The Challenge in Southern Africa

Research reveals that thousands of communities in the Southern Africa remain untouched by the transforming presence of a healthy church. At the current church growth trends, most will remain beyond the reach of a local church… unless the Body of Christ is mobilized for church planting. Healthy churches planted and growing right where people live, place Jesus in their midst. A local congregation of believers where men, women and young people live out the life of Christ in His beauty, power, compassion and forgiveness is a powerful agent of transformation in a community.

There is no better way to disciple a nation and it is undoubtedly the strategy given to us in the New Testament!

"The very heart of reaching cities with the gospel is the planting of new churches." Bennie Mostert (Jerico Walls Int.)

"The CPA is a significant movement providing momentum to the transformation process." John V. Thomas (ACTS - Cape Town)

"Systematic, strategic church planting is the only way to seeing real transformation in our townships and cities." Jack Baloyi (MAWINSO - Tshwane)
