In this episode, Brother Eric joins Mark Gilmore to discuss the incredible opportunities for Gospel advance in Africa. With over 30 years of experience in missions, Eric shares his journey of church planting, training indigenous leaders, and addressing the need for pioneer missionaries. This episode will challenge you to take steps of faith and embrace God’s call to reach the unreached.

• The spiritual landscape across Africa’s regions and the unique challenges of each.
• Eric’s journey of planting over 40 churches in northern Kenya.
• The importance of discipleship and empowering national leaders for church planting.
• Opportunities for missions in Central Africa and other unreached areas.
• The need for young people to move from surrender to action in responding to God’s call.
• Breaking down the barriers of fear, passivity, and waiting for a “perfect” call.
• Encouragement for teens and parents to embrace faith-driven risk in missions.

• Africa is home to nearly a thousand unreached people groups and an urgent mission field.
• Church planting thrives when every believer is equipped to share the Gospel and disciple others.
• Faith requires action; taking steps toward missions allows God to guide and provide.
• Missions is not history—it’s an opportunity for this generation to make an eternal impact.
• You don’t need a dramatic call; surrender, take steps, and let God direct your path.
