| - African Strategic Impact (ASI) is called to proclaim the good news, feed the hungry, clothe the poor, minister to the elderly, widows and orphans. Following the example of Jesus, we seek to empower those who suffer under oppression, injustice, violence, poverty, hunger, and disease. We are able to address spiritual concerns alongside physical needs. Since its founding in 2003, ASI International has focused in building peace and reconciliation in torn war countries of Burundi, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo and Tanzania. ASI International promoted cooperation between communities and their leaders, generated new economic opportunities, and increased citizens’ knowledge of national events, concerns and priorities. "Since the early 1990s the African Great Lakes region – defined here as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania – has been convulsed by genocide, civil wars, inter-state conflict and flawed democratic transitions. With UN-sponsored peace processes underway in DRC and Burundi and projects of state and societal reconstruction apparently advancing in Rwanda and Uganda, there are hopes that the epoch of violence and exploitation in the African Great Lakes region is finally drawing to an end."[1] ASI International is working to improve the quality of life of people in Africa. The ministry's program include:
* proclaiming the good news - a program that takes the gospel of Jesus into all nations of Africa
* caring for the poor - a program that works to alleviate the suffering of the poor
* training leaders - a program that puts emphasis in training community leaders
* caring for the children - a program that seeks to empower children by providing food, education and ways to overcome poverty and deseases like HIVAIDS
* and healing the sick - a program that provides medicines and training in community affected by HIVAIDS.
