We exist to strengthen, equip, and stand with the persecuted underground church in Somalia and among the Somali diaspora. Our work is carried out with wisdom, discretion, and a deep commitment to the safety of believers.
Here are our five main areas of ministry:
1. Leadership and Capacity-Building for Persecuted Underground House Churches
We provide biblical leadership training, discipleship resources, and practical equipping for emerging leaders and house-church elders. Through secure, context-sensitive programs (such as the Biblical Foundations of Leadership series), we help believers grow in character, shepherding, integrity, and multiplication so the underground church can become stronger and more resilient under pressure.
2. Advocacy for Freedom
We advocate for religious freedom and the protection of Somali Christians at both local and international levels. This includes raising awareness, partnering with human rights organizations, and calling for policy changes that uphold the basic right of individuals to follow Christ without fear of violence, imprisonment, or death.
3. Church Planting
We support the safe and strategic multiplication of healthy underground house churches across Somalia and in Somali communities abroad. Our focus is on biblical, indigenous, and self-sustaining fellowships that are rooted in Scripture and able to withstand persecution while reaching new believers.
4. Scripture Placement
We work to make God’s Word available to Somali believers through secure and discreet means including audio Bibles, memorized Scripture training, micro-SD cards, and other appropriate technology so that even in the most restricted areas, Christians can access and grow in the truth of Scripture.
5. Children and Women Ministry
We support specialized ministry to children and women in the persecuted church. This includes safe discipleship materials for children of believers, trauma care, literacy programs, and encouragement for women who often carry heavy burdens in secret while raising the next generation of the church in Somalia.
All our work is carried out with the highest regard for security, wisdom, and the long-term strength of the Somali church. We labor in the shadows so that Christ may be glorified openly one day in Somalia.
