Faith, Hope, and Growth: Africa’s Evangelical Surge
Faith Facts
- Rev. Nelson Makanda appealed for renewed PEPFAR support as devastating aid cuts impacted HIV/AIDS care in Kenya.
- America’s commitment through PEPFAR has saved millions of lives and helped countries control HIV epidemics.
- Evangelical Christianity is booming across Africa, promising hope and growth for future generations.
Rev. Nelson Makanda, a respected Kenyan Christian leader and educator, traveled to New York during the United Nations General Assembly to seek urgent assistance for his nation’s struggle against HIV/AIDS.
America’s historical generosity, particularly through PEPFAR, has made a remarkable difference in Kenya, but suspended funding now leaves many without life-saving treatment, especially the vulnerable.
“You find young people, you find children, you find teenagers, you find mothers, who can no longer access their medical care because of the withdrawal of that fund.”
Makanda, who leads Africa International University, emphasized how the withdrawal has left clinics closed and medical staff jobless, further threatening already struggling families.
Despite these challenges, Makanda’s visit to New York included spiritual renewal through a Christian leadership conference, aiming to better serve Kenya with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ.
His long ministry reflects the vital role the Gospel plays in Africa, providing hope for the poor, the sick, and those yearning for opportunity, even as the continent battles hardships.
In recent decades, Evangelicalism in Africa has surged, with numbers rising from 1.7% of the population in 1900 to 42% by 2020, reflecting a dynamic move of God among the young and growing population.
“The Gospel as preached by Evangelicals provides hope to the poor, suffering, struggling and hopeful growing population of Africa.”
Makanda believes Africa’s youthful population will continue fueling revival, demonstrating how strong Biblical faith can shape nations and offer real solutions rooted in truth, love, and family values.
Millions are turning to Christ every year, embodying the hope found in faith, family, and freedom through the Gospel.
Let us stand together with our brothers and sisters in Africa, praying and working to ensure the blessings of faith continue to spread and meet both spiritual and practical needs worldwide.

Faith Facts
- The Hyde Amendment has protected millions of unborn lives since its passage in 1976.
- Representative Henry Hyde viewed the amendment as his greatest legislative achievement.
- The amendment continues to prevent taxpayer funding for most abortions in federal programs.
Henry Hyde told me personally that he considered passing the Hyde Amendment his greatest achievement as a legislator. I agree with him.
The measure, first enacted in 1976, has stood as a bulwark against the use of federal dollars for abortion. For nearly five decades it has preserved taxpayer conscience and saved countless lives.
Hyde’s conviction was rooted in the belief that every human life bears the image of God. His persistence in Congress reflected a commitment to defend the most vulnerable among us.
Supporters note that without the amendment, federal funding would have financed millions more abortions. The law’s endurance demonstrates that principled legislation can endure despite relentless opposition.
