From Marketing to Ministry: Evelyn Mwasa Launches 'Wakisa Devotions'

Evelyn Mwasa, a professional in marketing and leadership, has launched "Wakisa Devotions - Part 1," a devotional book designed to help readers extract practical lessons from the Bible and apply them to daily life. Mwasa sees a growing need for spiritual grounding and engagement with Scripture in an era dominated by social media and entertainment.

“

I felt there was no better time to package and release Wakisa Devotions than during the complex geopolitical and social season we are currently navigating, when many people are searching for hope, direction and spiritual clarity.

The inspiration for the book came after Mwasa undertook a year-long Bible study in 2025, a period of obedience prompted by her church pastors. This journey, along with insights from influential books read in 2025, gave her the courage to journal her reflections and transform them into a published work. She felt the current complex geopolitical and social climate, marked by widespread searching for hope and direction, was the opportune moment to release her devotional.

Mwasa draws a parallel between her professional experience in marketing and her spiritual calling. She explains that marketing involves identifying societal needs and finding solutions, a principle she now applies to her faith. Aligning her actions with divine principles, she finds greater productivity and purpose, shifting her focus from merely promoting products to making a tangible positive impact, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This perspective is the driving force behind "Wakisa Devotions."

“

Marketing is about identifying societal needs and finding ways to satisfy them. Through my professional journey, I have realised that when I align what I do with God's ways, I become more productive and purposeful.

Addressing the uncertainty and anxiety many face today, Mwasa emphasizes that the Old Testament offers timeless guidance, not just historical accounts. She asserts that understanding God's heart, His requirements, and surrendering challenges through prayer are crucial. The book aims to show readers that the lessons from the Old Testament and the book of Job are relevant for navigating contemporary life, offering a path to thrive amidst difficulties.

The central message of Wakisa Devotions - Part 1 is that the Old Testament is not merely history; it is guidance for today. We need to draw lessons from it, understand God's heart, recognise what He requires of us, and surrender our challenges to Him through prayer.
