Evangelism and Church Planting – Ilaasurr Community

For the past several months, the Unite 4 Africa team has been faithfully making mission visits to the Ilaasurr community, sharing the love of Christ through outreach programs, home evangelism, prayer, and discipleship.

Through regular visits and intentional relationship-building, God opened a remarkable door for the Gospel. As we engaged families through home-to-home evangelism, the Lord connected us with a “Man of Peace”—a respected elder within the community who warmly welcomed our ministry and became an important bridge to the people.

By God’s grace and favor, this elder generously donated a small piece of land for the planting of a new church. This gift is a significant milestone in the advancement of God’s Kingdom in Ilaasurr, and a testimony of how the Holy Spirit is preparing hearts to receive the Gospel.

The new church will serve as a beacon of hope, faith, and transformation for the entire community. It will provide a place where people can gather to worship, hear God’s Word, grow in discipleship, and experience the love and power of Jesus Christ.

Beyond its spiritual impact, the church will also become a blessing to the children of the community. Many young children who have not yet had the opportunity to attend school may soon be able to learn and receive basic education under the same tree where the church fellowship currently meets. We believe this ministry will contribute not only to spiritual growth but also to the holistic development of the community.

We thank God for the new believers who have responded to the Gospel and begun their journey of faith. We continue to pray that they will remain rooted in Christ, grow in spiritual maturity, and become faithful witnesses to others around them.

EMPOWERING WOMEN TO LEAD IN THE CHURCH – ZION MAILTISA

By the grace of God, we successfully held a week-long Women’s Prayer and Bible Learning Conference under the theme “Moving into New Territory” from Deuteronomy 11:10–12. The week was marked by deep spiritual growth, fervent prayer, fellowship, and the empowerment of women to step boldly into God’s calling and leadership within the Church. Throughout the week, women gathered daily to seek the Lord, study His Word, and explore new dimensions of faith and service. The theme challenged participants to trust God as they move into new territories of ministry, influence, and spiritual responsibility, knowing that the land God gives His people is sustained by His presence and care.

A significant highlight was witnessing the support of church men who intentionally encouraged and created space for women to lead. This demonstrated a powerful shift in breaking barriers of male-only leadership, particularly within Maasai church communities. Their partnership reflected the Biblical principle that men and women are called to serve together for the advancement of God’s Kingdom.

The conference also became a platform for healing and restoration as women openly shared testimonies and life challenges. Through prayer, encouragement, and sisterhood, many found strength, hope, and renewed faith in God’s ability to carry them through difficult seasons.

We were greatly blessed by the ministry of Unite 4 Africa leaders, Dr. Okongo and Rev. Shyla, whose teaching, encouragement, and spiritual guidance deeply impacted the women. Their messages inspired participants to embrace God’s purpose with confidence and courage. The conference concluded powerfully as women gathered on their knees before the Lord in prayer and worship. The Holy Spirit moved mightily, ministering healing, renewal, conviction, and fresh empowerment. Many left with a renewed passion for God, a deeper understanding of His Word, and a commitment to lead and serve faithfully in their families, churches, and communities. We thank God for a transformative week and pray that the seeds planted will continue to bear fruit as women move forward into the new territory God has prepared for them.

“For the land you are entering to possess is a land the Lord your God cares for; the eyes of the Lord your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.” — Deuteronomy 11:12

Restoring Dignity Through Sanitary Pad Distribution

One of our ongoing community outreach projects is the distribution of sanitary pads to girls in schools and local communities. This initiative is about much more than providing hygiene products it is about restoring dignity, protecting health, and creating opportunities for girls to thrive.

Many girls miss school because they cannot afford sanitary pads. By providing these essential supplies, we help ensure that they can attend classes consistently, participate confidently in school activities, and continue pursuing their education without interruption.

This project also promotes good menstrual hygiene, helping to reduce infections and improve the overall health and well-being of adolescent girls. Beyond meeting a physical need, it boosts their confidence, self-esteem, and sense of dignity during a very important stage of life.

Through these distributions, we also create opportunities to educate girls on menstrual health, personal hygiene, and self-worth. We encourage them to embrace their value, care for their bodies, and pursue their dreams with confidence.

We are deeply grateful to our partners and supporters whose generosity makes this ministry possible. Every packet of sanitary pads distributed is an investment in a girl’s education, health, confidence, and future. Together, we are bringing hope, restoring dignity, and empowering the next generation of young women.

A Permanent Church for the Orkung’u Community: Building for Eternity

With hearts full of gratitude to God, we are delighted to share the successful completion of a permanent church building for the Orkung’u community. This milestone is a testimony to God’s faithfulness and the incredible generosity of our ministry partners and supporters who have faithfully stood with us in advancing the Gospel.

For many years, the believers in Orkung’u worshipped in temporary structures that were vulnerable to rain, wind, and extreme weather. These conditions often interrupted services, limited ministry activities, and made it difficult for the congregation to gather consistently. Despite these challenges, the church remained steadfast in faith, continuing to worship God and share the Good News with their community.

Today, that story has changed. The new permanent church stands as a symbol of hope, faith, and God’s enduring presence among His people. It provides a secure and welcoming place where families can gather for worship, prayer, Bible study, discipleship, youth fellowships, children’s ministry, leadership training, and community outreach throughout the year.

This building represents far more than bricks and mortar. It is a place where lives will be transformed through the preaching of God’s Word, where people will come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, where marriages and families will be strengthened, where children will grow in the knowledge of God, and where future leaders and missionaries will be equipped to serve His Kingdom. We believe this church will continue to impact generations to come, becoming a spiritual lighthouse that shines the love and hope of Christ throughout the entire Orkung’u community and beyond.

The completion of this church also reflects the power of partnership in ministry. Every prayer offered, every financial gift given, and every word of encouragement has contributed to making this vision a reality. Because of your faithful support, a congregation now has a permanent home where they can worship freely and continue reaching others with the Gospel.

On behalf of the church family in Orkung’u and our entire ministry team, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who made this project possible. Your generosity is producing an eternal harvest. Together, we are not simply constructing buildings—we are establishing places where God’s people will worship, disciples will be made, communities will be transformed, and lives will be changed for the glory of God.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” — Psalm 127:1

Thank you for partnering with us in building God’s Kingdom. We look forward to sharing many more testimonies of lives transformed through this new house of worship.
