End-of-Year Giving 2025: Reach the Unreached With Hope

As this year draws to a close, you can help bring the Gospel to communities who have never heard the name of Jesus. Across Sudan, South Sudan, and Congo, families are waiting for hope, peace, and the transforming power of Christ.

Your generosity equips local leaders to plant churches, disciple new believers, and carry the light of Christ into some of the hardest-to-reach places on earth. Join us in reaching the unreached and strengthening the church where it is needed most.

Empower One is a registered 501(c)(3), and all donations are tax-deductible.

Two ways to make
an impact:

Your generosity helps bring the gospel to Africa—meeting both spiritual and physical needs through our Flagship Churches with refuge, food, education, clean water, and medicine.

Fuel the Vision. Fund a Flagship.

As part of Vision 2032, Empower One is planting 15 Flagship ministry centers to train leaders, send church planters, and reach the unreached. Thanks to your generosity, 4 Flagships are complete, but the mission isn’t finished yet.

Your gift can launch the next one.

OUR PURPOSE

We believe that the greatest hope for the gospel in Africa is through the discipleship of local africans.

Since 2007, we have trained 8,432 local leaders to plant churches throughout Africa, and our 2032 goal is to establish 15 flagship churches that will plant 50 village churches in each of their geographic locations. That is 750 churches in some of the darkest places in Africa. “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).
