A STORY OUT OF AFRICA

Darkest Africa. A dying pagan. A rumour of good news.

It took only a moment to tell the Story of Redemption, but long enough to pass from death to life. A new King, new citizenship. The woman ‘declared for God’ in the midst of death, forbidding ancestor worship at her burial. A seed which bore fruit in a land of rising light in the midst of darkness, godly worship in the place of animism, care for man through education.

All because of the ‘old, old story of Jesus and His love’, a desire for God’s kingdom to flourish rather than man’s.
