WHO WE ARE

Serving the Church Through Indigenous Leadership and Disciple-Making Movements

Lifting the Sinkers Global Ministries equips indigenous believers, strengthens local churches, makes and multiplies disciples, supports reproducing house churches, and mobilizes believers for mission across Northern Nigeria and the Sahel corridors.

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

A Message from the Executive Director

Welcome, and thank you for visiting Lifting the Sinkers Global Ministries.

Our world is changing rapidly, yet the Great Commission remains unfinished. Across Northern Nigeria, millions still live without meaningful access to the Gospel, while many churches lack the resources and leadership needed to reach their communities effectively. We believe this challenge is also an extraordinary opportunity for the Church to respond with faith, courage, and unwavering commitment.

Lifting the Sinkers Global Ministries was established to equip and mobilize indigenous believers to advance the Gospel where it is needed most. By investing in local leaders, strengthening churches, training missionaries, and multiplying disciple-making movements, we are helping build sustainable Kingdom impact that reaches far beyond a single generation.

Everything we do is driven by one conviction: the Gospel transforms lives, and local believers are uniquely positioned to bring that transformation to their own communities. Our role is to encourage, equip, and serve them as they faithfully make disciples and establish reproducing churches among unreached peoples.

This work is possible because of faithful partners who pray, give, encourage, and serve alongside us. Whether you are here to learn more, explore partnership opportunities, or discern how God may use you in this mission, I am grateful for your visit and invite you to become part of what God is accomplishing.

Thank you for your interest in Lifting the Sinkers Global Ministries.

Together, we can strengthen the Church, equip indigenous leaders, reach unreached peoples, and help fulfill the Great Commission across Northern Nigeria and beyond.

In Christ,Jerry R. AnzeExecutive Director

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

One Mission. Four Expressions.

Our mission is expressed through four interconnected priorities: evangelism, discipleship, church planting, and missions mobilization. Together, they form a practical pathway for strengthening the Church and advancing the Gospel across Northern Nigeria and the Sahel corridors.

01

Evangelism

Proclaim the Gospel among unreached and underserved communities throughout Northern Nigeria and the wider Sahel corridors, prioritizing ministry among least-reached peoples, particularly the Fulani and Kanuri.

02

Discipleship

Make and multiply disciples by equipping believers to follow Jesus deeply, establish healthy house churches, and raise mature spiritual leaders.

03

Church Planting

Establish and strengthen multiplying, indigenous, locally led house churches that can reproduce across communities and generations.

04

Missions Mobilization

Mobilize believers, churches, students, and ministry partners to pray, give, go, and actively engage in the Great Commission while supporting missionaries and indigenous leaders.

FROM CONVICTION TO ACTION

A Clear Pathway to Lasting Gospel Witness

We equip indigenous believers, strengthen local churches, reach unreached communities, and multiply disciple-making movements—four connected steps toward lasting, locally led Gospel witness.

01

Equip Indigenous Believers

Invest in indigenous believers who understand the language, culture, and relationships of their communities.

02

Strengthen Local Churches

Encourage indigenous believers to make disciples, establish healthy churches, and multiply lasting Gospel movements across generations.

03

Reach Unreached Communities

Serve people and places where meaningful access to the Gospel remains limited.

04

Multiply Disciple-Making Movements

Encourage locally led churches and disciples who can reproduce for generations.

WHY NORTHERN NIGERIA AND THE SAHEL CORRIDORS?

A Strategic Mission Field

Northern Nigeria combines profound spiritual need with significant Gospel opportunity. Many communities have limited access to healthy, locally rooted churches, yet indigenous believers are uniquely positioned to lead with language, trust, cultural understanding, and long-term presence.

Because the region connects communities across the wider Sahel, strengthening local Christian witness in Northern Nigeria can serve families, churches, and emerging leaders far beyond one location.
