Dustin oversees the continent of Africa for Strategic Impact - teaching, coaching, encouraging, resourcing, and serving - so that all may hear the beautiful truth of the gospel.  He also plays a leadership role on SI International's Executive Team and handles a lot of the ministry's logistics. Dustin resides in Denton, Texas with his wife (Tracy), four daughters (Dakota, Trinity, Remington, & Sierra Justace), one son-in-law (Cody), three dogs (Lyric, Griswold Grizzersmith, & Roscoe), and one grandson (Gideon).

Edward is one of the latest additions to our team - Bio coming soon!

Reuben started out with Strategic Impact in Bujumbura, Burundi (one of my favorite places to pronounce).  Things progressed very well there, and he soon had a strong team developed to spread the work - even into two communities in the Eastern part of the DRC (now overseen by Dr. John).  Then civil unrest broke out.  Reuben and his family had to flee the country, since they were not Burundians.  They landed in Kigali, Rwanda, where Reuben's wife is from, and launched SI there as well! Reuben currently lives in Kigali, Rwanda with his wife (Salome) and thee sons (James, Ishimwe, & Iradukunda) - and looks pretty tough on the back of a motorcycle!  They are hoping to transition back to Tanzania soon.

Unfortunately, Stephen Aputara passed away unexpectedly in February, 2022.  It was more than a shock to myself and all of our SI family, let alone his own family.  We grieve his passing, but celebrate his legacy of faithfulness. 

Stephen oversaw the region of West Africa with Dustin.  He was been a faithful pastor, leader, and servant of the Lord for many years.  After retiring from his position as pastor and President of their denomination, Stephen says his role in the local church was now to be "conducting weddings, burying the deceased, and blessing babies."  He is a true man of Godly character and we are grateful that he so passionately joined forces with Strategic Impact to saturate West Africa and beyond with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

​Israel oversees the region with Dustin, with an emphasis on the 5 nation hub comprised of Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, and Burundi (and Eastern DRC... because we can't count and Israel is REALLY good!).  He is founding Pastor of Potter's House in Tandika, Tanzania.  Israel resides just outside of Tandika (near Dar es Salaam) with his wife (Beauty Jane).  He has more children than Abraham, with six sons (Lusajo, Moses, David, Israel Jr., and twins Zoe & Joe).  

Azikiwe oversees all of the nation of Tanzania, where we have experienced the most growth as a ministry.  This is the land of proper Swahili (take that, Kenya!).  At one time, Azikiwe and Israel both studied Karate (that is where they met and became friends) - both were blackbelts.  Now, even though his right leg is fuzed straight due to a botched series of surgeries, he has served the Lord faithfully.  When Azikiwe preaches, it is like shifting gears in a car - he starts out in first, and makes his way quickly up to 3rd & 4th gear.  Our team believes he has a 5th, but we have not seen it yet, and are all unconvinced we would survive without immediately being taken to heaven!   He is founding Pastor of Gospel Power House (Best. Church Name. Ever.) in the beautiful city of Mbeya, Tanzania, where he lives with his wife (Victoria), daughter (Even), and two sons (Hagai & Ezra). 

​Dennis oversees the entire nation of Zambia for Strategic Impact.  This is a difficult task, not only due to its size, but also the number of languages - there are 73 tribes, 5 major tribal language groups, and then English on top of that!   He is founding Pastor of Alpha Revival Centre in Roma, Zambia (a community in Lusaka).  Dennis resides in Roma with his wife (Ireen), daughter (Sharon), and son (Caleb) - but he can usually be found on his phone!

Sainet oversees the region with Dustin and Israel, but with an emphasis on the 5 nation hub comprised of Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Madagascar.  He is founding Pastor of East Gate Revival Centre in Bauleni, Zambia. 

Sainet resides in Bauleni with his wife (Eunice), two sons (Jonathan & Joshua), and daughter (Johanna, the Princess of the Whole World).
