Investing In Africa

When the African Christian Fellowship (ACF) started over 32 years ago, the desire was for a vibrant fellowship so that believers from Africa can remain strong in the faith despite the many challenges we face as immigrants here in the United States. Over the years, as the Lord blessed and established us, He has also enlarged our vision. He has opened our hearts and eyes to see the need for Africans in the United States and all who care for Africa to reconnect with our beloved Continent Africa, and make a difference in practical ways. The challenges facing our homeland have never been more daunting, but rather than continue to curse the darkness, we have chosen to light a candle!

We are responding to God's call to bring Hope to the many people groups in Africa that are still Unreached � people who have never heard of the love that took our Savior Jesus Christ to the cruel cross and the power that raised Him from the dead. We firmly believe that at the root of Africa's many problems is the need to cry out to God in repentance and for spiritual rebirth and revival. Too many of our precious people remain in the grip of Islam, Animism and nominal Christianity. This is the reason corruption, poverty, war and disease defy every human solution and continue to ravage our precious land.

We sense God's call to be a voice for Africa's many unreached people groups and to be a voice to call the Church in Africa to reason and to action in winning unreached peoples to Christ. We want to be a vital part of the final harvest among presently unreached people groups in Africa. There is a steady decline in the flow of missionary resources to Africa from the western world, and we believe Africans in the U.S. must mobilize resources to fill the gap. As Africans, we must take the initiative, through selective partnering, to spread the gospel to the areas of greatest need in Africa. Through our short-term mission trips, ACF Missions, Inc. is creating opportunities for concerned individuals to increase their involvement in cross-cultural missions in Africa.

Since 1994 we have been involved in:

• Creating missions awareness among Africans in the U.S. and U.K.
• Mobilizing prayers for unreached people groups in Africa and for Missionaries working with them
• Providing opportunities for Africans to encourage missionaries serving in Africa through the Missionary Advocacy Network
• Funding the training of missionaries in Cote d�Ivoire, Togo and Benin Republic.
• Providing a Christian response to Africa�s key Challenge - the ravages of HIV/AIDS and the scourge it is leaving in orphans and other vulnerable children.

You can make a significant impact on the African continent - spiritually, economically and even politically. Therefore, please consider what you can do to make a difference in Africa. The time has come for us all arise and respond to God's call to take the love of Christ to the remaining unreached people groups in Africa.

This is YOUR time - Invest in Africa's Harvest Fields!
