\t\t\t\tFebruary 2, 2026 An<\/em><\/strong> Amazing Fact: <\/em><\/strong>Africa is home to 54 countries, more than 1.4 billion people, and some of the fastest-growing Christian populations on Earth. It is also home to the world\u2019s largest English-speaking city (Lagos)<\/em><\/p>\n and French-speaking city (Kinshasa)\u2014making Africa one of the most strategic mission fields on the planet.<\/em> Mariam had been thinking about the book of Revelation\u2014did it mean anything for our time? But her husband, David, was skeptical. Like many, he believed Revelation was<\/p>\n mostly symbolism\u2014interesting but impractical. Searching on YouTube, they were watching an Amazing Facts program within minutes. What they found through the video you made available changed everything.<\/p>\n Growing up in Egypt, Mariam and David were raised in a Christian tradition rich in ritual but light on personal Bible study. \u201cWe were nominal Christians,\u201d David said. \u201cNo Bible. No prayer. No real spiritual life.\u201d<\/p>\n One evening, David found a sermon by Pastor Doug about hellfire. Determined to test everything, David downloaded six Bible translations\u2014three in Arabic and three in English. He paused the sermon at every verse, carefully checking Scripture for himself.<\/p>\n What he discovered stunned him. \u201cIt was all there,\u201d he said. \u201cExactly as the Bible said.\u201d Mariam and David began studying together. Four months later, they were baptized. Today, they are active in their local church and share Arabic-subtitled Amazing Facts truth-filled programs with those who are open and searching like they once were.<\/p>\n This is what happens when truth is available at the exact moment the Holy Spirit convicts someone to search. Friend, stories like this are unfolding again and again across Africa\u2014because you and other faithful co-laborers refuse to stay silent!<\/p>\n Over the past decade, your gifts have built a gospel footprint across this vast continent. Today, 60 Amazing Facts Bible workers\u2014including 12 evangelists\u2014serve throughout Africa.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how it works: You send teams into communities\u2014often where no Sabbath-keeping church exists. They study the Bible with families, conduct evangelistic meetings, disciple new believers, and plant churches.<\/p>\n That\u2019s not all. You are grabbing the attention of millions more through TV stations and web platforms. Our missionaries and Bible workers often report that our African friends are watching Amazing Facts programs and sharing them with their friends. Year after year, God has blessed this work, with 2,500 to 3,000 people baptized annually.<\/strong><\/p>\n But we are not just holding meetings\u2014we are training soul-winners. When you train one evangelist, you reach a city. When you train teams of Bible workers, you reach a nation. And when you establish training centers, you help multiply the impact across an entire continent.<\/p>\n This spring, God is opening a providential door. Karen and I will be traveling to Kenya to conduct evangelism training and revival meetings while the Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism (AFCOE) Africa prepares workers for frontline gospel service.<\/p>\n Kenya is a strategic hub for East Africa, so this visit will prepare the way for an even greater harvest ahead, as many of these workers will go to places I may never personally reach\u2014but you can.<\/p>\n Africans are searching for truth. And truth must be shared now\u2014while hearts are receptive and doors remain open. Your gift today will help train evangelists and Bible workers through AFCOE Africa, equip soul-winners with literature for unreached communities, support evangelism training that multiplies gospel workers, and expand digital evangelism across the continent.<\/p>\n I have a special request this month: It takes less than $70 to help lead a precious soul to baptism. Would you prayerfully consider giving $140 this month to help two people choose baptism?<\/p>\n As a small expression of my gratitude, I will send you my sermon \u201cLift Up Your Eyes.\u201d And please send us your prayer requests. We will pray for them!<\/p>\n Friend, thank you for caring about people you may never meet until heaven\u2014people whose lives are being transformed because you chose to act.<\/p>\n Into all the world,<\/p>\n Pastor Doug Batchelor P.S. Mariam and David found Bible truth because Amazing Facts resources were available exactly when they searched. Millions across Africa are searching right now. Your gift today helps train soul-winners and multiply evangelistic outreach\u2014while the door is open.<\/p>\n Your Next Read<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Amazing Facts Prayer Summit: Hundreds Answer the Call<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" February 2, 2026 By Amazing Facts An Amazing Fact: Africa is home to 54 countries, more than 1.4 billion people, and some of the fastest-growing Christian populations on Earth.
