A friend forwarded this article from the Times Online (a UK e-zine). It is written by an atheist and makes an excellent case for the need for God in Africa. When we were living in Montana, I (Susan) took a 3 month course called Foundations in Community Development. A huge focus of the course was on the crucial role of worldview in bringing transformation to people/cities/nations... You can bring the greatest social programs to a country, but if the foundational beliefs that are the root cause of the problems the people are experiencing are not dealt with, the social programs will never be effective.
If you are interested in this concept/missions in Africa, click on the link (or paste it into your address bar) and check it out. It is why we are here, and why we've chosen the avenue of Bible study/teaching as our focus for our time in Africa.
