Making Disciple Multipliers in Africa
In late April, we surpassed a major milestone: we are training more than 10,000 students. Only through God’s enablement and your partnership could we achieve this goal!
Our strategic focus this year revolves around ministry multiplication. As Acts 6:7 emphasizes, “the word of God continued to increase, and the number of disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem.” We continue to equip national church leaders, empower faithful men to serve as coordinators overseeing trainers and classes, and evangelize the lost with the gospel to glorify God.
This concerted effort reflects our dedication to expanding our impact, reaching more people with the transformative gospel message, and making more disciples. We want to highlight some new countries in Africa that CCI began reaching in 2023 and how the Lord is growing the ministry in these places.

In the last 100 years, Africa has experienced phenomenal church growth. David Stevens explained, “It is estimated that the number of Christians in Africa increased from 9 million in the early 1900s to about 380 million by the end of the century. While such rapid growth is encouraging, it brings with it the urgent need of leadership training for the local churches. It is estimated that 90 percent of all pastors in Africa have no formal biblical, theological, or pastoral training.” Christianity in Africa is a mile wide and an inch thick in terms of Bible and theological understanding.
