in this retreat, we will commit our time in learning, encouraging and strategizing to take forward God’s Word with new energy.

We are grateful to have His Grace Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba from Uganda sharing on various aspects of Leadership, Bishop Alfred Olwa from Uganda sharing on Ministerial Formation, Bishop Danald Jute from South East Asia sharing on the book of James on practical teaching for godly living, Archbishop Mouneer from Alexandria sharing on the history of the Global South, and Canon Charles Raven sharing on Economic Empowerment. We also have sessions with the wives of the bishops, and wish to stress that the wife’s role in supporting her husband is so important and treasured.

We wish you all a blessed time of learning and fellowship.

May God bless you.

The Most Rev Dr Justin Badi Arama
Chairman of GSFA
