Angola Africa was a country engaged in a 27 year long civil war, after the discovery of many natural treasures including minerals, oil, etc.

The Soviet Union and Cuba added to the destruction attempting to take charge of the country. Many Christians were persecuted and tribal genocide resulted in the deaths of many. The after effects of the war also were harrowing for the population due to land mines and malnutrition.

And yet many held on to their faith and continued to grow the church.

Our guest today is Fernando Candumbo. He was born in Angola, Africa. He's married to a beautiful wife & has two beautiful children.

Fernando is a committed follower of Christ, he received his primary education in Angola and is now studying for a Masters of Theology at Garrett theological seminary in Evanston, Illinois.

His mission is to help serve the church in renewal. He's a man who can laugh with the joy of the spirit and pray deeply for God's direction in his life.
