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
- Banyamulenge in Minembwe, DRC, protest incessant drone attacks and bombings killing unarmed civilians since early 2026.
- Regime enforces ethnic cleansing via sieges denying food, medicine, and essentials, plus church destructions in Uvira.
- Christian leaders and peace talks remain silent amid atrocities driven by mineral exploitation interests.
The clouds wept as Banyamulenge gathered in despair against aerial terror mirroring ancient oppressions condemned in Scripture.
Biblical justice demands believers defend these vulnerable families targeted for their land and heritage.
In a blood-soaked region, multinationals prioritize critical minerals over innocent lives sacrificed since colonial times.
God calls His people to rescue the oppressed, as Psalm 82 urges: “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.”
Faithful patriots, pray boldly for Banyamulenge freedom, amplify their voices, and press leaders for intervention upholding Christian values.
Faith Facts
- Norse settlers established Christianity in Greenland by 1000 AD, building a cathedral in 1126.
- Rev. Hans Egede’s 1721 mission reintroduced faith to Inuit, inventing their alphabet.
- Kleinschmidt Bible, first full version in Greenlandic, published in 1900.
Christian presence flickered across Greenland’s icy vastness for centuries since Viking longboats arrived with Erik the Red.
Norse explorers from there carried the Gospel to North America’s shores, marking earliest continental witness.
Rumors of lost Catholics spurred Egede’s quest under Denmark’s king, shifting to Inuit evangelism amid ruins.
Moravians, Poul Egede, Otto Fabricius, and Danish Bible Society persisted through fires and revisions, spreading the Good News.
Celebrate this legacy, patriots: champion Bible missions to defend faith, family, and freedom worldwide.
Faith Facts
- Villagers in Kanker District block Sambai Mandavi’s burial, demanding family reconvert to Hinduism.
- Supreme Court orders halt exhumations, yet fresh threats defy justice for tribal believers.
- 23 burial attacks in Chhattisgarh 2025 reveal systematic war on Christian dignity.
In Chhattisgarh, India, tribal extremists prevented 34-year-old Christian Sambai Mandavi’s burial after her Feb. 24 death, claiming it defiles their deities and land.
Her husband Kamlesh faces assault threats and forced exhumation if buried in Amodi village cemetery or family land.
United Christian Forum footage shows exhumations like Benur village remains cremated after 20 years, turning grief into nightmare.
Families discover empty graves or trek miles, pressured to abandon Christ for village rites.
“This incident occurs just days after the Supreme Court issued an interim order halting exhumations,” the Progressive Christian Alliance stated.
“Yet, the persistence of such threats underscores a blatant disregard for judicial directives.”
“The Chhattisgarh government’s calculated silence speaks volumes,” said John Dayal.
“This is not just about dignity in death; it’s about whether tribal Christians belong to their own villages.”
Petitions decry police complicity in desecrations, violating equality and life with dignity under God’s law.
Stand with persecuted brethren through prayer and advocacy, upholding biblical honor for the dead and freedom to worship Christ boldly.
