Empower One exists to train and support local church leaders to plant churches in the hard places of Africa.
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).
Our Approach
We work with US churches to help support African church planting.
We have four unique ways we approach ministry to the most remote and hard to reach.
