Your Gift Doubled — Help Us Reach $30,000!
This North Texas Giving Day, we're raising $30,000 to build a Guest House in Uganda — a home away from home for the North Texans who travel across the world to invest in the next generation of African leaders. Thanks to a generous $15,000 matching gift, every dollar you give will be doubled until we reach the match.
That means:
- Your $50 gift becomes $100.
- Your $250 gift becomes $500.
- Your $1,000 gift becomes $2,000.
Together, we can unlock the full $15,000 match and reach our $30,000 goal. Don't wait — your doubled gift helps build a place for North Texas partners to rest and reconnect as they carry hope across the world.
Give today and see your impact multiplied!
A Home Away From Home
When North Texans travel to Uganda, the Guest House will be waiting for them: a warm, comfortable place to stay, rest, and connect before and after the work of the day. It's where partners will gather with LAU staff and students, share meals, and build the relationships that make this partnership real.
The Guest House ensures our North Texas community is welcomed with the same warmth and hospitality LAU shows every guest who walks through its doors.
We invest in people, not projects.
- Our leadership development programs build capacity for sustainable change.
- World-class academics pave the way for young leaders to take positions of influence in their countries.
- Entrepreneurs learn the skills to build their business and create jobs in an oversaturated market.
- Discipleship initiatives create a multiplying Gospel impact across East Africa.
When you give today, your gift funds a home away from home for travelers in Uganda and fuels the relationships that will shape the next generation of transformational leaders.
Give today, and help North Texas show up for LAU in a lasting way!
Mission
Cultivate a pipeline of Discipled Nation Builders in East Africa—Christ-centered leaders who will transform their communities and countries spiritually, socially, and economically for generations to come.
Our Solution: Build From Within
At 4africa, we believe real transformation starts with Christ-centered leaders. We're not here to fix things for a moment—we're here to disciple people for a lifetime. Since 2014, 4africa has been building a pipeline of Discipled Nation Builders: young East African leaders who are not only introduced to the gospel but discipled to live it out and multiply it in every area of life.
A Discipled Nation Builder is someone who knows and lives a Jesus-first life, puts others before themselves, and relentlessly pursues living out their purpose, passion, and calling to make generational change.
Our unique 10-year LEAD program emphasizes quality over quantity with a long-term approach. Through our LEAD program, we walk alongside students from high school through adulthood, shaping leaders who transform their communities from within. Africans solving African problems.
The best future young leaders in East Africa are recruited to join our LEAD Academies and trained in our LEAD model to become Discipled Nation Builders. They join a community of alumni called the LEAD Network and begin pursuing their future. Rooted in Christ, they join the workforce, start businesses, raise families, and disciple others. The extraordinary ones fill positions of influence and drive transformational change.
We're already seeing the impact. Our graduates are becoming pastors, lawyers, politicians, educators, and entrepreneurs. Each leader we equip influences thousands more through their profession and faith.
Africa doesn't need more charity. It needs strategic Kingdom investment in Christ-centered leaders who will influence their countries and communities. But time is critical. By 2030, young Africans will make up 42% of global youth. The decisions we make today will shape not just Africa's future, but the world's.
Needs
We're inviting our community to join us in raising $30,000 to help build a Guest House at the Leadership Academy of Uganda.
This space is more than a building—it's the foundation for relationships that:
Welcome donors, partners, and visiting leaders with warmth and hospitality.
Create a home base for the cross-cultural friendships that fuel LAU's mission.
Ensure North Texas partners have a place to rest, reconnect, and invest in the next generation of East African leaders for years to come.
