New Covenant Ministries International (NCMI) is a missions organization with dedicated members spanning the United States, Canada, France, and Sweden. United by a shared calling, these men and women came together to bring the message of God’s grace to Africa and beyond after gaining a profound understanding of Christ’s finished work and the transformative power of the New Covenant. Recognizing that many—both believers and non-believers—lack a full grasp of the significance of Christ’s death, resurrection, and ascension, they felt compelled to take action. This led to the birth of NCMI as a platform to spread the life-changing truth of the Gospel to remote regions of Africa and the rest of the world.

Our Vision follows Acts 20:24 in testifying to the Gospel of God’s Grace.
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. —Acts 20:24

Our Mission
Our Mission
Our Vision is to testify to the Gospel of God’s Grace, equipping church leaders in Africa and around the world so that they may be qualified to teach and equip their own people and reaching out to the poor and the needy with love and compassion.
We intend to implement our vision and mission in three ways.
- Testifying to the Gospel of God’s Grace through evangelism and teaching (Acts 20:24
- Equipping the body of Christ (the Church) for the work of ministry by organizing the Ministers of the New Covenant Seminars, Grace Chronicles, and Ukuri Kubohora (The truth that sets free) Conferences (Ephesians 4:11ff/2 Timothy 2:1-2).
- Reaching Out to the widows, orphans and the poor with the Gospel and with material needs to better their lives. This will be done through what is called “UBUNTU PROJECT.” UBUNTU means Grace in Kirundi (the language spoken in Burundi) and it can also mean kindness/humanity.
