What if one person’s faith could transform entire communities—and even nations?
In this inspiring episode, Bishop David Muniri Thagana shares how God led him from a traditional upbringing to founding Glory Outreach Assembly (GOA)—a movement reaching across Africa and beyond.
You’ll hear how a single Bible in high school and a burden for the unreached sparked a vision that grew from just five churches in 2001 to more than 270 today. Bishop Thagana opens up about caring for orphans (now over 1,000 served), building peace in Rwanda and Kenya, and helping believers live out the Great Commission through GOA’s Acts 1:8 strategy.
The conversation pushes past surface statistics. Kenya may report 85% Christian affiliation, yet nominal faith often masks unreached tribes like the Samburu and Turkana, some of whom had never heard the name of Jesus. Bishop David explains how GOA targets people groups rather than political borders, and why that shift matters for any leader who wants real impact. We also explore the compassion engine behind their work: the story of Boniface, a street boy clutching shoemaker’s glue to numb hunger, who became the first of more than a thousand children cared for through eight homes, education, and mentorship that turns rescued kids into leaders.
Whether you’re a pastor, entrepreneur, or community leader, you’ll gain timeless lessons on faith, stewardship, and multiplying impact through Christ-centered leadership.
