Share Life Africa

Every Nation

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! "Therefore,go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit..."

In Christ’s Great Commission, He specifically told us to reach and disciple men and women all over the world —from every people group, every tribe, tongue, and nation. As we talk about reaching the nations this week, I'd love to share with you a moment I’ll never forget. Back in 1996, EE(Evangelism Explosion) became the first Christian ministry to be planted in every nation of the world. There was this grand ceremony where someone from every nation carried their flag. Their legacy continues today as Christians around the world are still equipping the church to share their faith. The Gospel continues to go forth in power in some of the toughest places on earth.

So let's join our brothers and sisters around the world in sharing the Good News of the Gospel! If you’d like to learn how, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

The Eternal Love of God

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Why do we traditionally use diamonds in wedding rings? Well, it's because of that age-old phrase, "A diamond is forever." They symbolize the never-ending love that a couple vows to one another.

Now, truthfully, diamonds do not last forever...yes, they are sturdy rocks, but all things on earth decay or break. You know what is forever? The eternal, never-ending love of God. Once we put our trust in Jesus Christ alone for our salvation, we gain a priceless relationship with God. And it is eternal. His love for us will never end. In Isaiah fifty-four verse ten (54:10) God tells us, "'For the mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken,' says the Lord, who has mercy on [us]."

This truth changes everything. Who do you know that needs to hear about the everlasting love of God? Learn more on how to share your faith at sharelifeafrica.org

DL Moody and Children

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! More than a century ago, the great evangelist, DL Moody, was asked when leaving an evangelistic meeting, “How many were saved tonight?” Moody replied, “Two and a half.”

Don’t you wonder what he meant by the half? DL Moody’s friend wondered too, so he said, “You mean two adults and one child!” But Moody wisely replied, “Two children and one adult!” You see, he understood that when children come to Christ, they have their whole lives ahead of them. You know, I often hear people refer to children as the church’s future. But children are also a vibrant part of the church today. And now is the time to teach them the Gospel so they can learn it well from an early age. And, yes, children can share their faith very effectively.

Last year, there were children all around the world who learned to share their faith, and they led two million other children to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. To learn more about Hope for Kids, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org

Under a Tree

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! In the book of Proverbs, Solomon writes, "Start children off on the way they should go,and even when they are old they will not turn from it."

Our children are the future. But they’re also our here and now. And the Gospel is for everyone to receive and share. Even children can tell others about Jesus. In fact, in the same way it's important to teach them to read God's Word, and to pray, and to worship; it is our duty to also disciple them in how to share their faith.

In Ivory Coast, the EE (Evangelism Explosion) ministry is passionate in doing just that by any means they can! They’ve held a Hope For Kids club literally under a tree, where hundreds of children have learned how to share the Gospel. And this club is just one of many around the world that has seen over two million children give their hearts to Jesus just last year.

So can children share? Absolutely. And it's our privilege to teach them. For more resources on how, visit sharelifeafrica.org

Children and Living Water

You’re listening to ShareLifeAfrica! Did you know...children are thirsty for the same Living Water that Jesus offers to all? They experience the same broken world that we as adults do—and need the hope and love found only in Jesus.

By The Hand, a non-profit that operates in Chicago, believes this wholeheartedly—so much so that they wanted to hold a Hope For Kids club for five hundred children this past February. And as they walked through the Gospel each week, they saw eighty-four of those children give their hearts and lives to Jesus.

Bethany, a child who received Christ as her Savior during that time, said, "I gave my life to Jesus because He died on the cross for me, He cares for me,and He listens to me when I’m down." Her relationship with Jesus has changed everything for her.

So let's be intentional to share with the children in our community and churches the Gospel, bringing them life, truth, and hope. For more resources, visit our website at sharelifeafrica.org
