Christian Daily International - Africa section·🇸🇬 Singapore·
The Rev. Jonas Kang, chairman of the COALA mission network, addressed leaders in Singapore from Oct. 5-7, urging churches in Asia, Africa, and Latin America to welcome missionaries sent by one another. He noted that the Global South now sends the majority of cross-cultural missionaries, rising from 12% in 1970 to an estimated 61% by 2026. Kang proposed that Southern churches shape their own mission strategies, focusing on unreached people groups and operating under local oversight. The gathering concluded with the Singapore Statement, emphasizing reliance on the Holy Spirit and contextual theology as Christianity reshapes globally.
World Without Orphans has released new resources for Orphan Sunday, observed on the second Sunday of November. The initiative encourages congregations to focus on small, local actions rather than large-scale programs to support orphaned and vulnerable children. Materials include a toolkit, prayer guide, and webinar. The organization emphasizes that caring begins with prayer and asks churches to identify their next faithful step. This approach aims to move believers from prayer to practical action and cooperation with other groups. Resources are available on the World Without Orphans website to help communities foster safe, loving environments for children.

The Mombasa Pastors Fellowship has urged the Kenyan government to upgrade the Nairobi-Mombasa highway to a dual carriageway following a deadly collision on October 25 near Mtito Andei. The crash killed 24 people, including three pastors, and injured dozens. Reverend Elijah Waini stated the single-lane design contributes to danger on this busy route. The group is also raising funds to support bereaved families and cover education costs for orphaned children. This appeal follows recent accidents on the same road, prompting officials to question why safety improvements have not yet been implemented.

The film is available in multiple languages and includes free educational resources. This initiative aims to make the gospel accessible to Nigeria’s large youth population, particularly in smaller community settings lacking extensive church resources.
