Africa is the fastest-growing continent in the world. More than half of the world's population growth by 2050 is expected to occur in Africa.
Over 60% of Africa's population is under 25 years old. The potential for campus mission is limitless on this continent.
African people are open to spiritual things and take God's Word seriously. There is a great hunger for Bible study.
Disciples raised in Africa have a strong desire to go as missionaries to other countries.
University students are open-minded about the Gospel and respond positively to Bible study invitations.
The Ubuntu spirit of African culture - "I am because we are" - is well-suited for house churches and community building.
Even in difficult circumstances, African people show remarkable resilience and adaptability. This strength is a valuable asset for Gospel ministry.
