DAY TWO: AFRICA

• Population: 1,373,480,428.
• 54 Countries
• The Second largest continent.
• Christians 48.8% Evangelicals 18%
• Christianity is almost half of Africa’s population and two-thirds of sub-Saharan Africa. From 1900 to 2010, Christians grew from 9.1% to 48.8%, - from 7.5 million to 504 million. Of the world’s evangelical Christians, over 33% live in Africa.
• Islam is the major challenge for Christianity today - both the 220 million Muslims in North and 300 million in sub-Saharan Africa.
• The “race” to win peoples to Christ from the traditional religions in West Africa and across the Sahel has largely been lost; most have been Islamized.
• The fault line between Muslim and Christian majority areas.
• Increasing terrorism and violence against Christians by fundamentalist Muslim groups.

Homecoming

As we pray for the great continent of Africa let’s remember the spiritual fathers who brought the gospel to Africa. With all the rights and wrongs we know so well there were thousands of British, indeed Scottish missionaries who brought the gospel to Africa. Scripture states that in the latter days, the hearts of these spiritual children will be "stirred" and turned back toward their spiritual fathers. Pray for the African diaspora here in the UK that they will connect and find a way to integrate their service and passion to benefit the Kingdom of God.
