African Christians Lead The Way!

Within Youth With A Mission (YWAM) alone, more and more Africans are receiving the training to engage in evangelism (reaching the lost with the Gospel); missions mobilization (mobilizing local churches for missions and sending out missionaries); and member care (helping to meet the needs of missionaries on the frontlines of missions both in their physical and emotional needs).

Christianity is growing rapidly in areas like sub-Saharan and Southern Africa. While Islam is the primary religion of Northern Africa. Animism, the belief in spirits and worshipping things in nature, is sprinkled throughout all the nations of the African continent, and is often mixed with Islam and Christianity.

While the churches of Africa used to wait upon white, western missionaries to send them missionaries and money, modern African churches are raising their own funds and sending out their own missionaries! God gets all the glory for this, but we need to keep praying for more missionaries both locally and from other nations to be raised up to go! In Africa alone, there is much work to do, and many times African nationals can best reach their own people due to their familiarity with the culture.

The Wolof are one of the many unreached people groups in Africa that need to hear the Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ. Here is a short prayer video about them from thewaitingworld.net
