This inspiring feature tells the story of Annie Mbayo, a pastor, mother of nine, and community leader from Kigoma, near Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Through World Vision’s Empowered World View (EWV) training, Annie learned to combine faith with practical planning, transforming her household and community. Once dependent on small-scale seedling sales, she developed her nine hectares into a productive farm, began pig rearing, expanded mango cultivation, and built a stable home, both a symbol and a result of her new vision. Guided by principles of stewardship, savings, and collective action, she also helped form a community savings group, inspiring other women and men to take similar steps toward self-reliance. Annie’s journey reflects the essence of the EWV approach, turning prayer into action, faith into work, and hope into sustainable change.
