Africa’s Hope, an Assemblies of God World Missions ministry, works with Africa’s growing national churches to raise up and train Spirit-filled leaders. These pastors and workers will lead nearly 43,000 congregations in helping to bring in a new spiritual harvest in Africa and around the world.

The African churches have experienced unprecedented and exponential growth since 1990, when the Decade of Harvest was launched by the Assemblies of God. See for yourself:

• The number of African Assemblies of God churches has grown from 11,688 to 42,880 — 267 percent growth!

This incredible growth multiplies the need for leaders to sustain and guide this great harvest. Africa’s Hope believes in partnered strengths. Working with the African churches, Africa’s Hope will help train leaders through four means of partnership:

• Student scholarships will help Bible school students financially and academically as they train for ministry.
• Faculty scholarships will help Bible schools meet the high demand for quality ministry trainers.
• Educational resources — such as textbooks, study guides, computer equipment and other academic materials — will help broaden training. These resources are extremely difficult to find on the continent.
• Consultations will provide urgently needed practical help and advice for the areas of curriculum development, local fundraising projects, and campus development and management.
