Grant and Julia witness thriving church in Sub-Saharan Africa after two decades

Frontiers USA·🇰🇪 Kenya·Nov 2, 2026

Two missionaries spent twenty years in Sub-Saharan Africa, initially facing challenges in sharing the Gospel with a people group that lacked literacy and access to Scripture in their native language. They partnered with linguists to translate the New Testament and taught locals to read. Despite violence and persecution, the young church persevered. One missionary recently visited the region and discovered the community had grown significantly, with multiple generations worshipping and children reciting Psalms in their own language. The outlet highlights this as a testament to long-term discipleship and translation efforts in countries including Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
