“Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and He said to them, ‘So it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem'” (Luke 24:45-47 NASB). It is amazing how far and widespread that proclamation has reached today. It is also amazing where it has yet to be proclaimed. In East Africa, there are many people groups who do not have access to the good news of Jesus Christ. Also in East Africa, there are many people groups in which the gospel has taken root and is thriving. Often the two people groups live near each other. Baptist churches in some areas across East Africa are beginning to hear God’s call to go and make disciples in neighboring people groups and beyond. Ask the Lord to continue calling the African church to take the gospel to African peoples who have not yet heard this good news.
