Education on the Rise Globally
Do you understand the scope of need around higher education globally and the role of Christian higher education? How can you be praying and responding? Through today’s Missiographic, you can dive into some of the numbers behind education in Africa:
- The number of new Christian higher education institutions has grown faster in Africa than in other areas of the world in the past 20 years.
- There continues to be great opportunity for the growth of Christian higher education in Africa as currently only 2% of the African university enrollment age cohort is enrolled in higher education.
A college education is a valuable resource for a person who is striving to develop their skills and make a life for themselves and their family. While we still have a long ways to go, more people around the world are getting that chance. While it is a small percentage of overall students, the Global Church looks to many of these students to be the next leaders of the Church. Consider the status of global higher education, the response of Christian higher education to the need, and how you can support these institutions globally.
Personal Reflection
Do you have a college or graduate degree? If you do, you are part of a small percentage of the world’s people with a significant advantage in learning and a broad set of opportunities. If you don’t have a degree, it is a goal that is worth reaching for as you seek to be on mission. How are you encouraging those Christian institutions serving students around the globe? Are you praying for these students studying to serve their communities and the Body of Christ? Consider praying for the students of Christian higher education institutions on a regular basis.
Prayer
Dear God, we praise You as the creator of all knowledge, and we rejoice in the wealth of knowledge there is available! Please open doors for Christians worldwide who want to be further educated—and then open doors for them to share what they’ve learned with others.

As a Christian, what do you think about when Africa comes up in conversation? Africa is a diverse continent with amazing people, cultures, and natural resources. It is also a continent that has struggled through famine, wars, disease, and instability. The good and bad have much to teach us. So let’s learn from our African brothers and sisters in Christ. Here are some examples: Can you quote any African proverbs? Do you know what African Christians are reading? How long has it been since you thought about AIDS or Ebola? Have you prayed for the leadership of Africa? Adventure into Africa the next 7 days with your eyes and heart open, ready to consider the challenges and opportunities that God might place before you.
