Africa Ministries
Africa has a wide range of climate zones, ethnicity, and topography. Home to about 15% of the world's population, it's estimated there are over 1,000 languages spoken in Africa making it the most multilingual continent on earth. Due to a variety of factors, including corruption and military conflict, Africa remains the world's poorest and most underdeveloped continent. The need for the Gospel is great, but so are the challenges presented by the geographical, linguistic, social, and technological realities of Africa.
TWR Canada, in partnership with TWR Africa, supports ministry work in Africa including sending skilled missionaries, building and maintaining transmitters and stations that broadcast hope throughout Africa, and providing leadership training resources. Our focus in Canada is on the following ministries:
East, Central, and South Africa - English
The Christian church in Africa is growing, and young pastors and lay church
leaders need a sound understanding of biblical leadership principles in order to be effective. Without training, these young leaders are wrongly influenced by tribal cultural
values. As congregations grow and attract the educated and professional classes, these pastors need formal biblical
training but often lack the opportunity and finances to do so.
Burundi - KiRundi language
Good News for All & Jesus is the Answer
Burundi continues to struggle after 40 years of civil war resulted in more than 200,000 deaths. There is a deep need and yearning for healing and restoration. The people need to see the value of life outside of the conflict. They need to hear of the peace and hope that can only come through Jesus Christ.
Mozambique
Words of Hope - Lomwe languageWords of Hope - Makhuwa language
A 20 year civil war resulting in over 900,000 deaths and another 5 million displaced peoples in Mozambique made it impossible for missionaries to bring the Gospel to many people groups. But radio recognizes no political or social barriers, and often can reach remote geographic locations missionaries can't. The Lomwe people need to hear of hope, renewal and restoration that only comes through Jesus Christ. The Makhuwa people live in remote regions missionaries have been unable to reach.
East Africa FamineThe 2011 famine in East Africa, most heavily affecting Somalia and Kenya, continues to devastate many thousands of people.
