We Need Each Other

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! As a body of Christ, we need each other. Paul was very clear when he wrote in Ephesians four sixteen (4:16) that we’re "joined and held together by every supporting ligament, [which] grows and builds itself up in love, with each one doing its work."

As a global community of believers, we’re charged by Christ to work together and fulfill the purpose He left us with: "Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations..." Now I, for one, am so grateful for the team Christ has given us at EE. While we come from different cultures, countries, and backgrounds and have different strengths, God has brought us together to disciple Christians to share their faith. And you know what?

God has also given you a unique gift that you bring to the church to make His love known. So let's persevere together and fulfill Jesus' last command! For more on how you and your church can get started in sharing your faith, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

For God and Country

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! "If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

This promise from God found in second chronicles can give us such hope—even in a time where hope is scarce for our country. But here's the truth: God is faithful; He keeps His promises. So, we must humble ourselves, pray, and seek His face. We must turn from our wicked ways and repent of our sins.

That's the power of the Gospel. When we place our trust in Jesus alone and turn from our sins, when we accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior of our lives...everything changes. And when this happens in person after person, well...our culture and country changes. It heals as we are healed. So let's not delay—let's share the Gospel.

Not in My Country

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! I met a pastor a few years ago who told me that evangelism doesn’t work anymore. He told me you can’t go and talk to people because the culture does not approve. Do you know where this pastor was from?

The African nation of Zambia. Unfortunately, that is a common statement we often hear around the world. However, I asked this pastor if he would be open to come to a training near his home in Zambia and test his theory. Well, during that week, the Gospel was shared with two hundred and thirty-four (234) people with one hundred and fifty-eight (158) giving their lives to Christ. Needless to say, he not only had a change of heart but a renewed passion for sharing the Gospel.

That is what we want to happen in our own countries. Sharing the Gospel is still effective. People are open to hearing the Good News of the Gospel! So let's share. For resources to help you share your faith, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

The Gospel Changes Everything

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! The Gospel changes everything. Can I get an amen?! In our day and age, what's happening in our country and culture makes things look very bleak. But there is a truth that we as Christians believe...the Gospel changes people from the inside out.

And when people are changed, communities change. When communities change, cities are changed; and when cities are changed, nations are changed. The power of the Gospel is salvation for all who would put their trust in Jesus and Him alone. So if we want to change our country and our culture, we need to start with the Gospel. Its transforming power changes hurting, sinful hearts to joyful, peace-filled ones. Because when someone puts their trust in Jesus, He gives them the Holy Spirit who gifts them with these things.

I don't know about you, but I want every person I can tell to know about the love of Jesus and the hope found in Him. So let's get sharing! Visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

Hope in Our Country

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! We should all want hope in our country. But you know what? We'll never have hope in our country until we have hope in our cities.

And we'll never have hope in our cities until we have hope on our streets. We'll never have hope on our streets until we have hope in our homes. And we'll never have hope in our homes until we have hope in our heart. So then, here's the question: how do we get hope in our hearts?

The source is Jesus Christ. Jesus came so that we could have new life. And it is that new life that is the fountain of hope within us. Billy Graham said it well, "For the believer, there is hope beyond the grave, because Jesus Christ has opened the door to heaven for us by His death and resurrection." This eternal hope starts the moment we put our trust in Jesus and carries through all eternity. To learn how to share this hope, visit sharelifeafrica.org
