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

Encourage The Lost To Trust In Christ in Burkina Faso
A native missionary sat near a community well one evening and told Bible stories to the villagers who congregated there to draw water. Many came closer to him to listen and ask questions about the things he said. One man was so intrigued that he volunteered his home as a meeting place for Bible study. “That is how we started a new Bible study in a place where the people are all from a background of Islam,” the ministry leader said. “The church is only growing in numbers.” Donations of $25 or $50 support outreach opportunities such as this. Pray for new believers as they study the Word of God.

Deliver Bibles To Those Who Need Them in Malawi
A man was overjoyed when a native missionary gave him a Bible. “Now I will preach the whole gospel,” he told the missionary because he now had the entirety of Scripture in his hands. The missionary spends much of his time traveling to preach and distribute Bibles to those who need them. “It’s great to see the Lord’s work going on and people being saved,” he said. “The joy of the Lord on their faces, even with the little that they have, is the most important thing.” Donations of $24 or $48 help Bibles reach those who need them. Pray for the endurance of Christian workers who journey many miles for the sake of the gospel.

Provide An Education To The Vulnerable in Niger
Approximately 300 children, including orphans and those with disabled parents, attend one of two schools run by a native ministry, often becoming the first in their families to receive an education. “As teachers and staff demonstrate the love of God and teach biblical truths and morals, they are seeing a transformation in the students’ behavior, studies, and lives,” the ministry leader said. The school was recently blessed with a donated bicycle, providing transportation to some students who must walk a long distance to school. Your donations help provide education to impoverished students. Pray for schools such as this one as they serve the most vulnerable in their communities.

Lift People from Poverty in Burundi
A tailoring center run by a native ministry helps women—mostly single mothers—learn how to make different types of clothes. The center can accommodate up to 10 students and their teachers, and the women spend six to 12 months learning this trade. The goal of the center is to help the women become able to earn an income to support themselves and their families. “Sewing is one of the skills that gets you a job in Burundi regardless of where you are located,” the ministry leader said. Your donations help support projects such as this. Pray for gospel opportunities through ministries such as this.

Support Discipleship Of New Christ Followers in Kenya
Christian missionaries have organized multiple events and fellowship opportunities to encourage believers and nonbelievers alike. They evangelize door to door, lead open-air and tent revivals, visit the sick, and attend school rallies. They have also created seminars for youth and women, planted a new church, and baptized new believers. Recently, they organized a mass wedding alongside a dedication service to those entering missions work. “We have seen the blessings of God upon His people,” the ministry leader said. Donations of $25 or $50 support missionaries in their daily service to the Lord. Pray they will remain faithful to their calling and be encouraged in their faith.

Embolden Believers To Evangelize in Nigeria
Christian workers from a native ministry continue to build relationships with the thousands of internally displaced people who currently live in camps across the country. In one camp of more than 10,000 internally displaced people, approximately 93 percent of the people are Muslim. But when Christian workers visited, they gave out 600 Bibles and delivered the gospel message. As fears of banditry and insurgency slowly diminish and people begin to return to their homes, these new believers will now have the opportunity to share the gospel with others in their villages. Your donations support missionaries with their gospel outreach. Pray that new believers will boldly share Christ with others.
