Passing on to Another

The goat project is one of the projects that has brought great and lasting joy to families who hitherto were worried about the picture as a result of the passing of a parent or both parents of a child.

The culture that has been built in the lives of the beneficiaries of the goats’ project has yielded very positive results. As and when beneficiaries’ goats multiply, they willingly also donate one to another orphan who has not yet benefited to also receive one for a hopeful future.

Recently Alhassan Yakubu, a beneficiary of the project passed on a goat to Mohammed Mariama to rear and ensure hope of multiplication in the future to assist in meeting educational and family needs.

Breaking the Chains: Saving a Generation from Social Media Addiction

The addiction to social media is a major threat facing this generation. Many young people are trapped in endless scrolling, and it is slowly killing their mental and physical health. At Unite for Africa, we refuse to stand by and watch. One of our key focuses is teaching the young generation about the appropriate use of social media.

Kalu, our outreach director, recently travelled to Wenji Shewa, Ethiopia, where he taught more than 150 young people over two days about the proper use of social media. The sessions were eye-opening and deeply convicting.

During the training, many young people openly confessed that they had messed up their lives through social media addiction. The truth hit home, and hearts began to turn. What a powerful moment of honesty and hope!

This training is ongoing and will be taken to many cities across Ethiopia. We look forward and pray to implement our plan to help many youths in this scenario. The harvest is great, and we are committed to reaching as many as possible.

The training was successful and is already bearing many fruits. The youth have understood how serious this issue is, and they know they need to make a serious decision about it. Some have even entered into continual mentorship sessions.

Kalu is working with these young people consistently, and Dr Okongo is consulting and helping Kalu as he mentors them. This is not just a one-time event—it is a sustained effort to see lives truly transformed.

None of this would be possible without your faithful partnership. Together, we are rescuing a generation from the grip of addiction and pointing them toward abundant life in Christ. Thank you for standing with us.

The Movement of Equipping and Empowering Young Leaders Continues!

Kalu, one of the young disciple makers we have had the privilege of discipling, equipping, and mentoring, recently gathered 30 emerging young leaders from six different churches in Adamafor a three-day training focused on the importance of spiritual and ministry discipline.

It was a tremendous blessing and joy to witness someone we once discipled and invested in now doing the same in the lives of others. This is the heart of disciple-making multiplication: those who have been equipped become equippers; those who have been discipled become disciple makers.

Kalu is doing an excellent job mobilizing a disciple-making movement among young people across churches in the region. Through his leadership, these young believers are being challenged not only to grow in their relationship with Christ but also to embrace the discipline, character, and commitment required to serve God faithfully and influence others.

The training was deeply engaging and transformative. The theme, teaching, and discussion sessions created a safe environment where the young leaders could openly share their personal struggles, ministry challenges, and questions. They encouraged one another, learned from one another, and were challenged to pursue greater spiritual maturity and effectiveness in ministry.

One of the most powerful moments was the extended time of prayer. As the young leaders sought God together, many were deeply touched, strengthened, and renewed in their faith and calling. We trust that what God began in those three days will continue to bear fruit in their lives, their churches, and throughout the region.

Praise God for the multiplication of disciples and leaders! We are grateful to our partners who continue to pray, give, and stand with us in this ministry. Your investment is helping us equip a new generation of Christ-centered leaders who will, in turn, disciple and equip others.

The movement continues from disciple to disciple maker, from one leader to many, and from one church to many churches. To God be all the glory!

LIVING WATER A MIRACLE UNFOLDING AT OLOLEPO
What began as a prayer and a vision for our community is becoming a beautiful testimony of God’s faithfulness. The Ololepo Living Water Springs borehole project has continued through several important stages, and we are grateful to God for bringing us this far.

From the hydrological survey, drilling, reaching the water-bearing formation, installation of the casing, development of the borehole, and now pump testing, we have watched this project move from faith into something we can see and touch.

FROM DRILLING TO WATER
When the drilling began, there was great anticipation in the community. As the drill went deeper, we continued to pray and trust God for a reliable water source. Reaching water was a tremendous encouragement not only for the church and school, but for the wider community that has long faced challenges accessing clean and reliable water.

We have now completed the major drilling works and proceeded to pump testing, an important stage that helps determine the borehole’s sustainable yield and performance over an extended period.

During the testing, community members have already been amazed to see water flowing. People have come to fetch water, and their excitement has been a powerful reminder of why we began this journey.

MORE THAN A BOREHOLE
This water will mean much more than a successful construction project.

It will serve Ololepo and surrounding communities, including families, children, the school, livestock, and potentially help reduce the pressure that brings people and animals into competition for water.

For our school, reliable water will contribute to a healthier and safer learning environment. For families, it means less time and energy spent searching for water. For the community, it represents hope, dignity, health, and opportunity.

WE ARE ALMOST THERE
As we celebrate the progress, there is still work ahead. We need to complete the remaining infrastructure, including the water storage and distribution system, so that the water can reach the people and places it is intended to serve.

We are therefore asking our partners, friends, and supporters to continue praying and standing with us as we take these final steps.

Please pray that the borehole will prove to be a sustainable and reliable source of water, that God will provide the resources needed to complete the project, and that this water will become a blessing to thousands of people for many years to come.

THANK YOU

We deeply appreciate every partner and donor who has believed in this vision and helped bring it this far. What was once only a prayer is now producing water.

We are witnessing a living testimony: God can bring streams out of dry places.

“I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys.” Isaiah 41:18

The drilling brought hope.

The water brought joy.

The pump testing is bringing confirmation.

And soon, the Living Water will flow to the community.

To God be all the glory!

DAUGHTERS OF THE KING: WALKING WITH OUR DAUGHTERS
Daughters of the King rescued, restored, equipped, empowered, and sent.

We give God all the glory for another powerful Daughters of the King Retreat at our Zion Community Training Centre. This was not simply another event, but part of an ongoing journey of walking with, discipling, healing, mentoring, and empowering girls whose lives have been affected by difficult circumstances.

Many of the girls we walk alongside have been rescued from early and forced marriages, the threat of FGM, school dropouts, toxic and abusive relationships, family challenges, poverty, and other situations that have placed their future at risk. Our desire is to help them understand that their past does not have to determine their future.

Through these retreats and our continued follow-up, we create a safe environment where the girls can encounter God, ask difficult questions, share their experiences, and discover their identity and worth in Christ.

MORE THAN A RETREAT
Our teachings go beyond simply encouraging the girls to attend church. We teach them about their identity in Christ, purity, godly relationships, making wise choices, forgiveness, healing from past wounds, overcoming rejection, discovering purpose, leadership, personal responsibility, and becoming women of faith and character.

We also challenge them to believe that they can rise above their circumstances, pursue education, develop skills, build healthy relationships, and become a blessing to others.

These are girls we have been walking with, not girls we meet once and leave behind. The retreat is one part of a continuing journey of discipleship, mentorship, protection, healing, and empowerment.

A STORY OF HOPE
One of the greatest joys of this ministry is seeing girls who once felt forgotten, rejected, or without a future begin to see themselves differently. Through consistent love, prayer, teaching, and mentorship, they are discovering that their lives have value and that their circumstances do not have the final word.

What may begin with a girl simply attending a retreat can become a journey toward healing, restored confidence, returning to school, making better choices, discovering her gifts, and believing again in the future God has prepared for her.

Every changed life reminds us that this ministry is worth continuing.

NOW, WE ASK YOU TO PRAY
Many have now returned to school, work, families, and their communities. Please pray that the seeds planted in their hearts will continue to grow. Pray for protection, spiritual strength, wisdom, healthy relationships, academic success, and open doors.

We are also praying about the next step: practical empowerment. Some of these girls need us to help them start something new through skills training, small businesses, education, mentorship, or income-generating opportunities.

Our goal is not only to rescue girls from difficult circumstances, but to walk with them until they can stand, thrive, and help others rise.

We believe every daughter has a God-given purpose. Together, through prayer, love, discipleship, and practical support, we can help them discover it and live it.

THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNERS AND DONORS
To every partner, donor, prayer warrior, mentor, volunteer, and friend who continues to stand with Unite 4 Africa thank you.

Your generosity is helping create safe spaces, restore hope, strengthen families, and give girls another opportunity to dream. Every prayer, every gift, every word of encouragement, and every sacrifice is part of a story God is writing in the lives of these daughters.

You may never know the full impact of what you have given, but heaven sees it and these girls are living evidence that your partnership matters.

We invite you to continue praying with us as we move from rescue to restoration, from restoration to empowerment, and from empowerment to purpose.

Women’s Healing Retreat:

During the month of August, we had the privilege of bringing women together for a Women’s Healing Retreat held at Zion Church, Mailtisa, under the theme “Restored by Grace: Healing, Hope & Wholeness in Christ.” The retreat was anchored on Psalm 147:3: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

The retreat provided a safe, welcoming, and Christ-centered space where women could step away from the pressures of everyday life and seek God through prayer, worship, biblical teaching, reflection, fellowship, and personal ministry. The women were encouraged to bring their burdens, pain, disappointments, and hopes before God and trust Him for healing and restoration.

We are especially grateful to Dr. Okongo, President of Unite 4 Africa, and the US team for the powerful, inspiring, and life-changing teaching they shared during the retreat. Their biblical insights, encouragement, and commitment to seeing women restored strengthened the hearts and faith of many participants. Their ministry reminded us that God’s grace is sufficient and that no matter what a woman has gone through, there is always hope for healing, restoration, and a new beginning in Christ.

The retreat was a meaningful time of spiritual renewal, encouragement, healing, and fellowship. The women were reminded that their past does not define their future and were encouraged to embrace their identity in Christ, release past hurts, renew their hope, and walk confidently in the purpose God has for their lives.

We sincerely appreciate Unite 4 Africa, Dr. Okongo, the US team, Zion Church, Mailtisa, and everyone who contributed to making this retreat possible. Your support and ministry helped create an environment where women could encounter God, find renewed hope, and begin or deepen their journey toward wholeness.

We believe that when a woman is restored, hope is restored in her family, strength is renewed in her community, and a brighter future becomes possible. May the seeds of healing, hope, and faith planted during this retreat continue to bear lasting fruit in the lives of every woman who participated.

Dignity Pads for Girls Empowerment – Mailtisa

During the month of August, we had the privilege of reaching out to and empowering girls through the distribution of dignity pads, made possible through the generous support of Unite 4 Africa and its partners.

This initiative went beyond providing sanitary products. It was an important step towards restoring dignity, confidence, and hope among girls. Access to menstrual hygiene products enables girls to manage their menstrual cycles with greater comfort and confidence, helping them remain active in school, participate in community activities, and pursue their dreams without unnecessary barriers.

We are grateful to have witnessed the joy and appreciation among the girls who received the dignity pads. For many, this simple yet meaningful support reassures them that their wellbeing matters and that there are people who believe in their potential. Every pad given represents an opportunity for a girl to face each day with greater confidence and dignity.

We sincerely extend our heartfelt appreciation to Unite 4 Africa and all its partners for standing with these girls and investing in their wellbeing and future. Your generosity is making a tangible difference in the lives of young girls and helping to create a community where every girl can grow, learn, dream, and thrive with dignity.

At Unite 4 Africa, we believe that when we empower a girl, we strengthen a family, build a stronger community, and invest in a brighter future. We look forward to continuing this journey together and reaching even more girls with hope, dignity, and practical support.

Motorbikes for Pastors: Empowering the Gospel in Rural Communities

Unite 4 Africa, together with our valued partners, had the joy and privilege of providing three local pastors with motorbikes to support and strengthen their ministry.

For many pastors serving in rural and remote communities, ministry often involves walking long distances under difficult conditions to preach the Gospel, shepherd their congregations, visit the sick, disciple believers, and reach neighboring villages. These journeys can take hours, leaving pastors physically exhausted and limiting the number of people they can serve.

Through the gift of these motorbikes, we are not simply providing transportation—we are equipping God’s servants to fulfil the Great Commission more effectively. What once required long hours of walking can now be accomplished in a fraction of the time, allowing pastors to reach more communities, respond quickly to those in need, and faithfully care for the flock God has entrusted to them.

This support is already bearing fruit. With greater mobility, these pastors are now able to establish and nurture house churches, planting new places of worship, prayer, and discipleship in communities where the Gospel had never been preached. As God’s Word reaches new hearts, lives are being transformed, hope is being restored, and the Kingdom of God continues to advance.

Beyond ministry, these motorbikes are also a tremendous blessing to the pastors’ families. They provide reliable transportation for daily needs and create opportunities for income-generating activities that help support their households. This practical empowerment enables pastors to care for both their families and their congregations with greater stability and dignity.

We give all the glory to God for making this possible through the generosity of our partners and supporters. Your faithful giving is helping to remove barriers to ministry, strengthen local churches, and send the message of Christ’s love to places that might otherwise remain unreached.

“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” — Romans 10:15

Thank you for partnering with Unite 4 Africa to equip those who faithfully carry the Gospel to the ends of their communities. Together, we are witnessing lives changed, churches planted, and the Kingdom of God expanded—one village at a time.

From a Hungry Teenager to a Respected Kingdom Leader:

One of the greatest joys in ministry is witnessing how God transforms lives and raises faithful leaders for His Kingdom. Pastor Shumi Hordofa is one of those inspiring testimonies—a living example of how God uses His Word and the faithful investment of discipleship to shape future leaders.

Fifteen years ago, Shumi was just a teenage boy who had recently surrendered his life to Jesus Christ. Filled with an extraordinary hunger for God’s Word, he would walk nearly an hour and a half each week to Welenchity town to attend the Bible teaching and leadership training sessions that I was leading. Although he belonged to a different local church, his desire to grow spiritually was greater than any denominational boundary. Week after week, for more than a year, he faithfully participated in these training sessions, eagerly learning the Scriptures and preparing his heart for whatever God had planned.

Looking back, it is clear that God was preparing him during those formative years for a much greater purpose. Through the transforming power of God’s Word and the work of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Shumi matured in his faith, embraced God’s calling, and eventually became a pastor in his local congregation, Meserete Kirstos Church.

Today, God has entrusted him with even greater responsibility. Pastor Shumi currently serves as the Chairperson of the Welenchity Evangelical and Pentecostal Churches Council, providing leadership and unity for more than 33 churches and denominations in the area. His ministry is impacting countless pastors, churches, and communities for the glory of God.

Seeing Pastor Shumi’s journey fills my heart with gratitude and reminds me that no investment in discipling others is ever wasted. Sometimes the seeds we plant through teaching, mentoring, and encouraging young believers may seem small, but in God’s hands they produce an abundant harvest that extends far beyond what we can imagine.

Stories like Shumi’s encourage us to remain faithful in equipping the next generation of Christian leaders. We never know how God will use a young person who is hungry for His Word. Thank you for standing with us through your prayers, encouragement, and generous partnership. Together, we are helping raise leaders who will continue advancing God’s Kingdom for generations to come.

“The things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.” — 2 Timothy 2:2
