Miracles have become commonplace in the Horn of Africa with witch doctors burning their magic charms on the floor of a district assembly, demon possessed being set free from their tormentors, murderers surrendering their weapons and loving their enemies instead of killing them, the blind seeing, the deaf hearing, and Gospel-resistant people groups turning their worship and prayer centres into Nazarene churches.

This Book of Acts movement taking place in the Horn of Africa has caused the Church of the Nazarene across the Africa Region to unite in the formation of a revised strategy to facilitate church planting movements throughout the entire Africa continent as we seek God to use us to win the lost and teach them to become Christlike disciples.

This will be accomplished as we train leaders on CPM strategies and encourage them to implement these strategies in their local churches and communities. It is also accomplished through aggressive evangelism through effective tools such as the JESUS Film and intentional follow-up discipleship of new believers. It is my vision and passion to see the movement of God that has begun in the Horn of Africa spread throughout all of Africa and into the world beyond.

Church Planting and Evangelism

Our Vision:

To realize personal and corporate Wesleyan holiness revival, resulting in growth and multiplication of churches where disciples are making disciples in Africa and in the world.

A Church Planting Movement (CPM) is a [1] rapid multiplication [2] of indigenous churches [3] planting churches [4] that sweeps through a people group or population segment.

The term Church Multiplication Movement (CMM) emphasizes not only the planting of churches but the development of churches into mature Christ-centred Communities. Often these two terms are used interchangeably.
