“Keep Jesus at the center of your theology and lives, and tell others about this message.”

In a world of shifting voices, the message from the Rafiki Bible Study on Colossians calls us to unwavering focus on Christ—his supremacy, sufficiency, and ongoing work in us.

Let this be the foundation of every lesson, every classroom, and every home where God’s Word is opened.

Through the Rafiki Bible Study, this foundation comes to life as students, teachers, and families open Scripture together and are led step by step into a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ. Visit our resource website and purchase your Rafiki Bible Study today! Learn more of who Christ is, what he has done, and how his Word shapes every part of life.

It’s a joy to see the creativity God has placed throughout Rafiki Villages. In Rwanda, we recently saw this displayed through the art teacher, Arsene, and Rafiki resident, Valante. Together, they designed and painted this beautiful piece—Valante’s very first experience with acrylics. This artwork now hangs framed in the guest house to honor the Home Office, as the Village anticipated their recent visit.

Every gift God gives is meant to point back to him—just as Arsene and Valante’s work reflects his beauty and brings him glory through the creativity he has placed within them.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to serve overseas with Rafiki? 🌍

Before July 2024, Lylah had only experienced the Rafiki Foundation from the U.S. But everything changed when she traveled to the Rafiki Village Liberia and witnessed firsthand the global impact God is making through Rafiki’s work.

From daily ministry to life in a Rafiki Village, her experience offers a real glimpse into the calling and joy of short-term missions. And the same opportunity is open to you.

✨ God uses willing hands and hearts to serve children, staff, and communities across Africa. Could he be calling you to go?

There’s something special happening in Rwanda.

Each morning, more than 1,200 students in 12 schools are opening God’s Word through the Rafiki Bible Study. In six of those schools, teachers are also embracing the Rafiki Classical Christian Curriculum—learning, growing, and faithfully stepping into a new way of teaching.

Would you pray for these teachers? Pray that they would grasp the heart behind the curriculum, teach with faithfulness, and weave Scripture into every subject. Pray that this work would continue to grow across Rwanda.

Nancy discovered early on that she loved creating—turning simple pieces of fabric into something useful and beautiful. After graduating from Rafiki in Ghana, she began pursuing an apprenticeship in sewing, a path that has proven fulfilling and purposeful.

From skirts to gowns, Nancy is honing her craft and finding joy in watching her designs come to life. Recently, she took the initiative to sew skirts simply for the opportunity to practice and serve others, and her joy was unmistakable when her work suited her friends perfectly.

Nancy’s story reflects a larger truth: whether through a trade, a profession, or a calling yet to unfold, each step our graduates take becomes an opportunity to serve the Lord and bless others. Their faithfulness in the work before them is a testimony to his provision, guidance, and purpose at work in their lives.
