God created every person, and every people group to worship him. Every time someone hears the good news of Jesus in their own language, every time a church begins to sing his praises in a remote community, we see God&#8217;s promises unfolding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lykOktr3YIn79xOvVQtS\">\n<p class=\"e-91000-text encore-text-body-medium encore-internal-color-text-subdued uSZqU39qytkxgjskgv4n\" data-encore-id=\"text\">The Church is alive\u2014growing under trees in Uganda, gathering secretly in North Africa\u2019s ancient cities, and taking root even amidst conflict in South Sudan. Across Africa, God is building his Church in extraordinary ways, but there are still places where no church exists at all, and worship is absent simply because they have not yet heard who Jesus is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lykOktr3YIn79xOvVQtS\">\n<p class=\"e-91000-text encore-text-body-medium encore-internal-color-text-subdued uSZqU39qytkxgjskgv4n\" data-encore-id=\"text\">That\u2019s why mission exists: to invite people into the joy of knowing and worshipping the living God\u2014awakening praise where there has only been turmoil and silence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lykOktr3YIn79xOvVQtS\">\n<p class=\"e-91000-text encore-text-body-medium encore-internal-color-text-subdued uSZqU39qytkxgjskgv4n\" data-encore-id=\"text\">These verses in Zephaniah give us confidence that what we do is not just a good idea, it\u2019s part of God\u2019s plan foretold in Scripture. One day, worship will rise from every tribe and tongue and until then we will serve the church to see Christ-centred churches established so that worship may spread across all of Africa
