Two ways to make
an impact:

Your generosity helps bring the gospel to Africa, meeting spiritual and physical needs through our Flagship Churches: 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 that train leaders, send church planters, and reach the unreached. Four are complete. Your gift helps build the next one.

Support Where It’s Needed Most

Your gift to the general fund supports pastors and leaders on the ground in South Sudan, Sudan, and DR Congo. It covers training, transportation, ministry operations, and church planting, wherever the need is greatest. And 85 cents of every dollar you give goes straight to the field.

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 more than 8,800 local leaders to plant churches across Africa. Our 2032 goal is 15 Flagship Churches, each planting 50 village churches in its own region. That is 750 new churches in the hard places of Africa. “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).
