Our work
The whole Gospel, for the whole person
Everything we do fits inside the three charitable purposes we are registered for: teaching the Christian faith, advancing education, and relieving poverty. From Rwanda outward to Tanzania, Burundi, Uganda, Congo, and Kenya — here is what that looked like in 2025.
Purpose one · Advancing the Christian faith
Bible teaching that travels where roads don’t
Most of the people we serve will never sit in a seminary or own a study library. But nearly every community has a shared phone with WhatsApp. So that is where we teach — daily, in plain language, at no cost to any learner.
Volunteer instructors based in Canada carry daily teaching sessions across East Africa through WhatsApp — a low-bandwidth channel that reaches leaders even where digital infrastructure is thin. Alongside the daily sessions run a free Bible school, a daily devotional sent to anyone who asks, and printed resources: in 2025, Pastor Fidele’s discipleship book INKINGI Z’ITORERO RYA YESU KRISTO (“The Pillars of the Church of Jesus Christ”) reached twenty discipleship groups across Rwanda in two print runs.
Because East Africa speaks many tongues, the teaching is available in seven languages — including Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, Kiswahili, Luganda, French, and English — prepared carefully with native speakers so that nothing is lost between the lines.
The teaching bears fruit in person, too. In October 2025, KGM’s first mission to Tanzania equipped 150 pastors through leaders’ conferences in the Mwanza and Geita regions and strengthened ten congregations — and it left something behind: weekly Classes of Service, which by year-end were gathering 78 committed learners. In Rwanda, we come alongside small house groups of believers who gather around God’s Word in homes — and our 2026 commitment is to help a new house group take root every month, shepherded year-round by a dedicated Rwandan pastor.
Purpose two · Relieving poverty
Compassionate care for the most vulnerable
Hunger, illness, and sudden disaster remain daily realities for many families we serve. We cannot fix that alone — but love can arrive in practical form, delivered by neighbours who know each family by name.
In 2025 that looked like forty goats given to forty of the most vulnerable families — widows, orphans, households in extreme need — so that relief becomes a livelihood; health coverage for seventy people who had none; first-aid training for rural communities; and emergency help rebuilding a member’s home destroyed by flooding. In years past, our teams have distributed food to hundreds of vulnerable people, with distributions timed to the great feasts of the Christian year.
In 2026, compassionate care continues with food assistance for poor households and support for hospitalized patients who cannot cover their medical costs. It is relief with dignity — and the message it carries is bigger than the gift: God has not forgotten you, and neither has His church.
Purpose three · Advancing education
The GRACE Scholarship Program
Secondary school in East Africa is not free — and for families with no steady income, school fees are the wall between a bright child and any different future. The GRACE Scholarship Program pays those fees for students from the very poorest households, selected openly on academic merit and need.
GRACE is our long-term investment: a scholar supported today becomes a teacher, nurse, pastor, or entrepreneur in the same community tomorrow. In 2026 we are working to expand the program in Rwanda and exploring its first scholarships in Tanzania.
Your giving carries all three
Monthly partners keep daily teaching flowing, compassion arriving, and students at their desks — all at once. Gifts are applied where they are needed most, under the oversight and discretion of our Board of Directors.
