Today is the 5 th anniversary of the launch of the World Missions Africa Blog.   When we launched on January 1, 2017, we had only on our hearts a message to share about the love of God through our Lord Jesus Christ and on our minds anxiety and questions if anyone at all will read the message we blog.   Here was our first blog post published on January 3, 2017: “Welcome to our blog. World Missions, Africa is making every effort to bring the love of Christ to all humanity. Primarily, we focus on  Africa  now in our physical activities.

When God finally gave me the go ahead to start this blog on the 1st of January 2017, I knew exactly what He wanted of me. There are three key words that propel the blog and they are: Evangelism Witnessing Jesus to those who either have never heard about His sacrifice for them or have not understood the message of salvation.
