Continental Director | Africa

Cleopas Chitapa

Cleopas was missions-minded from the moment he became a Christian as a teenager in rural Zimbabwe. Though he experienced persecution and rejection, he saw God start a revival within his family, his school, and his community. In 1994, Cleopas joined Every Home Zambia. He became regional director of east and southern Africa in 2015, and continental director over all of sub-Saharan Africa in 2017. Under his leadership, our ministry has expanded into the horn of Africa.

Continental Director | Eurasia

Ondrej Garaj

As a teenager in Slovakia, Ondrej was a part of the atheist Communist Party. To “study the enemy,” he visited a Christian church. He was moved by the joyful and encouraging relationships he found there, so unlike the contentious striving he found among the communists. Six months later, Ondrej sacrificed his security and preferred education to become a servant of Jesus Christ: “God was and is with me. He gave me the opportunity to testify of Him in all situations.” Ondrej joined Every Home in 1990 and quickly became a regional leader. He oversees our work in Europe, the post-Soviet states, and Russia.
