ABOUT DISCOVERY

Discovery Africa is a full-time, one-year leadership development program designed and implemented by  Mavuno Church.  The programme empowers and instructs emerging leaders who are passionate about Jesus and intent on pursuing a life of ministry.

We recognise the need for leaders to arise, speak into the societal issues of the day and bring kingdom-focused solutions. Recognising our international platform and mandate, Discovery Africa has attracted participants from African nations such as Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Nigeria, Ghana, Malawi,  DRC,and Zambia.  We have also had participants from Germany and the United States.

Those who join the program are mentored and exposed to great leaders who grow them and sharpen their leadership acumen.  Through our church planting initiative, some of our trainees have been posted to other nations as missionaries.
