During his U.S. visit, Kumuyi will meet members of Congress, American church leaders and media representatives. He is available for interviews from Jan. 17- 27 to discuss topics, including:
The Global Shift of Christianity: Kumuyi can elaborate on a Lausanne Movement report about the epicenter of Christianity moving from the Global North (Europe, North America) to the Global South (Africa, Asia, Latin America).
Global Leadership: At the recent DCLM Global Leadership Strategy Congress, Kumuyi challenged nearly 20,000 church leaders from 120 countries to embrace 2025 as the “Year of Higher Ground.”
Faith in Practice: In a recent Christian Post Op-ed, Kumuyi called on American Christians to deepen their trust in God for daily concerns, urging, “Why is it that we can trust God for eternity but not for today?”
“This moment in history reminds us that faith transcends borders and unites believers worldwide,” Kumuyi said. “As we gather here, the global church stands together in prayer and purpose, advocating for faith-based dialogue to shape policies that uphold religious liberty and foster the growth of Christianity worldwide.”
