A movement of young Africans following Jesus together.
University Discipleship Movement Africa is a non-denominational Christian movement focused on evangelism, discipleship and leadership development among young people across Africa.
Disciples making disciples — for Africa and beyond.
We exist to see African campuses transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ — sending out faithful witnesses into every sphere of society.
We're non-denominational, youth-led, and Spirit-dependent. We work in partnership with local churches, ministries and institutions to invite, disciple and send students.
