All Africa Baptist Fellowship

T he Lord is good, all the time. This year marked a very significant phase in the ministry of the All Africa Baptist Fellowship. We experienced the goodness of God across the four regions and departments of the All Africa Baptist Fellowship (AABF) under the leadership of our Continental President, Pastor Elias Apetogbo. The Baptist family on the continent travelled length and breadth of the world and our continent doing ministry and we attest to God’s faithfulness. So, like the Psalmist, we say of a truth that ‘’ For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endure to all generations.’’ (Psalm 100:5).   The move of God manifested strongly in the areas of Missions with countless testimonies, the Lord sent forth His Words across Africa through the Youth Mission Year (YMY) project with eight young missionaries settling in Ghana, The Gambia, Guinea Conakry, South Africa and Namibia to win the lost to Christ and Disciple infant Christians to maturity. The call al...

  The All Africa Baptist Fellowship is fully committed to defending matters that concern Human Rights, Peacebuilding, Religious Freedom, and Multifaith Relations across Africa. We therefore receive with great concern the ongoing global uproar regarding the largest black nation on earth, Nigeria.

We serve a relational God, and historically, Africans are known to be relational. ...

  The All Africa Baptist Fellowship, a gathering of about 22 million baptized Christians, condemns the post-election destruction crisis ravaging our continent. We are undoubtedly empathetic with those whose legal franchise was allegedly stolen or denied, leading to rioting, destruction of lives and properties, and shutdown of the economy of these nations, with the majority of the poor, vulnerable, and homeless suffering direct harm. We therefore appeal to the electoral, government agencies and the general public  in Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Tanzania, and other concerned countries to embrace peace, dialogue, and patriotism, leading to the restoration of normalcy and prosperity in our nations. WE ARE WITH YOU IN PRAYER Let us pray for the: - Reign of peace in Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, and Tanzania. [Isaiah 9:6] - Touch of God on the electoral officers to do the right thing. [Proverbs 2:6] - Healing of the wounds of the aggrieved members of the public. [Psalm 147:3] - Exposure of ...
