Elizabeth Baleke

Missionary with Global Outreach

Beth Baleke first began volunteering with Scripture Union Uganda in 1986 before taking a short break to earn her Master of Arts in Communications at Wheaton College. Before returning to serve with SUU, she went home and began sharing the gospel with her friends and family. During this time, the Lord used Beth not only to help guide her relatives to Jesus but also, to start a church. In 1993, Beth began working full-time with the Scripture Union Uganda and has filled various roles, including serving as the first female SU National Director in East Africa and extending the Scripture Union ministry into Ethiopia, Tanzania, and South Sudan. 

In 2025, Beth transferred her missionary service to an organization called Global Outreach. Her ministry focus remains the same in fulfilment of the Great Commission - "GO and make disciples". Alongside former SUU colleagues Chris Mugweri and Dickens Zziwa she continues to reach out with evangelism, train, disciples and partner with the local churches. They have continued to encourage, train and support their colleagues in Scripture Union of Ethiopia, South Sudan, Tanzania and the South Sudan Refugees in Northern Uganda with resource materials and ministry programs relevant for strengthening Evangelism, Discipleship and Values Education among Children and Young people.
