Association of Evangelicals in Africa: Afroscope Newsletter End of Year 2012

Christmas Greetings

Another year rolls away! The year 2012, like any other year has had its highs and lows, the changing fortunes of the movement of time in space, the vicissitudes of life on this side of eternity.

The significance of our gathering is manifested by the resolutions and Dakar declarations, among others. The resolutions highlight core elements of the work of the movement for the next couple of years.

Theological Reflections

Africa is a blessed continent; indeed blessed with many resources that can make of it a paradise. These resources are natural, mineral, energy and even human. Spiritually it is a known fact that Africa is even more blessed than any other continent in the world, with new churches being established daily. Experts rightly predicted that from this continent the gospel will soon be taken to other parts of the world, including to those who once brought it to us… Read more
