Home / Raise Up a Worshiper
Raise up a worshiper
We catch them young, planting the heart of a worshiper in the next generation before the world plants its own seeds. Children can sense God. Teens can declare His glory.
Train them now, not someday
Raise Up a Worshiper is the children and teens arm of East African Gospel Academy. We believe a child has the same capacity to serve God as an adult, and that the church's future is being shaped today.
