As I look back over these three decades of Life In Abundance International, my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude. What began as a whispered instruction on a quiet walk along the shores of Mombasa in 1993 has become a global movement of wholistic transformation. On that day, the Lord spoke clearly: “Establish a Christian health organization for my use.” What seemed then like a small beginning has grown into a testimony of His faithfulness that has touched nations and generations.
Thirty years later, as I walked along that same beach, I was deeply moved by how completely God had fulfilled what He had spoken. What was once a simple call to serve the poor through the local church has become a flourishing ministry spanning fourteen countries, three partnership offices, and a growing global institute equipping the body of Christ. Truly, the vision awaited its appointed time, but it did not delay.
Through the obedience of many faithful men and women, over 3,075 churches have been envisioned and empowered to serve their communities. Together with these churches, more than 2.4 million individuals have been wholistically impacted. Among them, 75,074 have come to faith in Christ, 487,204 have been discipled and trained as community leaders and trainers, and 332,117 orphans and vulnerable children have been given hope and sustainable solutions for their future. Over 1 million individuals have received primary healthcare, and 156,534 children have been supported through early childhood and primary education programs. Furthermore, 123,184 individuals have been economically empowered through microloans and skills training—evidence of lives restored and communities transformed.
Each number tells a story of grace. Each face reflects the heart of Christ who came that we might have life and have it abundantly. This journey has not been without challenge; it has been marked by faith, perseverance, and the unfailing guidance of the Holy Spirit. Yet, through every season, God has proven Himself faithful.
As we step into the next chapter, we do so grounded in the principles that have carried us thus far: remaining Spirit-led, unwavering in our mission to empower the local church, faithful to all God has entrusted to us, and committed to partnership and an Africa-led vision. We look ahead with anticipation to what God will continue to do through the LIA Global Institute, through our national teams, and through every church that bears His light in the darkest places.
To our partners, board members, and friends around the world—thank you for believing, praying, giving, and standing with us. To our teams in the field—thank you for living out the Gospel daily in service to others. Above all, we give glory to the Lord, who has done glorious things. May His name be praised among the nations.
With deep gratitude and unwavering hope,
Dr. Florence Muindi
