Rev. Vidar Ligard, Director of Safari Mission and RHEMA Kenya

Sunday, August 13 • 10 a.m.

Rev. Vidar Ligard is the Founder and Director of Safari Mission, an organization that focuses on training leaders and transforming lives in East Africa. In 2006, Vidar with his wife Cathrine pioneered what today is Rhema Bible Training College Kenya. 

Vidar Ligard’s vision is to see the gospel affect people’s lives in Africa in a deeper way. There is a saying that “In Africa, the gospel is a mile wide but only an inch deep.” There has been extensive evangelism, and Christianity is the major religion in the Sub-Saharan Africa, but people are still living in poverty, dealing with corrupt government and leadership. Seeing how many non-profit organizations have failed to deal with the real issues in Africa, Vidar Ligard is working on changing the people’s thinking and teaching leaders about ethics and good leadership styles. Empowering people with knowledge is key to a changed Africa! 

He lives in Nairobi together with his wife Cathrine and three daughters. Visit www.safarimission.org and www.rhemakenya.org for more information, or at office@rhemakenya.org.
