First Time Site Success in Gabon, Central Africa

Gabon is a very small French speaking country in central Africa with a population of 1.7 million people. Christianity represents 95 percent of the population. The church in Gabon is very weak and divided, so the coming of GLS to Gabon brings hope for leaders and the church.

By the grace of God, the GLS started on Friday September 18 with 485 attendees. The impact was so real for each leader, and it was the very first time they have ever experienced a world-class leadership conference. By the second day, the attendance went up to 506 people including church, business and government leaders.

Gabon National Security agents were sent from the President’s residency to inquire about what was happening. They wanted to know what GLS was all about, and why we brought the GLS to Gabon. We told them we brought the GLS to Gabon to strengthen leaders, the church and to transform communities.

“Before the Summit, I was not committed to my church, but after listening about the local church being the hope of the world, I decided to be committed, and to be involved in the local church, and invest all my energy, time and money to serve in the local church.” – GLS Attendee, Gabon
