The Message Trust in Africa | Tim Tucker (Episode 376)

The Message Trust is a global ministry that seeks to reach young people, particularly those in urban and marginalized communities, with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Founded over 30 years ago in the UK, the organization has expanded its work to South Africa, Uganda, Ethiopia, and other African countries. The Message Trust’s approach combines bold gospel proclamation with practical, transformational programs that address the holistic needs of young people. This includes initiatives like GangStar Enterprises, which provides job skills training and discipleship for youth involved in crime and gangs. The organization also partners with local churches to establish community hubs that offer educational support, sports, and other activities to draw in young people and disciple them in the faith. Under the leadership of South African director Tim Tucker, the Message Trust is focused on equipping the African church to effectively engage youth in urban settings.
