Kuza - "to grow" in Swahili

Digital Discipleship Materials for African Youth & Young Adults

We have digital discipleship materials for youth and young adults because 75% of Sub-Saharan Africa is under the age of 35. The internet infrastructure is growing in Africa. By 2027, new undersea cables will bring fiber internet to most of the continent and increase speeds by at least 3x what they currently are. On top of this, companies like Starlink are bringing cheap satellite internet to Africa, making it possible to reach large numbers of Africans with digital evangelism and discipleship tools. With a young population that likes to be online together with a greater internet infrastructure, we believe that Kuza has potential to make a great impact for the kingdom of God.

Kuza has four main arms of digital discipleship materials they are blogs, videos, podcasts, and our app.

Learn About Kuza

Why we developed Kuza

For years our goal was to equip churches to reach youth for Christ. Training pastors in conferences and seminaries was been successful in starting youth ministry in many churches. However, we received feedback from many pastors that they felt they needed help in maintaining their youth ministry's spiritual growth. We thought that a smartphone app, along with other digital resources, was the easiest, quickest, and cheapest means of distribution. To respond to the needs, we developed a team of local Kenyans to produce content for digital platforms for youth and young adults in an African context. We chose the name "Kuza" because it means "to be nurtured" or "to grow" in Swahili.

Kuza Writing Team

Kuza's content development team is made up of youth pastors and people in youth ministry from gospel preaching churches with the heart of helping youth grow spiritually. Kuza desires to create content that is in an African context. Lots of content for youth and youth ministry come from the West, but they are not entirely relevant to local needs. Kuza desires to change that. We have a strong passion for seeing youth grow in their salvation, not just on Sunday but through a daily relationship with Christ.

How We Share Kuza

The beauty of having a digital ministry like Kuza is that we’re able to share Kuza’s content in many different places. We’re able to share Kuza’s podcast via radio, TV, our website, app, and social media. Our blogs and videos are on social media, our website and our app. We also are able to take Kuza’s content and repurpose it a bit to show it on buses in Kenya since the buses have TVs and radios. Kuza also partners with many ministry partners that allow us to post on their social media pages. These ministry partners do wonderful face-to-face ministry, but Kuza helps them to reach further by sharing our content through their social media pages. Our partners do all sorts of ministry, like university ministry, high school ministry, and crisis pregnancy ministry, basketball ministry, small group Bible studies, church-based youth ministries, to name a few. Further, many evangelism-focused ministries use Kuza’s content to help the people they led to Christ with content for discipleship.
