We are pleased to say that we have just published the latest Annual Report for Rooted in Jesus, which covers the year 2024.

2024 was a busy year, with conferences held in 14 dioceses in Uganda, South Sudan, Madagascar (by The Mathetes Trust) and (by our partner organisation Growing the Church) in South Africa, Lesotho and Namibia. Additional local training took place in a number of dioceses where Rooted in Jesus had already been introduced.

The task of translating the Rooted in Jesus leaders’ booklets is continuous, as new versions are needed for new people groups, or as additional books are needed for groups moving on to the later books. Working with local translators, in 2024 we published translations of the adult programme into Bari and the Dinka Agaac dialect for South Sudan, into Yao for Mozambique and into Lozi for Namibia. For the Junior programme we were able to produce new translations into Nuer for South Sudan, into Lingala and Lugbara for DR Congo, and into Northern Sotho for South Africa. We were also able to publish the Rooted in Jesus Team Manual and Junior Team Manual in Malagasy for use by local trainers in Madagascar. Rooted in Jesus is now available in whole or in part in 50 languages, and Rooted in Jesus Junior in 14 languages.

We are grateful to all those who have sent in annual reports from their own dioceses or networks. The full report can be viewed on our blog, or downloaded here.
