I read Kuza regularly, and the reason I keep coming back is because their content really speaks to me. The articles and podcasts help me see life through a biblical lens. The examples they use are relatable, and it often feels like they truly understand the questions I wrestle with—about life and about God.

For a couple of years now I have been engaged in students ministry, focus being engaging university and college students with the gospel, equipping them through discipleship and empowering them through life on life experiences.

The demand here has always been that I must be well equipped in Biblical doctrines and Biblical truths not just towards my labors towards seeing students live lives glorifying God and be agents of Godly living but more so for my own personal journey and walk with the Lord.

The KuzaApp and the Kuza website has been for a number of years now one of my greatest tool of ministry and personal growth.

I have been able to access devotional materials with a lot of ease, I have had a number of controversial and challenging topics related to living today addressed in manners that not only added knowledge but challanged me and the young men I walk with towards a pursuit of holiness and Godly living.

Topics of discussion through the podcasts and blogs have been soo relevant to me and my work.

In summary, through the KuzaApp I have been able to:

1: Have access to relevant materials towards my personal growth and development as a Christian.

2: Access to relevant material that I am able to make good use of as I minister and disciple students.

3: It’s availability, ease of use and adherence to Biblical truths has demanded that I share and recommend it to the students I mister to and to friends around as a means of personal growth.

I came to Perfect Edifiers during a health crisis, expecting relief, but I encountered something far greater, unlike any NGO I had known; their humanitarian outreach was deeply rooted in the Gospel.

Their bold, compassionate discipleship amidst service was unlike anything I’d seen, that moment became my turning point from Islam to a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Perfect Edifiers doesn’t separate help from hope; they meet urgent needs and introduce eternal truth.

My personal walk with Christ began in a small Sunday school room but it was through Perfect Edifiers that my foundation was strengthened, their passion for raising biblically grounded children is unmatched.

With free Sunday school manuals and training, they’re not just teaching they’re shaping future pastors, missionaries, and leaders. I’m one of them. I’m living proof that when you invest in children’s discipleship, you change the Church for generations, Perfect Edifiers is doing just that, and your support can help them reach even more.

After over 20 years in pastoral ministry, I came face-to-face with a hard truth: much of what I taught, though well-intentioned, was rooted in poor biblical interpretation, my encounter with Perfect Edifiers’ leadership training was a turning point. Their teachings opened my eyes, corrected years of error, and set my ministry on a path of truth and transformation, today, my congregation is growing not just in number, but in sound doctrine.

Perfect Edifiers is doing more than training leaders; they’re healing churches and restoring biblical integrity across Africa; I’m living proof. Your support can help multiply this impact.

I am June Nasimoni, and I am visually impaired. Being here has greatly impacted me. I’ve learned about many types of disability I never knew before, which empowers me to advocate for others. I’ve also been given a platform to showcase my talents and grow spiritually through God’s Word, which reminds us we are valued and created with purpose.

My name is Susan Atieno, mother to Scovia, an 18-year-old with a disability. Being part of African Ability has truly helped me. I’ve learned sewing, sign language, and received spiritual encouragement. Knowing the Bible includes people with disabilities shows us we’re not alone. I’m grateful for the skills, support, and hope I’ve found here. The training has empowered me to earn income, care for my family, and build confidence to face the challenges of raising a child with a disability.

I am Rev. Wycliffe Martin, Free Methodist Church – Karen Branch. I acknowledge and appreciate the work and ministry of Africa Ability Trust in the informal settlement, serving persons with disabilities and their families. They reach women, men, girls, and vulnerable groups where services are lacking, training, equipping, and empowering them. I was part of Africa Ability Trust disability training and attest to this noble job. This is a true calling, served wholeheartedly and with dedication

I have hope to live through OLCAP! Thank you, God!

I thank God for the OLCAP green grocery entrepreneurship program. I have challenges, but now I have a living. I can take my children to school and get them medical care.

My name is “Simeon” (name withheld), an inmate at the Bo Correctional Services.I have been greatly blessed by the weekly Bible study teachings led by Pastor Jonathan of BWPSL, as well as the generous gift of 100 Bibles he provided to us. Both the teachings and the access to God’s Word have been life-transforming for me.

As I continue to study and grow in my understanding of the Scriptures, my life is being renewed daily. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and for the impact it is having on my spiritual journey.

My name is Fatmata Neima Senesie, a participant in the June 2025 Tentmakers Workshop held in Bo City, Sierra Leone.

First and foremost, I am thankful to God for the gift of life, and I also express my sincere gratitude to the facilitator of the Tentmakers Workshop. As a small business owner, this training has been truly enlightening. I have gained valuable insights that will help me avoid the mistakes I used to make—mistakes that often led to loss.

Most importantly, I have learned how to intentionally use my business space as a platform to share the message of Christ. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to be part of this impactful workshop.

I came to know the 4:12 Youth Group back in 2012 during youth camps held at our church.

My testimony is that this ministry has helped me grow spiritually and walk boldly by faith, trusting in God. The mentorship program and solid biblical teachings have shaped me into a better leader, and today I serve as a youth pastor in our church.

Pastor Matthew Elmore and Pastor Zephaniah Muriuki  and the entire 4:12 ministry have played a significant role in mentoring and encouraging me. They invited me to attend 4:12 trainings and workshops, which had a great impact on my life and ministry.

As a result of the 4:12 training, we were able to start weekly youth Bible studies, and from that, we have seen many young leaders grow and serve in different areas of ministry.

4:12 Youth Ministry has become very dear to me—a true blessing in many ways. I am a living testimony of its impact, and I thank God for how He continues to use this ministry to equip and empower young people for His glory.

My name is Rev, Benard Rotich, aseniior pastor of kapsogeruk Africa Gospel Church. Several years ago I got a priviledge to attend a leader’s trainning conference organized by 4:12 ministry through Rev, Simon Mitei. Everything from the way the conference was organized to the teachings and the way 4:12 staff members conducted themselves changed my perspective on ministry and the way I handled my calling to the mnistry that I do till now.

The conference was on doing youth ministry biblically. It helped me to handle the youth in a better way, my church since then has enjoyed introduction of the youths to ministry and allowing them opportunities to serve in different capacities, 4:12 ministry has been there for us since then, they have given to us bible study material which are enkoyed not only by the youth but Sunday school and the entire church, the ministry has shaped the way I handle school ministry and am a grateful for all the support they give to us.

4:12 ministry participates every year in our annual evangelistic event to North Pokot and Uganda, we call it “Halalee Mission{. We use their Land cruiser to take foodstuss and clothes from churches in the larger Sotik areato hurting and suffering people in Pokot. Their help is unmeasurable in taking good news of hope to those needy people. One of the best things they do is screening Jesus film in local languages, which leads thousands to Crist every time they watch the film,

Last year 4:12 ministry in partnership with their ministry friends distributed 400 copies of bibles in our area and four churches received a 10000 liter water tanks. This ministry is so real and what they do is so relevant to the church today. May the Lord bless 4:12 ministry to keep up thei servises to humanity which is servise to God. Their impact is felt to all those who get a chance to serve with them.

My name is Onesmus Mulwa, a born-again Christian, Sunday school teacher, and youth leader, I’m incredibly grateful for the path God has set before me. My journey in youth ministry began in 2013 when Pastor Sammy Musili, now the Director of 4.12 Ministries, introduced me to this impactful work. He equipped me with invaluable training in leadership, event management—from youth camps to evangelism missions—and God has been faithful every step of the way.

4.12 Ministries has been a profound spiritual force, instrumental in bringing countless lives to Christ, particularly in my region. Its influence has even sparked the creation of smaller, specialized ministries, including the Puppet ministry and the Shepherdhood Ministry, where I currently serve as a leader. I can truly testify to God’s immense grace in this role.

A pivotal moment occurred when 4.12 Ministries organized a capacity-building training for leaders and youth pastors on the “Biblical Principles of Youth Ministry.” This event empowered pastors with knowledge and provided essential Bible study materials, with the aim that every church represented would establish its own youth ministry, which gave birth to the Shepherdhood youth ministry and “The Puppets” Ministries.  At Shepherdhood, we embraced this vision wholeheartedly, initiating youth camps, sports festivals, and even entrepreneurial ventures like providing goats to youth groups. These initiatives not only helped young people earn an income and improve their lives but also deepened their commitment to serving Christ.

Today, I’m thrilled to witness hundreds of churches actively engaged in youth ministry. The best part? 4.12 Ministries remains just a call away, always ready to offer support and guidance whenever needed.

I’m grateful to EE2FF on behalf of my organization for the donation and teachings that we have received. They are helping us with our current outreach project of teaching “Sewing” to Single Mothers and EE2FF will make this happen for the glory of our God.

I give praise to God for our opportunity through SWHarvest. Teachers from the United States have come to share about the development of the body of Christ and the advancement of His kingdom.

The depth of scriptural knowledge that Dr. David has is admirable. He has a deep grasp and understanding of his subject that it invites those who are in his sessions to get encouraged to learn more.

The Prophetic workshop, though challenging to grasp, offered an enlightening experience—revealing how the prophets’ ministry and message remain deeply relevant in today’s world.

My learning summary in one sentence. I have in-depth understanding of major biblical prophetic events and clarify my doubts on pre millennialism and millennium kingdom during this Prophecy Workshop.

Dave Wold is a godly man and a fabulous teacher of the Word. He’s been a blessing to our ministry through going above and beyond in the preparation of his notes and thoroughness of teaching. His passion for the Word of God is contagious and easily spreads to those who have the privilege to hear him teach the Bible.

Thank you for these very good tourniquets. These are some of the best and everyone praises them a lot. It is something incredible. So thank you for what you do, it is very necessary, thank you!

I am grateful to God and you for what you are doing for my country. May the Lord bless everyone who works in Operation Neighbor! I never thought that a tourniquet is such a wonderful tool for preaching the Gospel. Thank you very much!

Two years ago, I was a hopeless drug addict, completely empty and caught up in a life of organized crime.  God led me to rehab and Jesus caught my heart.  My life has been renewed and the peace and hope I have from God is amazing.  I am serving in a day-center for children and look forward to God continuing to use me in different roles in my church family.  I plan to go to Seminary next year.  God is good.

I’ve been drinking for much of my life.  After a drunk driving incident early in 2025, I spent several months at the rehab center our church runs.  I read the Bible a lot and humbled myself before God and He had mercy on me.  I got out of rehab and soon after, was picked up by the military police and sent off for training to defend Ukraine.  To my amusement, the other soldiers call me, “Valentine with the Bible” – I look forward to representing my Savior in the army.  My life has been changed by the power of God’s Word.

As the Academic Dean of the Latvian Biblical Center, I have the joy of witnessing firsthand how God is at work in the lives of our students. Throughout their year of study, these students are not only growing in biblical knowledge and ministry skills, but they’re also building meaningful bridges across generations and denominational lines. It’s a beautiful picture of unity in the Body of Christ. They are being equipped to boldly share the Gospel and make an impact in their communities and workplaces – bringing light and hope to the people of Latvia. It’s truly inspiring to see how God is using this next generation to strengthen His Church.

My name is Raivo Jutāns, and I am currently studying at the Latvian Biblical Centre in the “Theology and Ministry” program.It is a great opportunity for any student to study this program, which provides in-depth knowledge about the history of Christianity.I believe that many of these lectures and other programs would be valuable for every student to know. They are truly led by very knowledgeable instructors. Their experience and knowledge, gathered over a lifetime, are extremely valuable. I especially want to highlight the excellent exchange of ideas that happens among students here. That’s why I recommend everyone: come and study now!

“SCHOOL OF PREACHERS” (Pastor Normunds Lāms)
I study at the Latvian Biblical Centre’s School of Preachers. These studies have helped me discover many different preaching styles, and most importantly – have given me the opportunity to practice it. Through studying at the School of Preachers, I have gained even greater confidence in my life’s calling, as well as greater confidence in preaching and serving God. I’m thrilled about the instructors at the School of Preachers – they are not only excellent preachers themselves, but also something more. They know how to teach and provide practical tools so that we can grow as preachers.

We can TOGETHER say that the course “Family Truths” has given us a strong foundation and a clear direction for how we want to build our family. We feel not only better prepared for marriage and raising children but also spiritually and emotionally more mature. This course has changed our thinking, our attitude, and our hearts – not only as future parents but as people overall.

It has given us not only knowledge but also the confidence that, by living according to God’s Word, it is possible to build a family that serves one another with love, sincerity, and reverence. And such a family can be a powerful witness to the world of what God is like – loving, just, forgiving, and faithful.

We know that due to life circumstances we couldn’t attend several sessions in person, but we want to say thank you to everyone who contributed to the creation and realization of this course. May God richly bless you!

“Barnabas Aid is honored to partner with the Church of Pakistan Lahore Diocesan Council (COPLDC) in reaching vulnerable Christian communities in Pakistan. Through our collaboration, we are currently supporting scholarships for needy students across the Diocese’s 20 Cathedral schools and running a food distribution program that provides essential supplies to 300 widows and underprivileged families. COPLDC’s commitment to serving with compassion, accountability, and faith is truly commendable. We are grateful for this partnership and pray for its continued impact and growth.

I am 75 years old and live alone, with no regular source of income. The monthly financial support I receive from the Church of Pakistan Lahore Diocesan Council has been a blessing from God. It helps me buy food and medicine, and reminds me that I am not forgotten.

It is a joy and privilege for the Diocese of Manchester to partner with the Church of Pakistan Lahore Diocesan Council in their vital education ministry. Through this partnership, we support their mission to provide quality education rooted in Christian values, nurturing young minds and building hope for future generations.”

Before joining the Restoring Nature program, I didn’t know how much our actions affect the environment. Through the youth ministry, I learned how caring for God’s creation is part of our faith. Planting trees, cleaning our neighborhood, and learning about sustainability gave me confidence and a purpose. I now feel responsible for protecting the earth and encouraging others to do the same.

As a participant of BWP’s first Tentmakers Workshop and various programs, putting my learning into practise, I have seen significant growth in my business. BWP has truly deepened my understanding and provided the clarity I needed to grasp my business’s potential and the role it can play in building His kingdom.

After joining this leadership workshop, I have come to know and understand more about the heart of God and His love for His children. From the very beginning of the Bible His redemptive plan for mankind is revealed- its truly a love letter from God to humanity

Having gone through the unique Tentmakers Workshop for the entrepreneurs organized by Business With Purpose in 2019 emphasizing on the Biblical principles it helped me streamline my business approach, policies and understand the market better. Even after the Workshop the Journey program via Zoom were organized. I got a lot of encouragements during the harsh years of the COVID-19 pandemic as well. Partnering with the Business With Purpose ministry has been a blessing.

Our capacity to pursue the ministry God has ordained was severely limited by overwhelming pressures. The partnership with Serving Workers for the Harvest (SWHarvest) changed everything. SWHarvest strategically intervened to remove administrative and resource barriers, allowing us to pivot from survival mode to focused outreach. We are now enabled and fully empowered to fulfill our mission.

We give thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ for the faithful service and unwavering dedication of Sara Ministries. Your commitment to advancing the Kingdom of God through prayer, teaching, outreach, and discipleship is truly inspiring. May God continue to strengthen and bless your leaders, congregation, and every initiative you pursue for His glory. Together, we celebrate your calling and partnership in SE Asia and beyond.

SARA Ministries has played a vital role in my life. This organization is dedicated to equipping leaders, discipling believers, and supporting those in need. One of its key initiatives is the Children’s Ministry, where I have had the privilege of growing in my own faith while serving alongside others. Through this ministry, I have been able to contribute to the spiritual development of young lives and fulfill God’s calling to serve His people.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to walk with SARA Ministries as we work to impact the people of SE Asia. Our mission aligns with God’s great commandment—to love and serve others while advancing His kingdom. Being part of this ministry has not only strengthened my faith but also allowed me to witness firsthand the transformative power of God’s work in communities. I am grateful to God for His provision and I also thank my spiritual father Dr Tej Rokka for his fatherhood in my life and living example for the gospel which I am committed to follow.

I am Serving the Lord as a Pastor in SARA Churchl. I Thank God for this privilege has been given to me and thankful for The SARA ministry Because I am getting the opportunity to do the work of the Lord through SARA ministry. God has given us this ministry to fulfill his Great Commission in this earth.

All glory to God for SARA Ministries.

I am pleased and honored to endorse the wonderful work of SARA Ministries.

I have known Dr. Tej Rokka for many years and have had the privilege of visiting the ministry. Their dedication to the Gospel and the Great Commission, and their ongoing compassion to “the least of these” are noble, genuine, and a challenge to the rest of us to follow their example (2 Corinthians 8-9).

SARA Ministries has been a thriving multi-faceted ministry for many years now. It focuses on sound Bible teaching and living out the gospel of Jesus Christ in making disciples in various contexts not just in church but in  communities across the country. I’ve witnessed this myself on several visits. I endorse this ministry and its founder, Rev. Dr. Tej Rokka, for their steadfast and stellar commitment to Christ and serving the people of SE Asia.

Robert DeCorah and Native Ministries International has a heart for Native Americans. Roberts heart is to reach as many native Americans as possible for Jesus. He also has a heart for equipping the next generation of native pastors, and not only Americans, but indigenous pastors internationally as well. He has made very informative resources available to many who minister to native Americans. The work of Native Ministries International is worthy of your support.

Robert De Corah  has been teaching in our BUILD program since 2018. BUILD brings biblical education to reservations, and Robert has taught on each of the four reservations we have gone to so far. His class on Spiritual Warfare is always well attended and is a key part of our program because of its relevance of the daily lives of Native American people. We are so grateful for Robert and his partnership with us!

I have known Robert De Corah over 50 years.  He has always been faithful in sharing the good news of our Lord Jesus with all. His Love for the Word of God is unprecedented and unwavering.  Robert has the heart of a servant/teacher and I am blessed to call him my friend and brother.

We would like to continue to reflect on legacy and share a testimony of a legacy.

Jesse Eisel came out of Teen Challenge and came to the Launching Pad. Jesse grew in his relationship with Jesus and became a disciple of Our Lord. He allowed Jesus and His Word to transform him. Through inner healing of past wounds he was able to see his identity in his Father God, his creator. Jesse graduated from Launching Pad after 18 months. During that time he shared the gospel with his sister and her Fiance, his dad and mom. They all surrendered to Jesus. They saw how Jesse went from a wild drug filled life to being totally transformed before their eyes. A few years ago Jesse’s sister Sarah and her Fiance were water baptized by Jesse and the very next day Sarah and Bryce were married by Jesse officiating. Also a few years ago Jesse ask Pastor Greg Pagh of Christ Church Otsego if he could host a Monday night worship night and prayer.

Greg graciously gave him the keys to the church. Melanie, Jesse’s mom, also had inner healing from our prayer team. Melanie is an RN at HCMC mental health facility.

When you go through such turmoil and think your never going to live a normal life or lets say in my case, (I didn’t want to live I wanted to die so bad) I could not believe that I was going through this.  After meeting in a private prayer with Laura, we discussed that perhaps the divorce was the straw that broke the camels back.  I couldn’t handle one more person that I loved and meant everything to me abandoned me.  I had nothing but devastation starting first with the death of my mother and not having any parents left at age 42.  Seven months later my brother dies, “oh my god what was happening!”.  One year later,  I am told by my husband that he is seeing someone and does not love me anymore and wants a divorce.  Along with this came debt that was hid from me.  So in three years I lose my mother, brother, husband not to mention debt and our home that we raised our family in and meant everything to me.

Drinking was not something I did before this, in fact I hated it.  I had a very difficult childhood and seen much trauma I am told by my older siblings.  Seen a lot of domestic violence and both parents’ alcoholics, trust me I seen more than any child should see.

I am glad I found help and that I found the Hope Connection.  Your and Laura’s support has enabled me to move forward in my life. I feel like I am finding myself and through this, I have given my will to Jesus Christ.  Thanks for all you do!

Since moving into the discipleship home, Jean Carlos has not only built a personal relationship with Christ, but has also discovered hope and direction for his future. Over the past three years, the stability and support of the home have helped him finish high school—an achievement he once thought was out of reach. Today, thanks to the continued encouragement and provision of the discipleship community, Jean Carlos is pursuing a career in nursing school. His story is a powerful reminder that when someone is given love, faith, and opportunity, their life can be completely transformed.

Since moving into the discipleship home, Roman Lopez has grown tremendously as a young man and in his faith in Christ. Through the Creative Arts Ministry at Genesis Church, he has discovered and developed his passion for photography and graphic design.

Now, not only is he pursuing formal education in graphic design, but he’s also pouring into others by leading his own small group. Roman’s journey is a beautiful example of how faith, community, and creative purpose can shape a life of impact.
