THE DISCIPLES – Carriers of the Message of Salvation

After Jesus completed His redemptive work through His Life, death and resurrection, He entrusted the life-changing message of salvation to His closest followers—the disciples. These ordinary men, transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit, became extraordinary witnesses of the gospel, spreading the news of salvation to the ends of the earth.

Commissioned to Continue the Work of Christ


“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them… teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19–20

This Great Commission marks the beginning of the disciples’ mission as messengers of salvation. Jesus didn’t just save them for personal benefit—He sent them to be instruments of salvation to others.

Empowered by the Holy Spirit

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me…” Acts 1:8

Salvation is not spread by human effort alone—it is the Spirit of God working through obedient vessels. At Pentecost, the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit, and the message of Christ was declared boldly, resulting in the salvation of thousands.

Salvation Preached Through the Apostles’ Message

Peter, standing before the crowd in Acts 2:38, proclaims, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins…” 

From that day, the message of salvation was no longer confined to one place or people group. It spread through cities, cultures, and generations—because these men carried the message of the risen Christ with conviction.

Suffering for the Sake of Salvation

The disciples paid a great cost for their mission. Many faced persecution, imprisonment, and martyrdom. Yet they endured because they were convinced, 

“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

The certainty of Christ as the only Savior compelled them to speak boldly, even in the face of death.

Their Legacy: A Church Built on the Gospel

The disciples became the foundation of the early Church—a community centered on the gospel of salvation. Their teachings, letters, and lives laid the groundwork for every believer today to hear, believe, and be transformed by Christ.

The message of salvation didn’t stop with the disciples—it continues through every believer today. Just like them, we are called to proclaim Christ, live faithfully, and be carriers of the message of eternal life.

How will you carry the message of salvation in your generation?

UNVEIL YOUR PURPOSE

By John Ouma Every human being has a purpose and the destiny connected to that purpose. Missing the purpose is equivalent to missing your destiny. 'The greatest tragedy in life is not death but rather living a life without a purpose'- Dr Myles Munroe. Whether a purpose connected to your community, family, church, school etc you cannot cause an impact when you do not discover that UNIQUE essence of your life. Without understanding our purposes we live ordinary mundane lives because there is no driving force within us. PURPOSE is the true essence of a human's life. It is the inward motivation that connects the mind to the body and pushes you to perform or do anything. When we don't discover our true purpose we end up pursuimg things that only steal our time but have no destiny connected with our lives. A purpose driven life is nurtured from a young age and that is exactly what our mission is. We have a load of work to cultivate the purpose of every youth according to God...

SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST – Core Christian Belief

At the heart of the Christian faith lies one central message: salvation is available through Jesus Christ . This belief is not merely a theological idea but the foundation upon which Christianity stands. It affirms that humanity, broken by sin and alienated from God, can be reconciled, redeemed, and restored through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. For Christians around the world, this is more than doctrine — it is the good news , the very meaning of hope, love, and eternal life. The Problem: Sin and Separation According to Christian teaching, all human beings have sinned and fall short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). Sin is not just about bad behavior — it is a condition of separation from God. It affects our thoughts, actions, and relationships. Because of sin, humanity lives under spiritual death — a state of alienation from the life and presence of God. This brokenness is both personal and universal. It can be seen in individual struggles, societal injustice, moral fai...

THE UNSTOPPABLE YOUTH

By John Ouma Youth Ablaze is the young people's signature effort to invest in the next generation of leaders. We are a vibrant community where young people can learn and be mentored to improve their skills and effect change around important issues in their lives and communities. In a world of youths that struggle with validation Yoith Ablaze is devoted at empowering and enlightening the young people to be impactful without the sense of low self esteem and intimidation. The youths always have the power to shape the future and whenever we realize our God given gifts we can move mountains together and cause change no matter the background one comes from nor the economic status. Every person is unique and if we invest in unveiling our gifts we can excel in our enterpreneural skills, ministries, careers and be able to build communities to the glory of God. I believe that if we become more robust in our vision we can forcefully break out of the limitations of cultures, traditions and rel...
