Join me in praying for the growing trends in Africa: Answer to Prayer Third Wave Pentecostal groups, strongly evangelical, have become a major element in the African Church. They are strong on the Scriptures and outreach, expectant of miracles, fervent in prayer and courageous against the powers of darkness. The Redeemed Christian Church and Deeper Life Bible Church were both started in Nigeria and have planted churches in dozens of countries. Groups such as the Church of Pentecost (Ghana), the Zimbabwe Assemblies of God, and others in Kenya, Tanzania, Côte d’Ivoire and elsewhere continue to grow and plant new churches. Trends to Watch - Africa Africa See Prayer Information Challenge for Prayer Emigration, displacement and human trafficking are issues that profoundly affect Africa and, by extension, the rest of the world. Almost all of Africa’s countries face these problems. Conflict and poverty have driven tens of millions out of their traditional home areas and, while many seek a better life abroad, the large majority remain displaced within Africa. Often, out of a desire to get a family foothold in a wealthier country, young people – especially women – and even children are sent abroad and into highly vulnerable situations. Getting oneself into Europe by any means necessary is regarded as the pathway to a better life; wicked men profit from this desperation, and many lives and families are ruined by the pursuit of such far-off dreams. Pray for justice and righteousness on a global level that will remove the need for such risky endeavors.
