It Only Takes $2,500 to Flip a Church Into a Faith-Tech Hub

The Truth Nobody Wants to Say

"Gen Z isn't interested in church anymore," the elders say. "They're lazy. They're rebellious."

But look closer.

  • 45,000 church buildings sitting empty 4-5 days per week
  • 428 million Gen Z Africans scrolling in silence

The tragedy isn't that the Church is irrelevant. The tragedy is that it's locked.

The hope? It only takes $2,500 to turn those keys again.

What If I Told You It Only Takes $2,500 to Flip an Entire Church?

Not renovate. Not rebrand. Flip.

We didn't imagine it. We proved it in Mbarara.

πŸ’‘ The Framework: Build Redemptive Technology

Each hub operates under the redemptive technology model inspired by FaithTech:

  1. Identify Local ProblemsUsing the 32 World's Greatest Problems framework.
  2. Prototype Redemptive SolutionsApps, systems, or creative projects that address those issues.
  3. Empower Youth BuildersWith mentorship, design thinking, and entrepreneurship training.
  4. Deploy and MultiplySharing successful models across the network of hubs.

The Outcome: From one flipped church comes:

50+
Trained innovators with employable skills
10+
Faith-driven digital projects solving real problems
1
Renewed local congregation engaging Gen Z
∞
A ripple of revival that spreads through creation

"It's not charity. It's capacity."

We're not just saving souls β€” we're building systems that save lives.

Built on the shoulders of redemptive innovators

Voices from the Hub

GN

Grace Nakato, 17

Secondary School Student, Ntare School

"I'm only 17, but during our school holidays, I learned how to build apps with AI at the hub. I thought church was where old people went to sing slow songs. Then I walked into the hub. In six months, my team built Prayer4U β€” now used by 14 churches and 3,200 people. I went from student to builder. From curious to creator."

David Tumusiime, 20

Mbarara University (MUST)

"I was studying computer science with nowhere to practice. The hub gave me space, mentorship, and a mission. Now I'm building AI tools that help rural pastors prepare sermons."

SO

Samuel Okello, 19

Web Developer & Builder

"After 4 months of training at the hub, I started building websites with AI. Now I make $150-250 every month and I'm able to pay for my younger brother's school fees. The hub didn't just teach me to code β€” it gave me a way to take care of my family."

FS

Ps. Flo & Stephen Ssenyonjo

Location Pastors, Worship Harvest Mbarara

"We built this church for $50,000. It sat empty five days a week. House 88 invested $2,500 β€” now it's alive again. 300+ students. 3 schools. One mission. This isn't a program. It's revival β€” with code."

Meet the Founder

OM

I watched churches spend $50,000 on empty buildings. My friends were jobless, brilliant, and scrolling TikTok for meaning.

I did the math: $2,500 flips a church. Power. Wi-Fi. Laptops. Permission to build.

We tested it in Mbarara. It worked. 300+ Gen Z showed up β€” not for sermons, but for purpose.

The next revival won't start on a pulpit. It'll start on a keyboard.

The Church isn't dead. It's waiting for people like you to unlock the doors.
