What your giving does
Daily biblical teaching across East Africa through WhatsApp, plus a free Bible school, devotionals, and printed discipleship books — in seven languages, at no cost to any learner. In 2025, 150 pastors were trained and weekly Classes of Service began gathering 78 committed learners.
Bible teaching →
Food for poor households, help with hospital bills, and livestock for widows and orphans. In 2025 alone: forty vulnerable families received goats to build a livelihood, and seventy people came under health coverage.
Compassionate care →
Secondary school in East Africa is not free. The GRACE Scholarship Program keeps bright students from the very poorest households in school and full of hope — in Rwanda first, and expanding across the region.
GRACE scholarships →Our founder
Pastor Fidele Bolton was born in Gasundwe, a remote village in Rwanda, and walked over an hour to primary school each day. Years later — after theological training in England and pastoral ministry there — he returned to Gasundwe and saw his home with new eyes.
Fidele now lives in the Ottawa–Gatineau region with his wife Claire and their children, and leads Knowing God Missions as a volunteer — a son of the village, inviting Canadians to serve alongside him in a work that now reaches six countries across East Africa.
