A Growing Church

Written by East-West Staff | May 5, 2016 1:00:16 PM

In Africa, a team of East-West national partners gathered to share updates on their evangelism and church planting ministries.

There was much to celebrate, but the room went silent when Kabita* spoke up.

She was 81-years-old and God was still using her in amazing ways among the unreached in her homeland. Despite her age, Kabita was able to travel—furthering the message of the gospel. And the Lord blessed her evangelism efforts.

On that day, she shared that 127 new house churches had started through her work.

And God is not finished with her yet.

Kabita’s faithful gospel witness is an inspiration to female leaders in this region of the world. In the churches she’s helped start, she now disciples the women—raising them up in the teachings of Christ to be bold evangelists, Bible teachers, mothers, and wives.

Through Kabita and the rising leaders she mentors, the church is exploding in Africa.
