Milly and Agnes Ibanda serve as missionaries with the Church of the Nazarene in the country of Senegal on the continent of Africa.

Both Milly and Agnes are ordained ministers in the Church of the Nazarene. They are both from Congo DRC, North Kivu Central District and met in the church of the Nazarene where they got married. Agnes was the first woman to be ordained in the North Kivu Central District on 20th March of 2015. Milly was ordained in Madagascar on October 14th, 2018. Since September 2017, they have served as Global missionaries in the Islands of Madagascar and Mauritius and are now serving in Senegal. During their time in Madagascar, the Ibandas experienced God’s hand in church growth. The Madagascar Nazarene Street Kids center saw development under Milly’s leadership with an increase in child sponsorship through NCM, a water tower was placed at the center because of the lack of municipal water in the area, and children gave their life to Christ and were baptized.

Milly and Agnes both attended Africa Nazarene University, Nairobi, Kenya and both have worked as lecturers and in other offices at the same University. Milly has also taught at Nazarene Theological College of South Africa, and both helped train pastors with Nazarene Theological Institute in DRC and Rwanda. They are privileged to be parents of 5 children: Gustave (20), Alphonsine (18), Bertha (12), Theresa (9) & Matthew (6)

Currently, Milly and Agnes are serving in Senegal, West Africa. Milly serves as the Church Planting and Community Development Coordinator while Agnes serves as Theological and Pastoral Education Coordinator. They have had a passion for missions for many years and have a deep desire to serve God and to share His love wherever He may lead them. They are very excited about what the Lord is doing in West Africa in general, and in particular, in Senegal and enjoy the peace that comes from being in the center of God’s perfect will. Since their arrival in Senegal, the Ibandas started two preaching points, children ministries, and a small Nazarene primary school where more than 33 children attend. The Ibandas are passionate about sharing Christ and His transforming power to those they meet by reaching out to the lost, discipling the found, and sending the discipled to do the same as they live compassionately among the forgotten.
