THE GREAT BLESSING FOR THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN AFRICA

“And many people shall come, and say: ‘Come, let us go up
To the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob;
That He may teach us His ways and that we may walk in His paths. ‘
For out of Zion, shall go forth the law, and the word of
The Lord from Jerusalem. “(Isaiah 2: 3).

The great blessing for the Christian Church in Africa today is these millions of young people thirsty to know and serve Jesus Christ, despite the difficult circumstances of war, social conflict, poverty and all kinds of threats of destruction. While Al Shabaab constantly strikes the East of the continent, and Bokoharam is bombarding the West daily, our young Africans inflamed by the missionary calling are counted by thousands kneeling day and night to implore the Lord to open new doors for a massive evangelization. And, willingly, they are candidates to Theological schools. Hallelujah!

By mid-2017, the African population was estimated at 1,256,268,000, or 16.6% of the world’s population, while the USA / CANADA had 361,208,000 or 4.8% (Wikipedia). This to mean that if they were burdened, one (1) person in the North American continent would be able to support the evangelization of three (3) Africans. Have you ever thought about it?

While the West is sadly witnessing its youth moving away from the Gospel day by day, Africa on her side, despite the terrible lack of means, but obeying to the great commandment of Christ, is working on the training of disciples who enter the harvest courageously in the Name of Jesus. Didn’t you know that before? They need YOUR support in prayer, YOUR support in working tools as literature, means of modern technology, audio-visual equipment, they need YOUR support for housing and food, etc. Theology schools are in great need of funding in order to be planted everywhere in large number and support teachers and students. Dear Missions and Christian Organizations, DO NOT GIVE UP! And the apostle Paul to challenge us: “Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel! (I Corinthians 9:16 c).
