Region:

Africa

Africa is the world’s second largest continent; it is a spectacular and awe-inspiring place with a diverse landscape that includes jungles, deserts, mountains, and glaciers. It is the only continent that lies in all four hemispheres of the Earth, and it contains 54 of the world’s 190+ independent countries. Africa’s expansive landscape is divided into two regions: North Africa (which is culturally and ethnically linked to the Middle East) and Sub-Saharan Africa.

In contrast with the breadth and beauty of its landscape, life in Africa is both difficult and harsh. Africa is the world’s second most populous continent, yet has the world’s lowest life expectancy and the world’s highest rate of HIV/AIDS. Gospel hope is needed.

Though there is a great deal of religion in Africa, most of it amounts to little more than religious noise and confusion. Syncretism, witchcraft, and immorality are rampant; doctrinal confusion is found even among those who truly believe. In spite of these things, the Church is steadily growing and maturing in small pockets throughout the continent.

In 2000, HeartCry first partnered with Kabwata Baptist Church of Lusaka, Zambia, to plant churches throughout Africa. Since then, strong relationships with other churches have allowed us to partner in the planting of many churches across Southern and East Africa.
