Testimonials

“Each Sunday we’re learning something that helps us connect with people who don’t know Jesus. Something is changing in our congregation. It’s more than just telling information—it’s about making a connection and creating bridges and building relationships. Now people are greeting each other, knowing each other’s names. Something important is happening in the congregation. It’s creating a community.”

Sis. Sarai
Centro Bíblico Restauración y Vida

“At the beginning it was difficult because it was a new practice. Now it’s become second nature and they are happy to be interacting with each other. People used to think only pastors could pray for others, but now everyone in the church does it. People are visiting each other, praying for each other, even going to hospitals to pray for the sick. It’s no longer just for a certain group—it’s for everyone.”

Pastor Safari
Communauté des Eglises Baptistes Libres au Congo

“Activate came at the perfect time. It’s been strengthening our missions focus. Not everyone wanted to be involved in neighborhood ministry and would say, ‘What do I share? What do I say? Mission is so big. How do I do it?’ 5 Minute Mission makes it so easy. It breaks down the big responsibility into something accessible like, ‘I just have to talk to someone and build relationship.’”
