What You Should Know About African Ministries

By Janine Hughes


I think it is safe to say that a huge percentage of Africa practices Christianity. There are a number of African ministries that have been set up for the purpose of spreading the word of God. This is essential to ensure that the people have a good spiritual foundation. The moment people hear of God at a young age, they will never forget it even when they grow old.

The bible is what guides all the Christians in the world. It states that people should help spread what they know about God. This motivates many people who have the will to tell people about what they know. For this to be done a lot of planning needs to happen. You need to strategize on how to reach the lot of people in an area.

The lives of many people are often touched when God is involved in these programs. You will notice that many people will get saved. They may not have a place to gather together to share their faith. This is definitely important. A temporary structure can be built to act as a church for the people in the area. Later on, something more permanent can be set up.

It has been noted that most of the people who pastor churches in Africa have no formal training. This could be due to poverty. In order lead the congregation, they need to be fully equipped with all sorts of skill. This will enable them to tackle any issue that comes up. You will hear of some institutions offering free training to such leaders.

We always say that the youth are the leaders of tomorrow. For this reason they should definitely be used here. They can be taught on the necessary skills needed to reach out to people. Most of them could be available and in need of something to do. They are important when it comes to school missions as the young people will identify with them.

Ministry is supposed to touch on the soft spot of the lives of the people. A village may lack food perhaps due to poverty. A group of individuals can use this as a strategy to commune the people. They will be ministered to through getting food and also nourishment from the Bible. A lot of people will make a point to attend these gatherings as they will benefit a lot.

You must have noticed that countries that are outside Africa go out of their way to come and spread the gospel here. This offers a lot of help as the more people doing this work the better. Concerts by gospel artists can be held in churches. Orphans can also benefit because they will be provided for. Preaching can be done in church because they profess their faith.

When lives get transformed this leads to others lives being changes. It is like when you throw a stone into water and there is the ripple effect. Preaching the gospel is said to be the only way to heal our ailing land. Join any form of ministry in your church with the aim of making a difference in the life of someone. New members are always appreciated as they can really help out.
