Africa

See God's love spreading in wonderful places

Join Him in seeing lives and communities transformed through encouraging the church and going to difficult places where He is not yet worshipped.

The African continent divides into two very different areas with much of the north being predominantly Muslim with Arabic influences, and the south more heavily influenced by Christianity or tribal religions. There are crises of war, refugees, drought and HIV/AIDS across the continent.

The Church is very different in these two sections of the continent. In the South, the Church is larger and more visible. In the Muslim North, it is small, often “underground” with most believers lacking Christian fellowship. For more info about North Africa, view the Middle East region.
