About the Foundation
A legacy of faith, education, service and opportunity.
Pastor Ezra Mpyisi · 1922 to 2024
The Foundation was established to continue the lifelong legacy of Pastor Ezra Mpyisi, a legacy founded on faith, education, service, and the belief that lives can be transformed through knowledge, skills and opportunity.
It combines Christian ministry with practical educational and skills development work, to help individuals and communities build better futures.
The Founder. Pastor Ezra Mpyisi devoted his life to Christian ministry, education and service. His ministry spanned several African countries and generations, with a strong emphasis on understanding God's Word, education, personal responsibility and service to others.
The Foundation carries this legacy forward by translating those values into practical programmes that touch people's lives.
His legacy continues through every Bible shared, every student trained, and every life given an opportunity and hope.

Foundation Programmes
Three programmes. One mission.
Education, the Bible School and Bible Distribution. Everything the Foundation does stands on these three.
01
Education
Skills for life. Skills for employment.
The Foundation supports young people to acquire practical skills through Technical and Vocational Education and Training, with particular attention to those from disadvantaged backgrounds who may not continue through conventional academic education.
Through partnerships with TVET institutions, it equips young people with employable skills that lead to employment, self employment and entrepreneurship. Five students are scheduled to begin Foundation supported TVET training in January 2027.
Where it can, the Foundation also helps primary school children return to school after being sent home for want of supplies or a school lunch.
02
Bible School
Growing in knowledge and faith.
Bible teaching was at the heart of Pastor Ezra Mpyisi's ministry. Today the Foundation's Bible School is active, with approximately 40 students taking part in Bible studies.
The programme gives participants a structured way to deepen their understanding of Scripture, strengthen their faith, and build their ability to share God's Word with others.
As it develops, the Foundation intends to widen its reach and bring Bible education to many more people.
03
Bible Distribution
Making God's Word accessible.
The Foundation believes that everyone who wants to read and understand the Bible should have access to one. It provides Bibles to individuals, families, schools, churches, Bible study groups and communities.
Approximately 3,000 Bibles have been distributed to date. One Bible costs 15,000 FRW.
Distribution is paired with Bible study, so that people are encouraged not only to own a Bible but to read it, study it and understand it.

Building a Sustainable Foundation
Programmes that keep serving, generation after generation.
The sustainability strategy is built around three approaches.
Approach one
Strategic Partnerships
The Foundation seeks partnerships with corporate organisations, churches, faith based institutions, educational institutions, development partners, foundations and individuals.
Partnerships may involve financial support, sponsorship of beneficiaries, technical expertise, provision of materials, joint programmes or other forms of collaboration.
Approach three
Events
Bringing people together for a purpose. Film premieres and screenings, religious musical concerts, inspirational events, Bible conferences, educational forums, beneficiary showcases and partnership events.
The purpose extends beyond fundraising. Events educate, inspire, create awareness, build partnerships, mobilise volunteers, celebrate achievements and strengthen communities.
Approach two
Faith-Based Film Series
Stories that inspire action. The Foundation produces faith based films telling stories of faith, education, resilience, service and transformed lives. These films are intended to achieve much more than fundraising.
Spread messages of faith, hope and Christian values.
Raise awareness about the needs of disadvantaged children and young people.
Give beneficiaries an opportunity to tell their stories.
Demonstrate the impact of education and skills development.
Preserve and share the legacy of Pastor Ezra Mpyisi.
Inspire service and generosity.
Reach younger and international audiences.
Attract partners and supporters.
Build a community around the Foundation's mission.
Generate resources to sustain and expand Foundation programmes.
Every film tells a story. Every story can inspire action.
Rent that is due. A diagnosis. A door that will not open.
Each episode sits inside one real situation and follows it to the place where planning runs out. Nothing is tidied up.
Made in Rwanda. Free to watch. Always.
Faith is not something you feel. It is something you do.
