Africa’s role in world evangelization
One of the great challenges today we face in Africa is to: disciple and train workers for the mission task, and to have needed recourses for the task. Oswald Smith, founder of The People’s Church, Toronto, encouraged churches in his time to support the task of missions. He said: “As fast as the money comes in , the message goes out. We have the workers. We have the organization. All we need are the funds with which to do the work. Give us the tools and we will finish the job.”
