Key Ministries
- Training Christian leaders
We help equip church leaders to disciple their congregations through formal theological education at the local Bible College, informal workshops and seminars with churches, Pastor’s Book Set Conferences, and the African Strategic Discipleship Movement (ASDM) programme. - Mobilisation
We aim to see the Namibian church joining God’s global mission force, so we help train and equip local churches to be mission-minded and come alongside them to help send out global mission workers. - Children and youth
We desire to see the next generations of Namibians becoming passionate, maturing disciples of Christ. Through this ministry we have teachers placed in schools, which is a strategic opportunity for reaching children and youth. We also partner with various church and community children’s and youth ministries.
Spiritual Landscape in Namibia
Christianity was introduced by Western mission workers in the mid-nineteenth century, into a country in which most people followed traditional African religions.
It has since expanded broadly and 90 per cent of Namibians claim to be Christian. However, much of that so-called “Christianity” is either nominal, syncretistic, or just plain false teaching. The Joshua Project estimates that only abouit 12 per cent of Namibians are evangelical, Bible-believing followers of Jesus.
Please pray
- For God to send more workers to Namibia
- For our team as we look into new areas of outreach and discipleship
- For the churches in Namibia to hear God’s calling to mission, both locally and globally
- For pastors and other church workers to effectively and faithfully disciple their local congregations
