The event (in English and French) highlighted John Stott\u2019s centenary and gave updates about Langham Preaching\u2019s impact in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Femi Adeleye, Director for Langham Preaching Africa, outlined aspects that he is thankful to God for this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These included: unique partnerships with local churches; preaching clubs that are able to connect with each other despite Covid-19; and theological institutions that have invited Langham Preaching to help equip their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grateful for Langham’s influence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Testimonies were shared about the impact John Stott and Langham Preaching have had across Africa for more than a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bishop Martin Breytenbach, from Limpopo South Africa, spoke about being grateful for Langham Preaching\u2019s influence in his region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, as a result of Langham Preaching training, pastors in his diocese were able to apply the word of God to issues discussed at a Synod. They could discern truth from falsehood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipping pastors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can watch his video testimony<\/a><\/u><\/strong> that was shown during the Zoom call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new International Director of Langham Partnership Rev Tayo Arikawe also addressed the meeting. He gave thanks to God for the continuity of the life and legacy of John Stott in Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the West is now seeing the impact of John Stott\u2019s ministry in Africa, in what is called ‘reverse mission’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unity emphasised<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oboletswe Matlhaope, who is the General Secretary of the Association of Evangelicals in Africa and a Langham Graduate, brought an exhortation from John 17. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasised the need for unity, based on the oneness of Jesus with the Father. He also spoke about faith in Jesus irrespective of cultural and linguistic differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uncle Emmanuel Oladipo, one of the pioneers of Langham Preaching in Africa, closed the meeting in prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next \u2018Langham Preaching Sunday in Africa\u2019 will be held on 22 June 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
