AFRICA ’ S
Flourishing Faith
When you think of the beautiful continent of Africa , what comes to mind ? Perhaps the Nile , the Sahara , Victoria Falls , bustling cities , rural villages , amazing wildlife , diamonds , gold , or the pyramids .
With more than 2,000 languages spoken in 54 countries , Africa is diverse and beautiful . Today , the church is flourishing across many African nations , and experts say that Africa now has the world ’ s largest Christian population . OMS and our partners are more excited than ever to join God in what he is doing on this great continent .
In this edition of OMS Outreach , you will discover how God is using OMS in 35 nations across Africa to help more than 760 training centers equip African missionaries , distribute printed and digital Bibles and biblical resources , reach unreached people groups ( UPGs ), show the JESUS film , coordinate strategic mapping , and much more . Our itinerant and residential missionaries partner with gifted and dedicated African leaders who often face persecution and oppression for their faith . We provide training , support , and material resources as we collaborate to spread the Gospel . Together , we see firsthand how God is transforming lives and building his church . As you read , let the Holy Spirit guide you to intercede boldly for our steadfast African brothers and sisters . Join us in praising God for using OMS to help equip , prepare , and grow his church in Africa .
For Christ and his kingdom ,
