WILBERFORCE INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE

GLOBAL (AFRICA) FLOURISHING PROJECT: Wilberforce International Institute exists "To equip internationals to bring Christ-centered transformation to their societies." To this end we employ a long-term strategy of education and mentoring of internationals as they study in both the USA and abroad. We continue this mentoring process as they develop into Wilberforce Fellows who have developed and implemented their own redemptive projects in their home societies. All Wilberforce Fellows are expected to share and reproduce their redemptive work with other likeminded people in their home communities. In 2024 Wilberforce pioneered a new project, the Global Flourishing Project (GFP). The aim of this project is to work with our existing internationals to build schools teaching basic entrepreneurship that focus on anti-corruption and bringing about redemptive change in local communities. We began the GFP with a pilot project in Zomba, Malawi in June and August 2024. We partnered with the MINTS Seminary in Zomba and their students. We successfully taught basic college level courses in Entrepreneurship and Marketing to nearly 40 students. We also worked to provide MINTS with StarLink internet and basic PowerPoint project capabilities which we achieved through a gift from a generous donor. We offered five courses in 2025.

MENTORING AND ASSOCIATED MINISTRY TO STUDENTS: Mentoring more than 50 international students to be redemptive change agents in their home societies and associated ministry services to the broader student population. Provided ministry services to more than 50 other international and American students, former students, academics, and others. The major accomplishment and event this year was the expansion of the Global Flourishing Project.
