Emmanuel Bakenga's life story is the driving force behind Veritas Gospel. After losing his parents and six siblings in 1997, he endured immense hardship, spending seven years in refugee camps before being resettled in Australia in 2012. Since 2022, Emmanuel has dedicated himself to mobilising churches in Africa for discipleship and the true gospel in a rapidly changing world. Now an Australian citizen, he collaborates with Australian churches while regularly travelling to Africa to work alongside pastors. He believes Africa is prepared for global mission, but the church and its youth are not yet fully discipled and ready.
