I have been a church planter my entire adult life. I have planted-directly or indirectly-12 churches here in the States.
This short phrase from a colleague pierced my heart recently. Things in the world are changing so rapidly.
When astonishment and awe hit you of the fruitful testimonies of God working through effective partnerships for His cause, we could not be silent at our recent GACX online board meeting.
It is with great joy that I inform you of the successful launching of Eastern Africa GACX. A total of 123 leaders from 10 countries attended the event in Nairobi, Kenya on March 19, 2015.
This is the age of the church planting movement, while it may have been birthed in South America and sparked in Asia – it has now taken root in Africa.
Leaders of five organizations had initiated GACX in September 2011.
