Divine Purpose Magazine at 8: A New Era of Empowering Faith-Driven Leaders Across Africa
For eight years, Divine Purpose Magazine has been a trusted voice for faith-driven CEOs, leaders, and entrepreneurs, inspiring readers to align their professional success with God’s purpose. Since its founding by Dr. Vicki L. Otaruyina in 2017, the magazine has grown into a global publication, distributed across 120+ countries through platforms like PressReader, Zinio, OverDrive (Libby), and Peecho. With translations into more than 25 languages and audio availability, it has touched millions worldwide, bridging the gap between faith, leadership, and marketplace excellence.
Now, as it marks its 8th anniversary, Divine Purpose Magazine is setting its sights on Africa as a new frontier of empowerment and impact. While the publication has always had an international presence, this year represents a deliberate pivot to highlight, celebrate, and resource Africa’s faith-driven CEOs and leaders. The timing couldn’t be better: Africa is home to some of the fastest-growing economies, a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, and a strong community of leaders who openly integrate their Christian faith with business innovation. From Lagos to Nairobi, Accra to Johannesburg, faith-driven entrepreneurs are shaping industries, building legacy businesses, and redefining leadership across the continent.
Over the years, Divine Purpose Magazine has showcased powerful voices, from Hollywood actor Kevin Sorbo to gospel singer Nicole C. Mullen and Ghanian businesswoman Odelia Ntiamoah, always with the same goal: to demonstrate how divine purpose fuels extraordinary leadership. But until now, Africa was not the central focus. This new chapter changes that. The magazine will now serve as a platform for African leaders to share their testimonies, strategies, and faith-driven journeys, inspiring others on the continent and beyond.
A Global Platform With African Relevance
Through its established distribution networks, the magazine ensures that African leaders’ voices are heard not only locally but across the globe. PressReader’s digital reach in over 120 countries, Zinio’s access to more than 16 million readers worldwide, and the magazine’s presence in corporate, academic, and public libraries through OverDrive mean that when Divine Purpose Magazine features an African CEO or innovator, their story reaches every continent.
Overall, the magazine’s audience is estimated at 26 million readers worldwide. What’s even more exciting is that platforms like PressReader and Zinio have positioned the magazine as an in-flight, on-cruise, and in-hotel reading option for passengers and guests, thanks to partnerships with some of the world’s largest airlines, cruise lines, and hotel chains.
