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

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.

Praise The Lord Alongside New Believers in Ghana
A native ministry organized a four-day convention and spent many days training ushers, counselors, prayer warriors, and other committees to ensure the event ran smoothly. “Praise the Lord!” the ministry leader said following its conclusion. “The Lord ministered and won many souls to the glory of God.” Among the 45 people who decided to give their lives to Christ was a prominent and respected man from a nearby town. “He is now a new being in Christ,” the ministry leader said. Your donations support evangelism and discipleship such as this. Pray the lost will be transformed by the power of the cross.

Deliver Critical Aid During Tumultuous Times in Niger
With many areas of the country facing insecurity and upheaval caused by famine and political turmoil, people have great difficulty finding enough food. One native ministry aims to help those most in need through providing resources that will help sustain them through difficult times, such as goats for income-generating purposes. Recently, the ministry also assisted 884 families through the distribution of rice, beans, and oil. “The people are very thankful and relieved to find help in this critical situation!” the ministry leader said. Donations of $35 or $70 help missionaries provide aid to the displaced and vulnerable. Pray that aid such as this will open the door to share the gospel message.

Assist Faithful Believers Amid Difficulty in Zambia
Pray that those in difficult circumstances will be encouraged by the great love of God. After a woman gave her life to Jesus, her husband—a Muslim—divorced her. As a result of the divorce, she lost all of her belongings. A local ministry helped her start a small business to support herself, and now, not only does she testify to the great love of God, but she also opened her home for regular Bible study and fellowship. “We have seen many coming to hear the word of God [in her home],” the ministry leader said. Donations of $50 or $100 are needed to help ministries assist those in need.

Assist Brave Believers Persecuted for Their Faith in Africa
Pray that believers will stand strong in the face of persecution. Hundreds of Christian families fled their villages after Islamic extremists implemented a law requiring men over the age of 15 to either pay a tax or convert to Islam. “They came to tell us to practice their religion,” one local pastor said regarding the extremists. “We told them that we would never do it.” The families are currently living in makeshift camps where shelter is poor and food is scarce. Your donations provide aid to persecuted Christians.
