INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYER
The Lord has great plans and purposes for GOFAMINT in Africa and the world at large. God gave us a direct mandate to preach and teach the word of God.
Global Christianity now tilts toward the southern hemisphere. That is clearly seen in the African region. The church is growing rapidly in many countries. At the same time, the church is also struggling spiritually. For example, the church faces religious syncretism and severe persecution from governments and other religions. Also affecting the progress of the gospel is the influence of African traditional religion, the Prosperity Gospel, and the continued expansion of other religions.
More than 3,500 people groups in Sub-Saharan Africa, 851 are unreached. This number includes the Isanzu of Tanzania, with a population of 89,000. They follow traditional African religion.
Another unreached group is the Fulfulde of Niger, who have been the major purveyor of Islam in West and Central Africa. Of the over 15 million Nigerian Fulani, only 0.26% are evangelical Christians.
Proud of their nomadic herding lifestyle, they reject anything contrary to their lifestyle of roaming with their cattle herds. Others who raise livestock near them perceive them as troublesome.
Mostly illiterate, they reject any form of Western education.
God must empower GOFAMINT to evangelize to this group of people and provide resources to take the gospel to the nook and cranny of Africa. God has ordained GOFAMINT for a special mission in Africa to reached the unreached people of the world and thus end gospel poverty. GOFAMINT must take the lead and show the way to others to follow. To achieve this, God needs you for this great assignment. Avail yourself today, and start by praying the prayers below.
