Lessons from Africa: Missions, Education and Preparing the Next Generation, with Karen Elliott (Encore)

Africa remains important for the Church. In the coming generations, the continent will be home for a huge swath of the world’s population. And while there are many challenges facing Africa, including poverty, militant Islam and instability – there are also many exciting things taking place.

Karen Elliott of the Rafiki Foundation joins the Christian Emergency Podcast to share about some of those exciting developments, along with valuable context. She leans on her 30+ years of experience serving as a missionary and leading a missions organization in Africa, the Rafiki Foundation.

Karen discusses how Rafiki has launched classical Christian schools in multiple African nations, to bless orphans and the poor with an education that allows them to think and serve faithfully. The lessons she draws out shed helpful light on the situation in Africa, but also speak to circumstances facing the Church globally.
