ECLEA 2025 YEAR-END REPORT 2025 has been another productive and effective year for ECLEA. New ECLEA books and translations have been completed, and ECLEA has now expanded to include the countries of Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, and Ethiopia! There is a sad note, however. Our friend and former missionary teacher, Frank Cummings, passed away in April. He will be missed. Here are some of the year’s highlights:
ECLEA-USA IN EAST AFRICA
Jonathan’s work in East Africa I was again able to make five trips to East Africa. In Burundi I taught Biblical Eschatology and the book of Jonah. In Kenya I taught the books of Revelation, Galatians, and our books on The Church and Is Christianity True? (our book on apologetics). In Tanzania, I taught Revelation and Is Christianity True? In Rwanda I taught Is Christianity True? And in Uganda I taught Biblical Marriage & Parenting and Expository Preaching.
I also participated in a number of graduation ceremonies for graduates who had gone through our materials over a period of years. This is important, because some East African governments are now requiring that pastors have a formal theological education. Our materials meet those requirements, and the students who go through our courses get recognized certificates, diplomas, and degrees! This will have a lasting impact on the health and strength of the churches in East Africa for years and years to come. While in Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda, I also met with and taught the ECLEA leaders of those countries. I think this is very important and hope to continue to do this in the future. You can see my reports on the ECLEA News & Blog page of the ECLEA website. (http://www.eclea.net/news.html).
Paul and Rosemary Nelsen’s work in East Africa Paul and Rosemary Nelsen did not teach in East Africa this year. But Paul, even now, is leading a medical mission in Kenya. The Nelsens have been invited by Protais Nshogoza, ECLEA-Rwanda’s national coordinator, to come to Rwanda and teach. They hope to do that in the near future.
Jacob and Jamie Boldig’s work in East Africa Jake and Jamie Boldig led ECLEA’s first official outreach to Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in December 2024. They were accompanied by Protais Nshogoza of Rwanda, Stephen Sempala of Uganda, and others. Jake reported that “We accomplished much of what we came to do despite facing challenges that are to be expected in an exploratory trip such as this in a country suffering from war currently and for most of the past 30 years.” It was an amazingly full trip of meetings, teachings, and establishing ECLEA-DRC leadership structures and teaching centers. His report is on the DRC page of the ECLEA website. At the end of this month, Jake and Jamie will be returning to DRC!
ALL-AFRICAN ECLEA TRAINING CONFERENCES ECLEA’s name reflects what we stand for: we equip church leaders of East Africa so they can equip others. As a result, the vast majority of ECLEA’s work is done by the East Africa church leaders themselves! In 2025 our East African ECLEA teams kept moving forward, teaching at the different centers they have established in each of the countries of East Africa. As a result, hundreds of ECLEA training conferences are conducted indigenously throughout East Africa and, as noted above, in each of the countries, our materials are also being taught as part of formal and government-recognized theological schools created or arranged for by our East African ECLEA leaders. Reports from the all-African training conferences are available on the individual country pages of the ECLEA website (www.eclea.net).
EXPANSION! I have always gone to Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. However, the East Africa Community has been officially expanded to now include Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, and South Sudan. We have on several occasions been asked to teach outside of the five countries I go to—and now we are doing it! * In December 2024, Jake and Jamie Boldig, accompanied by Bishop Sempala and Protais Nshogoza, went to DRC to teach and establish an ECLEA organization there. While there, they taught and developed relationships with local coordinators, pastors, political leaders, refugee and military camps, potential supporters with resources, and formalized a partnership with Goma Baptist Seminary. (ECLEA works with numerous Protestant denominations.) They will be returning to DRC at the end of this month. * Pastor David Njeru, of Nairobi, Kenya, is ECLEA's Africa Expansion Program Coordinator. He is a pastor-teacher with Transformation Ministries - Kabiria Church in Nairobi, Kenya. David also operates in the apostolic calling with a precise mandate of opening cities and nations to the Gospel. He has over 27 years experience in ministry, serving the Lord in diverse backgrounds. David is a celebrated author with over 5 books in his credit. David is spearheading ECLEA's expansion into Malawi and Ethiopia. In addition to personally going to Malawi and Ethiopia to teach, David is appointing national coordinators in those countries to continue ECLEA's work indigenously. So far, he has made two trips to Malawi (in Feb and Sept 2025) and one trip to Ethiopia (in April 2025). After his second trip to Malawi, David commented, “As the Africa Coordinator, may I express my heartfelt gratitude to ECLEA and the generous support from partners. You have touched so many African pastors and leaders here in Malawi who could not have benefitted if it were not for your consistent support.” Further, David has just spoken with Ababu Minda, an Ethiopian native now living in Canada, who is soon to be returning to Ethiopia to spread the word concerning ECLEA. David states that he has arranged for Ababu to get in touch with Solomon Kebede Tessema, ECLEA’s contact person in Ethiopia, so that Ababu “can plug into the ECLEA system in Ethiopia in the near future when you finally settle down from Canada in July or August as you intimated. Meanwhile, we have an elaborate extension plan for ECLEA in Ethiopia. The plan is being implemented in phases and so far so good.” See David’s reports on the Ethiopia and Malawi pages of the ECLEA website.
ECLEA BOOK TRANSLATIONS Translating our books into the major East African languages is a hugely important part of what ECLEA does, since few other good theological resources are available in the indigenous African languages. They are also being used in formal theological schools. These books will continue to have an impact for generations. * Translations of several of our books also were completed in 2025. These include the Kinyarwanda translation of Biblical Literacy and Ruth, the Acoli translation of 1 Timothy, the Luganda translations of Is Christianity True? and 1 John, and the Runyankore translations of Biblical Eschatology, 1 John, 1 Peter, Ephesians, Esther, Galatians, Habakkuk, James, Jonah, Mark, and Ruth. * All of our books, translations, and video lectures are on the “ECLEA Courses & Resources” page of the website: http://www.eclea.net/courses.html. The video lectures (as well as videos of other matters pertaining to East Africa and ECLEA’s work) also are on the ECLEA YouTube video channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpN8YUjt8zpi9iKfcuozxJw.
THE IMPACT OF ECLEA ECLEA’s mission is: “Deep Foundations=>Healthy Churches=>Transformed Lives.” Here are some comments from East Africans I have received this year concerning the impact ECLEA is having: * Stephano Edward (Tanzania): I am one among many who have participated in one of the classes. Surely the course on Apologetics [Is Christianity True?] is very crucial to the church especially in our nations here in East Africa and Africa at large. It is said, "Prevention is better than cure". This is what the course about Apologetics does to us here in Africa. The church in the West is already suffering from naturalistic views and evolution theories, etc. I hope even the church in the West can be helped by the contents in this well prepared lesson on apologetics. * Bishop Lawrence Maliki (Kenya): I have been going through your teachings entitled, EQUIPPING CHURCH LEADERS, EAST AFRICA, THEME: BIBLICAL STEWARDSHIP. This is incredible teaching that every child of God would need. Such teachings are the true teachings your brothers and church leaders in Kenya and across East Africa need. * Zemen Endale (Ethiopia): Greetings and thank you for your materials. I am using them for my life and ministry both in our church and in our pastoral training center in Ethiopia. Thank you and God bless. * Paul Batambuze (Uganda): Thank you for the great work you're doing to promote God's work especially among the very poor community church members in rural areas. Your Biblical training approach is unique, down to earth even to the least at the grassroot is timely. God bless you abundantly. * Patrice Nduwimana (Burundi): I really appreciate the work that you are doing. to prepare tools for church Leaders. Pastors who went through ECLEA books are really making a difference in their local churches. If you look at the way they lead people, the way they teach and preach, the way they organize things is really different from the way they used to.
LOOKING AHEAD By God’s grace we will continue moving forward in all areas in 2026. We take seriously Christ’s commission to go “to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). What is happening in East Africa, and now beyond (!) is BIG. Few others are doing what we are doing. No ministry is doing church leader training or preparing and translating excellent books on the scale that ECLEA does. These books go to the heart of what Christians and church leaders need. YOU are making this possible!
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE * Giving opportunities: 100% of donations goes to the work of the ministry. Your financial support is necessary (it enables us to go “to the ends of the earth,” translate our books into the indigenous languages, and also helps facilitate the all-African training conferences). It is paying great dividends (as I hope you see from the above report). Giving can be done through the website (http://www.eclea.net/contact.html), automatic fund transfers can be arranged through your bank, or checks (payable to ECLEA) can be sent to the ECLEA office at 714 S. Summit St., Appleton, WI 54914.
* To contact ECLEA's treasurer: If you wish to contact Jacob Boldig, ECLEA’s treasurer, his number is 920-209-1477 and his email address is jacobboldig@gmail.com.
* We value your input and suggestions. Let us know what you think! If you no longer wish to receive these updates, please let us know, and I will be happy to remove you from the mailing list.
We wish you a joyous Christmas and a Happy New Year!

October 2025
I have returned to Uganda, the first country in Africa I came to, 20 years ago. Stephen Sempala and I have been in the greater Masaka area, in western Uganda.
We began with a class on Biblical Marriage and Parenting. I always make sure that my African companions teach much of this course, because culture is such a large influence in the marriage and parenting relationships. We had 16 participants, equally divided between men and women. They appreciated the insights and engaged in much discussion, especially when Stephen was teaching. They are planning on doing this course again, specifically for husbands and wives together.
 Marriage & Parenting students Schoolkids next to our class
We then went to a different venue and did Expository Preaching for a group of 18 participants. I teach them a unified theory of preaching, which is rather different from the way most East Africans typically preach. After going over theory and basics, I emphasized the purpose of the introduction (to raise the issue or problem of life the passage deals with), the proposition (the one big point of the passage/sermon), the organizational sentence (how many parts the sermon will have), and application. We concentrated on analyzing John 1:29-34.
 Expository Praching Class
With enough discussion, most participants seemed to understand fairly well. Because we were limited to two days, there was not time for the participants to preach. However, I preached on the passage, and then the participants discussed and critiqued it. The seemed to make clear what we had been talking about. I hope they will practice on their own what we learned. It would make a big difference in their effectiveness.
On Saturday, we had the 4th graduation from the ECLEA program in the greater Masaka area. Certificates, diplomas, degrees, and one post-graduate degree were awarded to a total of 27 graduates. This will have a long-lasting impact throughout Uganda. This will have another important effect, namely, as has been true in Rwanda, the government in Uganda has been threatening to close churches if the pastors are nor formally trained. ECLEA is standing in the gap in the front lines, to provide such training and thereby keep the churches open.
 The Graduates
On Saturday I returned from two weeks in Uganda. After being in the greater Masaka area the first week, Bishop Sempala and I took the ferry to Buvuma Island. There we did Expository Preaching for a group of 13 interested students. As was true with the Expository Preaching class the first week, the material we presented was largely new to the participants. However, it gave them a good and coherent approach to preaching which, if they try to apply it, should significantly improve their effectiveness. I hope and pray that they will give it an effort.
 Our venue (the church) on Buvuma Island Kids who met us when we landed on the island
Following that class, we participated in the very first graduation on Buvuma Island. The seven graduates had gone through our ECLEA courses and learned much. They were happy and proud to receive their diplomas. Their presence on the island as graduates is important, since there are a number of Muslims on Buvuma (I saw two mosques, including one very near the church which was our venue). These graduates can be a good witness on the island, both to Muslims and to the Christians and others who live there.
 Buvuma Expository Preaching class Graduates headed to the ceremony
Yesterday, I received an email from Bishop Sempala in which he said, "Your visit has ignited fresh hunger and momentum in the work of equipping the saints across the nation. As a result, there is a growing demand for more ECLEA training centers in both the areas you visited and beyond. By God's grace, the leaders who have been trained are now stepping forward with a strong desire to continue teaching and expanding this work so they may be approved by the Higher Council of Education." In short, what ECLEA is doing in Uganda and throughout East Africa (and now beyond) is making a big difference. Thank you for your support--both prayer support and financial support.

AUGUST 2025
I have just completed my first week here in Rwanda. This trip is dedicated to teaching our book on apologetics, Is Christianity True? (A revised edition of the book has been published by Wipf & Stock Publishers and is available on Amazon.) This course is of great importance. Even though the philosophy of naturalism has not completely taken over the educational system here, as it has in the West, it is increasingly becoming dominant. The government schools are pushing undirected evolution, there are few Christian schools, homeschooling is not allowed, the government has shut down thousands of churches, and not many church leaders are even aware of the issues.
In the book, we deal with, as I see it, the three central issues Christians must be aware of: (1) the trustworthiness and reliability of the Bible and who Jesus Christ is (i.e., God himself come to earth as a man); (2) the impossibility of the contrary (i.e., naturalism cannot even account for itself); and (3) the great objection to Christianily, the "problem of evil" (i.e., if God is all good and all powerful, why is there so much evil?).
Our first session took place in a still-open church in Nyamata, with about 36 participants. Our second session, in Kigali, was with a group of about 12 younger people who are affiliated with the evangelistic organization "We Go To Them." The second session, in particular, was characterized by many questions that went to the heart of things, such as explaining the Trinity, what is the Gospel (which is set forth in Appendix 1 of the book), and a long discussion on forgiveness and reconciliation. When I see the relentless efforts by non- and anti-Christian forces in many societies, even such nominally "Christian" societies as Rwanda, I am thankful for what God has called ECLEA to do and for your prayer and financial support. This is an effort of the highest order. Thank you again.

I returned home from Rwanda on Sunday, Aug 31. The trip, I thought, went well. The second week began in Gicumbi, where I preached on Sunday. We then taught Is Christianity True? to a group of 15 church leaders affiliated with the churches of which Protais is Bishop. The class saw the importance of this book for a couple of reasons. First, Islam is growing, and many Muslims are taught to use (and distort) the Bible. Islam, of course, denies the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. In the book, we discuss the biblical and historical evidence for both the crucifixion and resurrection, which makes it clear that both events are historical facts, beyond a reasonable doubt. Second, the government schools are pushing naturalistic evolution. The book discusses the science in some detail, so that the participants and their children can be well-equipped to handle matters such as these.
 Enthusiastic worship at The home Church Stretching exercise at Gicumbi Gicumbi: ladies & their beautiful dresses
The trip concluded with a "training of trainers" in Kigali. Protais assembled about six good people from different regions of the country, who will be the leaders of ECLEA-Rwanda. They enthusiastically want to "own" this ministry in their country. It will be officially registered with the government, with a board of directors and executive committee. Each of these leaders will develop a group of other pastor-teachers to mentor who will, in turn, mentor others. In short, ECLEA-Rwanda is headed in the right direction and will be able to make a great impact--in breadth, depth, and duration. Praise God!

I am now scheduled to be home until the last half of October, when I will return to Uganda for my final trip of the year.

JUNE 2025
I got back from Tanzania late Sunday night. Here is my report of my trip to Tanzania:
I have been in Tanzania the past week. Last week was spent in Babati. The first day, Joram Ibrahim (ECLEA's national coordinator) and I discussed teaching methodologies, how things are going, difficulties, and the vision of ECLEA with a number of the ECLEA teachers from different areas.
 Joram Ibrahim
We then spent three days going through our apologetics book. Is Christianity True? It was eye-opening and clarifying for the 20 or so teachers present. Then, Joram spent the rest of our time together going over his plan to begin an ECLEA degree program! ECLEA in Tanzania is an officially registered organization. Under Joram's leadership, it has begun a school and has a diploma course. Now, it will be able to offer real degrees. Praise God for this! This kind of work will result in lasting benefits for generations.
 Babati group
On Saturday, we took the 15+ hour bus ride to Tanga, on the coast. This morning, I preached in a large Lutheran church. We will be here all this week, teaching Is Christianity True? and the book of Revelation.
 At the church whee I preached
Sometimes, it can be tiring (try 15+ hour bus rides). But it is all worth it. The people here are wonderful, and the need for the deep teaching of the Word of God is great. Thank you for your faithfulness in prayer and financial support. You are making a big difference in a spiritually very significant part of the world
The second half of my time in TZ was very worthwhile. I spent that part of the trip in the city of Tanga. We began by going through our apologetics book, Is Christianity True? with approximately 24 participants. Even though TZ has nowhere like the number of atheists and materialists as the West has, the book is highly relevant. Young people are exposed to the philosophy of naturalism in college, and Christians need to know the solid factual basis of their faith.
 Tanga group
We then went through the book of Revelation. Most of the participants had not studied it before or only had been exposed to a rather non-biblical view of Revelation and end-time events. As we went through the course, however, they saw how the book fits together, how it forms a coherent whole with the rest of Scripture, and how it is very relevant for the church today.
 ECLEA-TZ leaders
As he had done in Babati, Joram introduced the new ECLEA-TZ degree program. He mentioned that 160 students already have graduated from the ECLEA-TZ diploma program. A number of the participants detailed the practical impact ECLEA courses are having in their lives and in the lives of the churches. Pastor Lazaro Chikula, who is leading the outreach to Muslims, testified that he has now spoken to approximately 1800 Muslims and has led 600 of them to Christ. Of that number, over 220 are regularly attending church and over 120 have been baptized!
 Lazaro Chikula
A personal highlight for me was that Joram's daughter Eunice met us at the bus station in Dar es Salaam and then accompanied us to the airport. I had only remembered her as a little girl. Now she is a mature and highly competent young woman. She had gone to university in China. She is fluent in Swahili, English, and Chinese, and is now the administrative supervisor for a Chinese manufacturing company located near Dar. A very impressive young woman.
 Eunice Ibrahim
I am now scheduled to be home for just over two months, at which time I will return to Rwanda. Attached are some photos of both halves of the trip. I thank you all for keeping this ministry in your prayers as well as your financial support. Together, we are making a big difference.
Best regards, Jonathan
APRIL 2025
I have had a very productive time here in Kenya so far. Barnabas Mpekethi, ECLEA-Kenya's national coordinator, and I, began in Misikhu, western Kenya, where I taught the book of Revelation to approximately 30 participants. Our host was my old friend, Bishop Justus Wafula. I originally met Justus in Uganda in 2005 on my first-ever trip to East Africa. It was good to connect with him and his wife Sussy again.
 Barnabas and Justus Mishiku group Sussy and Justus Wafula
The course helped to clear up a lot of misconceptions regarding Revelation, especially as we delved into the nature of apocalyptic symbolism. The book deals with issues which are amazingly relevant for the church today. All in all, I think our appreciation for what God is doing to effect his plan was greatly increased.
We then traveled to Eldoret, where we did the book of Galatians for approximately 30 participants. Our host, Samuel Ochieng and his dear wife, treated us to an excellent dinner of fresh tilapia (one of my favorite meals). Galatians gets to the heart of the gospel of God's grace very pointedly, in ways that most other books do not. Our study led to some very practical applications, including some in-depth discussions regarding money management and spiritual gifts. The Word of God can be such a joy to meditate on, discuss, and apply.
 Eldoret group
We are spending the weekend in Karatina, Barnabas's home. I preached on Sunday, and then we left early Monday morning for Isiolo, where we will be considering The Church: Its Nature, Mission, and Purpose.
 Barnabas and his family in the church
In the second week of the trip, I began in the northern city of Isiolo, where I taught The Church: Its Nature, Mission, and Purpose, to approximately 17 church leaders. This proved to be, I believe, a very powerful and, I hope and think, transformative session. I do not say that lightly.
 Isiolo group The church in Isiolo
The course focuses on what I see are the four, interrelated basic missions and purposes of the church: worship, discipleship, mission, and unity (wholeness). Of all the church leaders present, none had a personal or family budget, none had a church budget, and only one had the semblance of a formal discipleship program (in which only 15% of his church members were participants).
As we worked through the issues, however, the light dawned. One leader said he had never considered or even heard that the church exists to help meet "real life" problems. By the time we ended, many were agreeing to keep meeting together, strategize, and start working together to help clean up Isiolo, see what other issues they face, find out the problems and resources of their own people, and become the intentional loving and serving body of Christ that God intends them to be. I think that God spoke clearly and that they are serious about this. If so, it will be amazing to see what happens over the next few years. Please hold them up in tour prayers.
We then went to Nairobi, where I met with ECLEA-Kenya's national coordinator and 12 of our regional coordinators. It had been a long time since I had met with our national leaders, and it was good. We began by going over how things are proceeding in each of the regions and the challenges we are facing. There was virtually universal agreement that our books and courses are of the highest quality and are having a great impact all across the country. The biggest challenge is financial.
 ECLEA-Kenya coordinators
We then went through our book Is Christianity True? The first session and much of the second day concentrated on the so-called "problem of evil" (i.e., if God is good, why is there so much evil?). There are answers to this, and this issue is actually a greater problem for nonbelievers, since if one doesn't believe in God, he or she has no basis for saying that anything is truly, objectively, or universally evil.
We also considered many reasons why we can know that the Bible is reliable and that Jesus is who he says he is, namely, God come to earth as a man. We concluded that now is the time to get this information deeply into us and to teach our people, so that they and we will have the resources we can fall back on when we go through great suffering and evil. I am so impressed by the commitment of our East African leaders to the ECLEA program. Several of them commented how far they and we have come since ECLEA began.
Thank you for your ongoing prayer and financial support. You make this all possible. I will be home until the end of May, when I am scheduled to go to Tanzania. Here are some pics of the trip.

JANURARY 2025
I arrived home from Burundi late Sunday evening, Jan 26. As I had suspected, because of poor internet, power outages, and other reasons, I was not able to send you a report from the field. Here it is now.
Before I make my report, let me tell you of Burundi. You may know it it one of the poorest countries in the world. But on top of that, now and for the last few years, Burundi has been facing chronic fuel shortages. (Our driver had to go to Tanzania to refill the car.) Prices have gone up 2-3 times in the last year. The unemployment rate is about 60%. The university has lost half its staff, and many educated people are trying to leave the country. With all that, the country is still beautiful, and all the people I work with and encountered were unfailingly kind. Please pray for these dear souls, their homeland, and the tragic circumstances they face.
This was a very busy, even intense, teaching trip. Francois Nitunga and Patrice Nduwimana of Rema Ministries (our teaching partners in Burundi) interpreted for me in two venues. I taught Biblical Eschatology for 4 1/2 days to about 30 participants in Buhiga (the north central part of the country) and again to about 100 participants for 4 days in Nyanza Lac, next to Lake Tanganyika in the far southwest. Some of the participants had to walk more than 4 hours to attend. Each day we went from about 8:00AM - 3:00PM. In Nyanza Lac we took only two 20 minute breaks. In both venues, the participants had very little good background on eschatology; now they have a solid biblical framework to assess all the major eschatological passages and issues.
 Patrice, Francois, and Theo of Rema-Burundi
In Nyanza Lac, I also taught the book of Jonah to about 60 participants for 3 days from 4:00PM - 6:00PM. This book is much more than a "fish story." It actually deals with four of the most important issues we all have to face: the nature and character of God; our relationship with the world and things; our relationship with people who are "different" from us; and our relationship with God.
 Nyanza Lac Jonah class Buhiga class
Both eschatology courses began with participants reporting what they had learned and how they had applied the other courses they recently had been taught. There were some amazing reports, including forgiving one's parents, learning to plant fruit trees and vegetables to supplement income, learning to budget, schedule one's time, and more.
In our courses, we began each day with Q&A regarding what we had previously covered. Lots of good questions were asked, often going beyond eschatology itself to the heart of the church and what it should be doing. Those sessions sometimes lasted 2 hours or more and were well worth it. In short, it was a productive, tiring, inspiring time. At night for dinner in Nyanza Lac, we had mukeke, a fish that is unique to Lake Tanganyika, almost every night.
 Nyanza Lac eschatology class
Here are some pics. Please pray for the young man and young lady. He was one of the participants in Biblical Eschatology. A fine and intelligent young man. They want to get married, but her father will not give his permission, because he is an albino. I pray that God will soften the father's heart. (Albinos are often mistreated over here.)
 My albino friend and his fiancee
I am now scheduled to be in the US until late March, when I will go to Kenya. Thank you for your ongoing prayer and financial support. I hope you can see how much good your support is enabling.
Best regards, and God bless you, Jonathan
