Purpose - Mission Africa

In 1887, God challenged Samuel Bill from Belfast, Northern Ireland about those who had never heard the Gospel in the Qua Iboe region of Nigeria. Without backing or promised funding, Samuel put his life in God’s hands and left for Nigeria.
God used this ordinary man and many others since to do extraordinary things for His glory and to make His name great where it was previously unknown.
When the name changed from Qua Iboe Mission to Qua Iboe Fellowship, this reflected the deep conviction to do mission with nationals rather than to them. As God continued to bless those serving Him and led them into unreached areas of Nigeria and then other countries, we changed our name to Mission Africa.

Just as Samuel Bill sought to make the name of Jesus great when He was called so we still exist ‘to partner with local churches and ministries in Africa to obey Christ's command to reach the lost with the Good News of Jesus, demonstrate His love and make disciples.'
Mission Africa remains committed to pioneering evangelism through working with our African partners to reach the unreached with Gospel.

Nigeria

Nigeria is a diverse country with 220 million people and over 400 different ethnic languages. It is often called the ‘Giant of Africa’ due to the diversity of its people, languages, population, oil and other natural resources.
Mission Africa works in partnership with the United Evangelical Church (UEC) to train church leaders, provide medical and pastoral care, and minister to people with HIV/AIDS, orphaned children and vulnerable women. This remains a huge challenge within Nigeria.

Kenya is a land of contrasts with stunning beaches, towering mountains, modern cities, some of Africa’s best wildlife attractions and a growing church. Yet it is a country ravaged by poverty, AIDS and corruption.
Mission Africa has an ongoing partnership with the Presbyterian Church in East Africa (PCEA). We assist in church strengthening, reaching out to the vulnerable and also sending volunteers and medical electives on short term trips.

Largely semi–desert, Chad is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. It has more unreached people than any other African nation.
Mission Africa is currently working in partnership with The Evangelical Alliance Mission (TEAM) under the Evangelical Church of Chad. This is a ministry to vulnerable and marginalised women as well as discipleship and training within the local churches.

Landlocked and situated on the edges of the Sahara Desert, Burkina Faso is a country troubled by drought, famine and civil unrest.
Although Mission Africa no longer has personnel in Burkina Faso, we are committed to partnering with and supporting the Eglise Protestante Evangélique Church (EPE) through school ministry and evangelism and training.

Situated along the southern coast of West Africa, Ivory Coast shares borders with Liberia, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Ghana and has a coastline on the Gulf of Guinea. It is the third most populous country in West Africa.
Mission Africa has established a new partnership with a local Bible College to train and equip students from the Ivory Coast and its neighbouring countries.
