“ The growth of the African Church in particular is jaw-dropping. In 1900 there were fewer
than 9 million Christians in Africa. Now there are more than 541 million. In the last 15
years alone, the Church in Africa has seen a 51 per cent increase, which works out on
average at around 33,000 people either becoming Christians or being born into Christian
families each day in Africa alone.”
