an Article to share...

A very interesting article from Times Online!! A must read for all those interested in missions in Africa or even elsewhere...

As an atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God:
Missionaries, not aid money, are the solution to Africa's biggest problem - the crushing passivity of the people's mindset

Here's a quote:
"Now a confirmed atheist, I've become convinced of the enormous contribution that Christian evangelism makes in Africa: sharply distinct from the work of secular NGOs, government projects and international aid efforts. These alone will not do. Education and training alone will not do. In Africa Christianity changes people's hearts. It brings a spiritual transformation. The rebirth is real. The change is good."
