African Missions Support Group

The Vision:

The African Missions Support Group seeks to raise support for Missionary activities in Africa from Africans in Diaspora and Interested Supporters for the propagation of Christianity in Africa in the next decade of the 21^st Century.

Rationale:

Missionary work in Africa is in dire need of help. This is as a result of a combination of factors. The changing landscape of Africa, the increasing terror threats and Islamic attacks on Christian Institutions and Missionaries -the most recent being the Boko Haram violence in Nigeria, where 3 Pastors were decapitated, as well as the resource gap that is occasioned by the challenges of poor infrastructural and human capital development, corruption and bad leadership in many African countries. Added to this is the Islamic agenda for Africa, which is a new frontier of spiritual warfare that must be engaged strategically. For example, South Sudan ( a predominantly Christian and animist part of Sudan, which is due for independence, has suddenly been thrown into warfare through the sponsorship of break away groups to neutralize the plan for independence, among many other issues.

The AMSG is therefore designed to create a pool of resources to support new Missionary activities across Africa. The new Missionaries would be professionals who engage the development process, as well as propagate the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Our Mandate: ‘Occupy Till I Come’ Luke 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. Christ’s clarion call to believers to continue to press forward the Mandate till every nation hears the Gospel, even as we awaits the Second Coming of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. If you cannot go, then your resources can send others!

Our Needs: We require:

• v Educational and Health Volunteers/Missionaries
• v Infrastructure Support: Buildings, Homes, Schools and Education Support Centres.
• v ICT Equipment and Software Support- including web development.
• v Materials Support – Borehole facilities, Books, Clothes, Shoes, Toys etc.
• v Strategic Development Advisors to engage local government and thereby direct development appropriately.
• v Effective Communication Strategists-The Church in Africa is doing much, but little awareness.

v Financial Support to carry out this Mandate.

Our Strategy:

• ü We will build a College in Southern Sudan to help raise new leadership for the emerging Christian Nation.
• ü We will execute Medical Missionaries across communities in poor and very needy areas of Africa.
• ü We will build Libraries to Support Missionaries and Bible Schools.
• ü We will provide Leadership Training for Young Christian Workers especially in underserved areas.
• ü We conduct Community Prayer Outreaches to break the Power of Satan in many traditional Communities in partnership with other Ministries.
• ü We will donate, books, clothes, shoes and food to the very needy in the areas of missionary assignments.

Our Accountability Statement: We will provide an annual audited report to our supporters and bear true allegiance to Christ in the management of resources. An International Advisory Board will oversee this initiative.
