HfA - Background

Liberation and counter liberation struggles have come and gone in the continent, but Africa has not yet become what everyone who lives in it would like it to be. Ideologies have come and gone leaving this continent with the worst social strife, wars, killings, poverty, hopelessness and helplessness that have ever happened in the history of mankind.

One is tempted to agree with the thinking that says; “for all its faults and legacy, the 400 years of colonial rule brought at least a bit of development, education, better health services in some regions, and some economic development”.
However in a very short space of time most of these in many parts of Africa, have been reversed to almost nothing; all in the name of building better Africa.

What then shall we say is the hope for Africa?

It is this background which made us feel that the future and the hope of this continent will depend upon the degree and extent to which the churches, and missionaries, willing to work together, bring about change of hearts and direction.


  • We need first of all to pray for the church leaders and missionaries, who will have Africa and its people at heart and for committed African leaders who will look beyond their own interests and their comfort zones.
  • We need to pray for the eradication of corruption and selfishness first from the church leadership and then the secular leadership.
  • We feel that the Lord has impressed upon our hearts, the need to stand up and bring together for training credible and accountable men of God in different parts of Africa. This applies especially in the most affected regions where there is conflict, disaster, the legacy war and to the most unreached communities of Africa.
  • We must;
    • stand together,
    • as a strong force,
    • joining hands,
    • sharing resources
    • and building strong mission teams in almost all the affected regions of Africa.

We are impressed by the initiative and advocacy of Africa renaissance started by President Thabo Mbeki. It is in that very same spirit of Africa renaissance that we feel the church should also play a pivotal role. With the help of the Lord we have already started in South Africa. A strong and committed team of mission workers has been formed under the name “Hope for Africa Missions”

We started in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, and there are plans for advancing into Lesotho, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo; then into Sudan, Angola and will continue until we cover most of the affected regions of Africa.

This we believe is the vision born at the right time for our war torn and almost no-go regions of Africa,
We believe this will help us to build a strong united force of missionaries from different parts of Africa who will work together for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
