Kennedy Banze Wa Mulongo

Founder - Board Member

DRCongo Lead Director

I am a pastor, husband, father of six, and grandfather of five. I answered the call of the Lord that the oppressed, the embittered, marginalized, and vulnerable people can find the peace and joy that God brought to all humanity through Jesus, His only son.  I am both happy and committed to give my best for the success of the noble mission God has entrusted to me.

Founder - Board Member

U.S. Lead Director

I am a Christian husband and father of five. In 2017 God blessed me with the opportunity to spend six weeks with his people in Africa and I simply fell in love with them immediately. Over the course of the next two years I learned to see something different - a need to change my mindset concerning my role as an American and shake up my faith. I pray that God will grant me the opportunity to further partner with these wonderful people in his eternal work.

Founder - Board Member

Director of Education

I am a wife, a mother to five, avid reader, and am currently homeschooling our youngest daughter. I believe absolutely that education is a gift from God.  After all, how do we read the bible, if we can't read? I believe that what we can do together will always be greater than what we can do on our own.  And I believe that one of God's greatest gifts is the invitation to each of us to be a part of His work in reaching the world.
