About Us
MISSION STATEMENT:
The
Unity for Africa biblically inspired forum where the
people groups and Christian denominations of Africa reconcile
with each other through the process of confession, repentance
and restitution, providing the healing and blessings of God for
the individuals, groups and economies of Africa.
Teams
from the United States, Europe and Africa join together to bring
Crusades and Reconciliation Conferences to the Nations in Africa
where God leads. God brings salvation, repentance and
reconciliation. The lost are redeemed, the Saints are
encouraged, and the Body of Christ comes together in unity!
CRUSADE HISTORY:
Unity
for Africa has a foundation of 7 years of Nigerian crusades.
Since 1992 every December teams from the United Stats and Europe
have labored together for 4 weeks to reconcile sinners with our
ever-merciful God.
These teams have left their homes, families and fobs for the
“Great Commission”.
God has brought impressive results! The lost have been redeemed,
the Saints have been encouraged, and the Body of Christ has come
together in unity!
The team has “suffered persecution” just as Christ said they
would:
 In 1994 team members
were stoned and beaten.
Some were arrested,
jailed and threatened with death.
But God is faithful –
He has delivered them!
These persecutions have produced much fruit:
Revival has spread
throughout the area.
A strong unity now
exists between churches and denominations.
Thousands have made
decisions for Christ and been placed in local churches!
