At the evening session, the Rev. Gideon Para-Mallam of Nigeria, the international deputy director for English, Portuguese and Spanish-speaking Africa, told Western Christian leaders at the conference to stand up and Africans to applaud them for the sacrifices of Western missionaries in bringing the Gospel to the continent.
“As a result of their obedience, God has been at work in Africa,” said Para-Mallam. “Africa has moved from a missionary-receiving continent in 1910 to now [in] 2010 a missionary-sending continent. Missionaries will be leaving Africa to Europe, from Africa to the United States of America, from Africa to all over the world.”
“The church in Africa is the church of the future,” he declared.
Precisely which Church in Africa is the Church of the future?
I bet they will have better music…at least better harmonies. Some of the stuff that passes for music in some Churches is just awful. Welcome, welcome brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. America needs you. We have lost our way as a people. Thank you Lord for sending them.
