Share Life Africa

A Dangerous Prayer

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Jesus is alive! He is risen! And you know what that means? Our risen Savior has power over death and sin. And when we put our trust in Him, the Word of God says that the same power that rose Jesus from the grave lives in us! And it changes us from the inside out.

For Ron, the change caused him to begin to pray dangerous prayers. Do you know what do I mean by dangerous prayers? Well, after being a Christian for two years, Ron prayed, "Lord, I’ll be anything You want me to be, I’ll go anywhere You want me to go, and I’ll do anything You want me to do." And guess what? God answered his prayer and called him into full-time ministry. Ron was called to Africa, where millions have heard the Gospel through his ministry there.

Your Story Starts With His Story

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Personal stories are compelling. Our experiences not only shape who we are, they connect us to others as we tell them our story.

The Bible tells us that we will defeat Satan by "the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony." Your story is powerful! And on this Easter week where we celebrate Jesus' death and resurrection, let me remind you—your story starts with His story. His death was the sacrifice for our sins and He gives us His perfect righteousness when we put our full trust in Him. And now, we have a relationship with God that has us on a journey of sanctification —where He is changing us from the inside out.

As you share with others how your decision to put your faith in Jesus has impacted your life, you will gain opportunities to tell them the Good News of the Gospel. For more resources to help you share your faith this Easter, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

Vincent’s Story

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Today, I want to tell you about Vincent Wanjala. He started as a field worker with Evangelism Explosion (EE) in 1998 and hails from Kenya. Now, I remember distinctly in 2014 when Vincent boarded a boat to the remote island off the coast of Africa.

On the island, Vincent and his EE team faced tough conditions in order to hold a week long evangelism training. Vincent told me later, “What was important was not the dangerous boat ride, threatening rains or sleepless mosquito nights, but the many people that made professions of faith in Jesus Christ that week.” You know today, Vincent has served twenty-five years in ministry and personally trained over fifteen thousand pastors how to disciple Christians to share the Gospel. Only God knows how many millions of people have come to saving faith in Jesus through the work of this faithful servant.

This is a testimony of the power and result behind God’s calling! For more on how you can share your faith, visit sharelifeafrica.org

Yuen-Woh’s Story

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! This week, as we talk about the team of harvesters God has raised up for the Gospel to go forth, I’d be remiss if I didn't share with you a few of the many amazing leaders we have been blessed with at Evangelism Explosion (EE).

Reverend Yuen-Woh Voon is our Vice President for Asia and spends his time, energy, and talents raising up leaders and trainers to equip the Asian church to share the Gospel. And it’s not an easy task—Asia has 44% of all the people groups of the world. And of these seven thousand people groups, 73% are unreached. Reverend Voon and the national ministries are striving to disciple local churches in Asia to share their faith, and some of these congregations are in some of the toughest places in the world to be a Christian. And yet, they’re seeing God's faithfulness.

So please! Be in prayer for our brothers-and sisters-in-Christ in Asia and for Reverend Voon. For more on how you can share your faith, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

The Call

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Do you know that you’ve been called by God to missions? Now, you might be thinking, "John, I support missionaries, but I couldn't be one!" EE’s founder, Dr. D. James Kennedy, wanted desperately to be a missionary to Africa. He tried so hard to be placed there; but at the last minute, he was told that due to health reasons he couldn't go.

He realized he couldn't be a missionary overseas. God instead led him to pastor a tiny little church plant in Florida where God gave him an outline and program to help disciple His congregation to share their faith. And in 1996, that discipleship program had traveled to every single nation on the earth,and the Gospel was changing lives. God fulfilled the call that he placed on Dr. Kennedy's heart in a way he never expected. And you know, God will use you the same way.

He has placed you in your community, at your job, in your family to share the message of His love with. For resources on how you can do that, visit sharelifeafrica.org
