Africa

At a Glance
  • World’s largest Christian and Muslim communities
  • World’s fastest growth rate; over half of the population is 19 years old or younger
  • One-third of the world’s Muslim population resides on the continent of Africa
  • Extreme poverty, poor governance, and increased persecution of Christians
  • Unreached people groups: 649

Indigenous missionaries in Africa face many challenges in their quest to share Jesus. Islam is rapidly spreading throughout the continent, and radical groups persecute Christians. Many communities are also in bondage to the occult. Poor governance has kept people in deep poverty. Many communities lack basic infrastructure, which has also created opportunities for missionaries to share Christ’s love by drilling wells and opening schools and clinics. They provide food and clothing to the poor and meet many other needs while sharing the hope of the gospel.

Ministry Highlight

In Liberia, an indigenous ministry transformed one of the country’s most dangerous areas, where former child soldiers had organized themselves into gangs of armed robbers. Missionaries brought them food and began organizing soccer tournaments among them. Many of them accepted Christ as Savior. Their leader and 13 others became members of the church the ministry planted in their community.

How You Can Make a Difference

Indigenous missionaries in Africa boldly and courageously address Islam and demonic strongholds, and persevere in the face of frequent natural disasters, famine, drought, and extreme poverty. Your prayers and financial support greatly encourage them, remind them that they are not alone, and strengthen their work so they can reach even more souls for Christ.

From the Mission Field in Africa

Share The Gospel’s Salvation Story in Guinea
The chief of a village in which Christian workers had planted a new church hated its presence and made frequent threats that he would have it removed. But when his wife became seriously ill, the chief asked the church pastor to pray for her. As the pastor and his prayer team prayed over the young woman, she opened her eyes and asked for water. Her miraculous healing caused the chief to repent, and he as well as many in the village gave their lives to Christ. Your donations support Christian workers as they aid their neighbors in service to the Lord. Pray for their continued perseverance in their ministry work.

Share The Grace Of Christ in Sierra Leone
When ministry workers with one ministry met a pregnant teenager who lived on the streets, they learned she had fled her home to avoid marriage and female genital mutilation. They presented the gospel to her during an outreach event, and she joyfully accepted Christ. The church became her adopted family and even helped her with her medical bills after she gave birth. Now, as her twin sons are growing up, she attends church every week, and she reconciled with her family. “To God be the glory, her life has been tremendously transformed,” the ministry leader said. Your gifts of $25 or $50 help missionaries who organize evangelism events. Pray that lives will continue to be transformed by the gospel.

Come Alongside New Churches in Africa
Native missionaries drove through heavy rains to meet with villagers in a remote area who had only recently begun to regularly meet together. But their meeting place was beneath a tree, and on this day, the downpour pushed everyone into a small house nearby where the missionaries used the book of Philemon to discuss the importance of house churches such as theirs. “There are so many needs among the people, but they had joy on their faces because of the love of Jesus and what He has done for them,” the ministry leader said. Funds enable native ministries to support church plants across the region. Pray for these groups of believers as they fellowship together.

Comfort The Weary in Burundi
During an evangelism event, a homeless man asked the missionaries for prayer. They learned he fled his home as a child after he witnessed gunmen kill his family. The missionaries prayed for him and gave him a Bible, then they took him for a haircut and bought him new clothes. Later, the pastor of the local church met with him and brought him to Christ. One year later, the young man was baptized and now serves as an usher in the church while also attending a Bible training school. Donations of $25 or $50 support missionaries as they evangelize and provide comfort to the lost. Pray for new believers as they grow in their faith.

Build Up The Body Of Believers in Uganda
A man addicted to alcohol was transformed after he heard the gospel from native missionaries. He became a leader in the local church and encourages his neighbors to attend worship services with him. A woman stopped consulting with witch doctors when she chose to follow Christ. Now she sings in the choir. These are just two examples of Christian workers’ impact on the people they serve. “The community has a heart for God now because we are seeing the aroma of Christ in them,” the ministry leader said. Donations help sustain churches such as this one. Pray that God’s love will overflow through the fellowship of believers.

Support Community Outreach in Zimbabwe
In one community, drinking and prostitution are rampant, and to reach the local people, native missionaries use feeding programs as an outreach tool. Before each meal is served, the ministry workers preach about the goodness of the Lord and give those present the opportunity to give their lives to Christ. When one woman who worked as a prostitute to feed her family learned of the program, she not only participated in it, but she chose to follow Jesus. Now she helps other women who continue to depend on prostitution for their livelihood. Your donations help ministries with outreach programs like this. Pray that their evangelism will be fruitful for the kingdom.
