Knowing Christ. Making Him Known. Multiplying Disciple-Makers on Campus.

Who We Are

The Navigators Student Ministry of Rwanda exists to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ among students through intentional disciple-making and spiritual multiplication. We are committed to helping students:

  • Know Christ personally and deeply
  • Grow in Christlike character
  • Develop a strong foundation in God's Word
  • Make Him known on their campuses and families
  • Multiply their lives through discipling others

We believe the university years are strategic—this is where convictions are formed, leadership is developed, and future influence is shaped. Reaching students is an investment in the future of Rwanda that we hold at our core as student ministry.

Where We Serve

Our Student Ministry is currently active on four campuses:

  • INES Ruhengeri
  • Rwanda Polytechnique Kigali college (RP)
  • Mount Kigali University
  • One high school Bible study in Kigali

Across these ministries, approximately 65 students are being intentionally discipled through structured and relational environments. We prioritize depth, character formation, and multiplication over large gatherings.

Our Approach

Our ministry reflects the core values of The Navigators:

The Word of God

Scripture is central to everything we do. Students are trained to study, apply, and live out God's Word faithfully.

Life-on-Life Discipleship

Personal, one-on-one mentoring relationships form the backbone of our ministry. Through regular meetings, students grow in spiritual maturity, accountability, and leadership capacity.

Spiritual Multiplication

We equip students not only to follow Christ but to make disciples who will make disciples, creating lasting generational impact.

What We Do

Discipleship Training Program (DTP)

A structured training pathway designed to equip students in biblical foundations, spiritual disciplines, evangelism and apologetics, leadership development, and principles of disciple-making. DTP prepares students to become confident and competent spiritual leaders on campus and beyond, and is a better time to learn deeper on the most intriguing aspects regarding the Bible and real life.

One-on-One Discipleship

Intentional mentoring relationships focused on personal growth, obedience to Christ, and leadership formation with the students we disciple.

Small Group Bible Studies

Interactive and discussion-based studies that challenge students to apply Scripture in daily life and dive deeper in reading the Word on their own.

Annual Student Camps (Since 2018)

Each year, students gather for intensive teaching, fellowship, leadership development, and vision casting. These camps strengthen spiritual commitment and reinforce our mission of multiplication.

Evangelism & Campus Outreach

Students are equipped and encouraged to share the Gospel and initiate meaningful spiritual conversations with their peers.

Our Impact

Through intentional discipleship, students are:

  • Growing in biblical conviction
  • Developing Christlike character
  • Gaining leadership competence
  • Discipling others on their campuses

The current 65 students represent multiplying influence across four campuses and one high school context.

Our Vision

We envision thriving communities of disciple-makers on every major campus in Rwanda, students who will influence churches, workplaces, communities, and the nation for Christ. Our commitment is not merely to gather students, but to raise leaders who will continue the mission of knowing Christ and making Him known for generations to come.
