Our Story · Since 1997
John and Lesley Leach founded Waymakers Missions Africa in 1997. What began as their mission has grown into a wider network of collaborative ministry, bringing together partners who share a commitment to serving communities across Africa.
Today, Waymakers works alongside ministries including InTouch Missions International and Harvesters Ministries. The work also includes The Hope Movie, with a focus on translating the gospel into video in indigenous languages so that more people can experience the message in a language they understand.
John and Lesley are grateful to see the mission grow beyond what they could do on their own, with many co-workers and ministry partners now carrying the work forward together.
