Join us for an insightful audio narration of the EPSA (English, Portuguese, and Spanish-speaking Africa) region's reflection on the 40 themes from the Lausanne State of the Great Commission Report. This episode explores profound opportunities and immense challenges within the missional landscape in Africa, aligning with global priorities in missions.

Discover key themes such as the rise of secularism and Islam, the power of media, building trust, and engaging youth and women in missional responsibilities. Gain inspiration from leaders at the Lausanne 4 Africa and Middle East Gathering (L4AM) held in Addis Ababa in November 2023, as they discuss missional priorities for the African church, including:

  • Discerning God’s heart for Africa’s current and future context
  • Embracing the church's responsibility in missions locally and globally
  • Developing communities prepared for the church’s unfolding role
  • Inspiring transformative actions for greater impact

Explore strategic ways to address global issues like political instability, social inequity, and the influence of non-wholesome Christian movements. Learn about the concept of polycentric Christianity, emphasizing cultural sensitivity, localization, and partnerships.

Understand how the African church can uniquely contribute to global missions, potentially reaching strategic regions in Asia and the West. Delve into the rise of secularism, the growth of Islam, and the transformative potential of digital technology in missions.

We will also discuss how trust issues, youth engagement, and the vital role of women in missions are shaping the future of the African church. Join us to explore challenges and opportunities, fostering collaboration and inspiring proactive living of the Great Commission in diverse cultures and contexts.

Tune in and be inspired to advance the global mission together.
