AFRICA

About

Africa is home to almost 1.5 billion people, over 3,000 tribal groups, and 54 countries. The scope and scale of gospel need is immense. From the Saraha desert to the suburbs of Johannesburg to the growing tech hub in Lagos, there is great need for faithful proclamation of Jesus. Acts 29 Africa desires to plant gospel-centred churches in all African contexts by partnering with church planters and church-planting churches across the continent, so that disciples are made, leaders are developed, and churches multiply. 

Through regular training, recruitment, and assessment, we are building a network of disciple-making churches who proclaim the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Join us to plant churches so that everyone, everywhere in Africa will hear the name of Jesus proclaimed.
