Africa

transforming lives in DR Congo, Kenya, Madagascar, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda

Africa, a vast continent, is still awash with savage inequities and yet, many vibrant Christian communities of faith. Our national partners in these countries in East and Central Africa, battle daily with appalling health statistics, inadequate infrastructures and rampant corruption.

300 million in sub-Saharan Africa, live on less than $2/day, more than double the level 20 years ago, and having gone up by around 100 million over the last 10 years.

Nearly two-thirds of people who have AIDS live in sub-Saharan Africa.

90 percent of the world's daily 3,000 malaria deaths occur here.

One-third of boys and one-half of girls do not complete high school on the subcontinent.

Two-thirds of the poorest countries in the world are in Africa.

34 of the 35 states with the lowest life expectancy are in Africa.

We are committed to standing with our national partners as they serve amidst such difficult daily realities.

Our twelve ministry partners are involved in a broad spectrum of activities including medical training, restorative surgery and community development, evangelism and church planting, theological education, MED and children's education.
