If You Believe and I Believe
And Together We Will Stand.
The Holy Spirit Will Come Down
And Africa Will Be Saved.
And Africa Will Be Saved.
And Africa Will Be Saved.
The Holy Spirit Will Come Down
And Africa Will Be Saved.
That was a worship song that we sang one night during our week in Africa. It summed up our purpose. Together, men and women from across the continent joined with brothers and sisters from the USA and Brazil to answer God's awesome call to be his witness even to the remotest parts of the earth. Even to the remotest parts of Africa.
When I say we had representatives from all across Africa, we did. There were pastors and lay leaders from French-speaking parts of North Africa, from English-speaking parts of West and Southern Africa, from Portuguese-speaking parts of Southern Africa, and from areas dominated by the numerous tribal languages spoken within Africa.
All of these brothers and sisters came together for a single purpose -- that Africa would be saved. There are many in this world who say that Africa is a fully evangelized country. There are facts and logic to back up those statements. However, in reality, Africa is no more "fully evangelized" than the USA is. Yes, there is a church presence in nearly every country; perhaps in nearly every community. However, there are still many who do not know Christ. And there is a new generation of Africans who are growing up in a post-modern world. Just like their counterparts in the USA and Western Europe, they are going up without a knowledge of God's plan of salvation for their lives. They are growing up lost. They need to be saved.
Please lift up Africa in your prayers. Ask God to prepare the hearts of the children and youth who will see The GodMan and who will received their own personal copy of God's word in the form of the Book of Hope. And pray for laborers who will come along side our national teams to reach the children and youth of their communities.
