Biography - Evangelist Mberabagabo Mathieu

Evangelist Mbera Mathieu was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and raised in Rwanda. He is a missionary author and minister of the Gospel, holding a bachelor’s degree in Rural Development and currently pursuing postgraduate studies. He is married and the father of three children.

Since 2006, he has served in various leadership capacities within the Evangelical Restoration Church (ERC), including youth ministry and as Head of Evangelism. He currently serves as a member of the ERC board in Rwanda. In 2009, he co-founded the Rwanda Christian Youth Forum and later, in 2021, co-founded The World for Jesus Mission Ministry (WJMM), a regional initiative dedicated to equipping churches across Eastern Africa for evangelism, discipleship, and mission engagement.

With over 10 years of humanitarian experience, Mathieu specializes in Child Protection and has extensively supported refugee communities through international NGOs in partnership with United Nations agencies. He is also the author of The Omission of the Great Commission, a compelling work that calls the Church to renew its focus on evangelism, intentional discipleship, and the fulfillment of the global mission.

The Church
should intentionally invest in training believers to share the Good News. When
believers are well disciple especially through the Disciple Maker Movement and
make personal commitment to being witnesses as part of their daily lives, they
become obedient to the Word of God and active witnesses. Such believers carry
the gospel wherever they go and reach unreached people in their Lifestyle. This
reflects the core mandate Jesus gave us in Matthew 28:18-20.

However, the
contrast is clear: some churches are not investing in training their members.
Those who are trained often do not disciple younger believers to continue
spreading the gospel to the next generation due to ego, busyness, or lack of
commitment. Even though believers attend weekly services, many unreached people
groups remain unreached. Moreover, we see a decline in the number of church
members willing to go out into the world, often because they attend church
repeatedly without truly encountering Jesus or being equipped to serve Him.

The Church
must, therefore, refocus its efforts on training believers in discipleship,
evangelism, and global mission, as Jesus entrusted to us. He has promised to be
with us to the very end of the age.

That is why we,
as The World for Jesus Mission Ministry, are committed to supporting
the Church throughout Eastern Africa especially in Rwanda by training
evangelists within local congregations and equipping them in the
Disciple-Making Movement and Global Mission with the Purpose of reaching
unreached People Groups in the region.

Church
leadership is a calling to influence nations with the Gospel and raise
disciples who transform communities, not merely a position or title. Biblical
leadership, modeled by Jesus and the early church, is rooted in spiritual
intimacy, integrity, humility, courage, and a clear vision for God’s global
mission. To develop church members into leaders who can shake nations, the
church must teach a biblical understanding of servant leadership, cultivate a
culture of discipleship, and provide hands-on ministry training through
evangelism, mission outreach, small-group leadership, and mentorship.
Leadership is caught more than taught, so pastors must model mission-driven,
Spirit-filled leadership that inspires others to follow. By creating clear
pathways for selection, training, mentorship, and deployment, the church equips
believers to plant churches, reach unreached groups, and disciple others with
boldness and love. A church that invests in developing leaders becomes a
sending center that influences families, communities, and nations for Christ,
extending His kingdom and advancing the Great Commission with power and
purpose.
