GLOBAL IMPACT REPORT
AFRICA HEARTS CHANGED, LIVES SAVED
When God first stirred hearts to plant Christianity Explored in Uganda 20 years ago, those who stepped out in faith could never have imagined the remarkable journey that lay ahead — the lives changed, the church communities strengthened, and the expansion of gospel ministry that has spread throughout Uganda and beyond into East Africa. In 2025, we successfully carried out a pilot with Compassion International in Kenya, training 150 center leaders through 70 Compassion Centers who have so far delivered CE to 3,700 young people. One participant had a truly life-changing experience as a direct result of the training. Having been drawn into a local cult, he was required to bring a human sacrifice for an initiation ceremony. Having been exploited and indoctrinated by the group, he made the shocking decision to take his own mother to be sacrificed. On the way to the ceremony he had a clear revelation. His course leader recounted, “He remembered Mark’s gospel and CE’s teaching about the love of Christ and the sacrifice Jesus made for human beings.” He came to his senses, changed direction, dis-
connected from the group, and his mother was saved from death. Praise God for His powerful intervention and that this man and his mother escaped the clutches of evil! Partnerships with Compassion International, Pastors Discipleship Network (PDN) and Third Millenium Ministries (Thirdmill) are at the center of our growth in Africa. The potential for gospel impact is huge with Compassion International serving 500,000 children and young people in East Africa alone, PDN training 15,000 pastors in East Africa alone, and Thirdmill equipping 3,500 trainers across more than 150 countries worldwide, including a strong presence in Sub-Saharan Africa. To sustain the growth of this work, we are set- ting up a Sub-Saharan African Hub in January 2026. With a new African Director in place, we are excited to see how God continues to trans- form Africa.
