CMS Helps Open New Era of African Mission

A new era of mission in Africa is to open up this month following a process set into motion last year. The new African-led mission alliance, greatly supported by Church Mission Society, sees its launch this month.

Mission Together Africa (MTA), a coalition of mission organisations and churches, was set up in an effort to revive and expand mission on the African continent.

Speaking to CMS earlier in the month, the coordinator of MTA, Duncan Olumbe, said the mission of the new alliance is to “create an Africa-wide mission movement, in which we seek keenly to play our part as African Christians in the global mission scene”.
