Niger: Pioneer Churchs – Leadership Training – Children’s Education – Drilling Wells
Niger, bordering the Sahara desert, is located in the 10/40 window and is one of the three poorest countries in the world. Most years are considered famine years as rainfall is often not enough for the majority who attempt to live off of each year’s harvest. The average literacy rate is 28% and 50% of Niger’s 17.5 million people are under the age of 15. Though 97% of the people are Muslims, the country declares religious freedom. Because of this, Niger is a gateway nation, providing a way for the Gospel to not only penetrate its people, but also to reach surrounding nations. NOW is the time to reach Niger!
Neal & Danette Childs have been reaching the unreached with Vie Abondante (Abundant Life) in Niger, Africa since 1997. The goal of Vie Abondante is church planting and discipleship and there are currently 36 churches across the nation. These churches are all pastored by nationals (former Muslims), trained by the ministry.
Become a part of what God is doing in Niger through your prayers and giving.

Uganda: Youth Ministry
LEGACY YOUTH NETWORK is an organization in Uganda that we partner with to provide training for young people in their twenties and thirties in seven East African countries including Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, Congo, South Sudan, and Ethiopia. We hold an annual conference in a different country each year to help these young people network, strategize and plan ways to develop their communities. Pray with us that God will raise up a new generation of Christian leaders in these countries to preach the Gospel and start projects that will improve life in their communities. You can help sponsor a youth conference or project with a one time gift.
Burundi: Churches – Christian School – Bible School – Children’s Home
Burundi is a small, land-locked country in central Africa bordering on Rwanda. French is the national language, but the people speak Kirundi. It is a poor but fertile country with a growing church. Equipping the Nations is dedicated to the education and development of children and church leaders through the ministries below.
TUMAINI CHRISTIAN SCHOOL is for children from 3 years to 10 years old. (Tumaini means “Hope” in Swahili) The school has currently maxed out its current rented facility and .so we are in the process of raising funds to buy property to build their own school. This would provide the opportunity for ongoing Christina education to children for generations to come. Prayerfully consider giving to this project.
TUMAINI CHILDREN’S HOME is for orphaned and abandoned children. Thanks to donors like you, we were able to build a new home last year that currently has nineteen children who are sleeping in their own bed for the first time in their lives and able to eat off a table instead of sitting on the floor. Partner with us to help provide monthly support for food, clothing, and education for these precious children.
GRACE BIBLE SCHOOL is a two-year Bible School program bringing much needed training for pastors and church leaders. We are currently publishing twenty-four Bible School workbooks in the Kirundi language for the students. It costs between two and three hundred dollars to publish each workbook.
