About My Family

When I was 16, I ministered in difficult conditions, including refugee camps, where I encouraged others, shared the Word of God, and supported those who were going through difficult conditions. This led to the establishment of United Awakening Baptist Church in Buffalo, New York. Through this ministry, I am committed to preaching the gospel, discipling believers, and helping individuals grow both spiritually and in their daily lives.

I envision a strong, Christ-centered church that serves as a place of worship, transformation, and community support. I believe God has called me to reach the lost, strengthen believers, and raise leaders who will continue His work. I remain fully committed to this calling, trusting that the God who brought me this far will continue to lead, provide, and accomplish His purpose through my life and ministry.

About My Church Plant

Our ministry is centered on preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, discipling believers, and supporting individuals and families as they adjust to life in a new environment. We are committed to teaching biblical truth, encouraging spiritual growth, and equipping members to live out their faith in their daily lives. In addition to spiritual development, our ministry also seeks to address practical needs within our community. Many of our members face challenges, such as language barriers and difficulty finding employment. For this reason, we develop programs such as Bible studies, leadership training, and English language classes to empower our members spiritually and socially.

Our vision is to see lives transformed by the power of the gospel and to establish a strong, growing church that impacts the wider community.

NAMB Church Planting

Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.

Pray

Pray the Lord will provide us with a permanent place of worship. We have a heartfelt desire to secure a permanent place of worship. At present, we do not have our own church building. We rent a space where we are only permitted to gather for approximately two hours each Sunday. This limited access significantly restricts our ability to conduct worship services, Bible studies, leadership training, and other important weekly ministries. Previously, a fellow believer graciously allowed us to use the basement of his home for our gatherings. However, as our congregation continues to grow, that space has become too small to accommodate our members.

Participate

We encourage everyone to participate in church services. Members and the community are invited to participate in Bible study. We encourage partners and supporters who share the desire to see the message of our Lord Jesus Christ spread widely to place their trust in us and support the work of God. Their partnership would greatly help advance this mission.
