A Plain Answer: God's Work in Africa - Dr. Peter Hammond
God is at work all over the world. He is bringing the nations to Himself. We don't see it sometimes because of our presuppositions that tell us it isn't possible. But it is. And it is happening. "For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet." 1 Cor. 15:25. Years ago, Puritan John Winthrop quoted Matthew's Gospel (5:14) "a city on a hill cannot be hid," -- Winthrop warned his fellow Puritans that their new community would be "as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us", meaning, if the Puritans failed to uphold their covenant with God, then their sins and errors would be exposed for all the world to see: "So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken and so cause him to withdraw his present help from us, we shall be made a story and a byword through the world". America has broken God's law and we really are under His curse unless we repent. Its only going to get worse. But it doesn't need to. Revival and reformation is God's perfect will for us.
We who live in America sometimes think that the world revolves around our 332 million people. Well, it doesn't. How proud that is. It is also wrong. If we can pause for just a minute and stop watching the corporate media, we do well to observe what God is doing in other countries around the world. Today we consider Africa. Consider the church growth in Africa - its higher than the rest of the world. in 1800 there were less than 5 million Christian in Africa. In 1900, the number rose to 7.5 million. In 1979 this rose to 115 million. Now, in 2024, this number is 680 million Christians in Africa. By 2050, the number is anticipated to be 1.2 Billion Christians in Africa. That means there will likely be more Christians in Africa than the rest of the world combined. That assumes the growth rate stays the same in the other countries (which it may not).
Our guest runs a mission by the name of Frontline Mission. www.FrontlineMissionSA.org
