Simon Guillebaud MBE is GLO’s International Director. He had a very clear call to Burundi in 1999, when it was regarded as the most dangerous country on earth. He set up GLO with the vision to transform Burundi and beyond through holistic mission, working with gifted local leaders of integrity.
Simon is a gifted communicator. As a speaker, he loves to encourage and challenge ‘the troops’ in churches and conference events. He is the author of several books including the bestselling devotional ‘Choose Life‘. Simon posts regular blog articles and has recently launched a podcast.
GLO’s work in Burundi is capably led by Onesphore Manirakiza. In many ways, his character epitomises GLO’s DNA: passionate and hard-working, compassionate and faithful. A trained lawyer and passionate leader, he felt called to serve the people of his nation, founding Harvest Initiatives, and Antioch Africa, he now heads up GLO in Burundi. He is a respected community leader, speaker and author.
