About Anna
Anna is not highly educated or exceptionally well-trained, but she loves God and wants to share HIs life-changing power with the people in her community. She is a woman after God’s own heart. After praying about what to do, Anna felt God calling her to sell her home and move into a highly saturated Muslim village to share Jesus with the people there. Anna obeyed God and now has a growing community of believers that she is discipling.
Anna is now in her fifties. After receiving Jesus as her Savior, she made the decision to be trained as a church planter. Part of Multiplication Network's training is to determine the best place to start a new church, and God directed Anna to the town of Mbwigu. Anna immediately contacted the village leader and his wife, Siwadaha. Siwadaha was struggling with an illness and Anna prayed for her healing. God heard Anna’s prayers and Siwadaha was healed! Jesus did what her witch doctors could not and as a result, Siwadaha and her husband both came to believe in the power of Jesus.
Currently, there are thousands of church planters, like Anna, across the globe who have been called by God to share the Gospel of Jesus with friends, family, neighbors, village leaders, and strangers. They, by showing up and sharing God’s love, have created groups of believers who meet regularly to worship, fellowship, and support one another as they grow in faith together. They meet in homes, under a tree, in coffee shops, and in a variety of structures. These are churches planted by individuals who received a call from God, were trained using Multiplication Network modules, and were obedient to God’s calling.
Imagine a movement of women around the world coming together to support and equip church planters, like Anna! Research shows that for every church planter trained by Multiplication Network, 1.83 churches are started!
