RELEASING ABUNDANCE
We’re discipling enterprises that lead Africa into abundance. When faith, identity, and productive work meet, people cease to be defined by poverty and lack.
THE PROBLEM
Africa is rich in land, faith, and skills, yet poverty persists despite decades of aid. Traditional charity models have often created dependency and failed to stimulate local economies. Traditional church models have focused on saving souls but fallen short in empowering Africans to overcome poverty in their everyday lives.
THE SOLUTION
At Parousia Life, we believe in a new path: a Discipleship-Based Economy. Our work embeds discipleship into economic value chains and equips churches and leaders for economic renewal. We are raising a new generation that creates value, stewards local assets, and rebuilds communities from a foundation of faith, dignity, and abundance through enterprise.
The Turning Point - Dignity Over Dependency
In 2014, a funding shortage forced us to let go of nearly half the children in our care, not because they didn’t need help, but because the money ran out.
In 2015, we made a bold decision: to stop building dependency and start discipling people into dignity. We began investing in local enterprises that empowered families to generate their own income, moving from donations to sustainable transformation.
OUR STORY
OUR PILLARS
We believe that to release abundance, we must train ecosystem leaders, disciple value chain players, and build enterprises that integrate faith with purpose.
We equip churches, pastors, and entrepreneurs to become hubs for discipleship-based enterprise, releasing ventures that glorify God and renew locally-designed value chains.
TRAINING
Our discipleship work is embedded in every economic value chain where individuals grow in faith, business skills, ethics, leadership, and economic purpose.
DISCIPLESHIP
We co-create and fund ventures that unite faith, purpose, and profit, empowering community ownership that restores dignity and builds systems that go beyond charity and dependency.
