They seek to expand their evangelism and discipleship efforts, praying for a strong vehicle. Mali: A native ministry has varied types of evangelism...from AIDS orphans living on the street who find loving homes to college students who find freedom from sin through Christ. Pray for protection as Islamic opposition increases. Info from Christian Aid Mission 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also serves as a bridge to sharing the Gospel as relationships are formed. A single goat can be sold in times of crisis or bred to sell the offspring. Nigeria: A native ministry is providing food, clothing and medical care for people who have fled horrific violence. The ministry is also helping them rebuild their lives by helping them to have a farm for a livelihood. Info. Christian Aid Mission 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of level/degree, Africa is different/unique. ---- When I was in Uganda, I talked with young Christian leaders. They told me that one of top issues in Uganda is corruption. "Leadership development" should be on priority list in Africa mission. --- In spite of those challenges, there are "pioneering Christian leaders" - in some countries. They have commitment and passion for ministry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on church staff at that time. Soon after he started "community outreach/transformation" focused ministry. Now he runs Christ-centered "community outreach, leadership development/training..." ministry. ---- My perspective is that some countries in Africa need new type of Christian leaders..like young leader in Uganda. ---- There are still "unreached regions/areas" in Africa. Pioneer missions are much needed in those places. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praying for these brothers and sisters is something all members of the body of Christ should do. I hope to do better in this. Thanks, Debp for bringing Africa to our attention. Good information and a Worthy post. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand from Christian Aid Mission which supports native pastors/missionaries....there is also an influx of money from Islamic countries and building of mosques, at least in some Arican countries. Are you familiar with this happening in Africa? If so, is it just certain nations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The native ministry would like to help them and other Christians to form a farming coopperative in order to support their families. This will help defeat poverty, hunger and youth's temptations to join terrorists. Chad: Native missionaries risk their lives to share Christ with those in violent desert areas. People are coming to saving faith as the workers offer emotional and spiritual support. They also offer practical aid, and are caring for orphans and widows. Assistance in any amount is of great help. Info, Christian Aid Mission 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you familiar with this happening in Africa? If so, is it just certain nations? Sorry for late reply.. a bit hectic time. --- I heard about that - what you wrote. I do not have detailed info. Recent years, Islamic influence has been increasing in Africa. - I was told by someone involved in outreach to Muslims in Africa. --- My interest/focus in Africa was on searching "new ministry model." It is my view that Church in Africa needs new type of ministries. Countries (I focused ) had already large Christian population. Christian leader in Uganda (Kampala area) had a vision for "new ministry model"-community outreach/transformation. --- As I said before, there are unreached areas/places in Africa. Indigenous missionaries/ministries are much needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
