The Benefits Of African Ministries To The People

By Janine Hughes


I think it is safe to say that a huge percentage of Africa practices Christianity. There are a number of African ministries that have been set up for the purpose of spreading the word of God. This is essential to ensure that the people have a good spiritual foundation. The moment people hear of God at a young age, they will never forget it even when they grow old.

Most ministries are usually motivated by the word of God. The scripture states that they should go into the world and make disciples of all nations. This is basically the motto of every organization that intends to spread the word of God. They plan and come up with strategies that will prove effective in doing this. They come up with ways to interact with as many people as possible.

During outreach missions a number of people may get saved. Most likely that particular area may not have a church where they can go to as often as they would want. This normally leads to the formation of a church. At the beginning, it can be a makeshift church then given time improvements will be made. This will make the people happy as they will have a place of worship.

Some individuals just wake up and decide that they can preach. I clearly understand that it is a calling. However, it is best when proper training is received. Poverty in a number of regions in Africa may cause most people to lack this training. There some organizations that may offer free training for such individuals. They should definitely take advantage of this.

We always say that the youth are the leaders of tomorrow. For this reason they should definitely be used here. They can be taught on the necessary skills needed to reach out to people. Most of them could be available and in need of something to do. They are important when it comes to school missions as the young people will identify with them.

Ministry is normally done in a number of ways. First the people, identify the problem area that is in a particular place. The people in a region could be going hungry for example. It is smart of them to touch on this area by offering food to this people. A lot of people will commune when they hear this. This is an amazing opportunity to share the word of God and touch lives.

A lot of organizations in Africa partner with others from abroad. The aim of this is to have a larger impact on the African society. They can think of doing concerts to help reach the youth. They can also contribute basic needs to help orphans who barely have anyone to take care of them. They can also visit churches and speak on the awesome works of the Mighty High.

When lives get transformed this leads to others lives being changes. It is like when you throw a stone into water and there is the ripple effect. Preaching the gospel is said to be the only way to heal our ailing land. Join any form of ministry in your church with the aim of making a difference in the life of someone. New members are always appreciated as they can really help out.
