Pastor Rick Warren has urged African Evangelical leaders to take the lead in fulfilling the global mission of the Church.
Addressing the General Assembly of the Association of Evangelicals in Africa via livestream from California, Warren highlighted Africa’s significance in the future of Christianity.
He noted that Africa is now the most Christian continent, with over 430 million believers, and called on the African Church to lead.
“The future of the Church is southern, urban and young,” he said, adding that Africa is ready to lead the global mission to complete the Great Commission.
