Today, slightly more than 11% of the world’s population resides in Africa. By 2025, Africa will be the world’s most Christian continent, with an anticipated 633 million Christians.1 Home to 640 million people, Africa’s population is growing rapidly and will top one billion by 2030.2 While Africa faces some of the greatest problems in the world in the form of poverty, inequality, disease and conflict, there is hope in Africa. The Christian Church is poised to exercise great influence on the continent. What this influence includes will largely be determined by the kinds of men and women who lead the Church. Our African partners are finding new and creative ways to train leaders for African realities, from rural ministry to senior theological leadership.
