Abstract
"Christian Africa' (Bediako, 2000:3-4). In the last century, Christianity in Africa has seen the fastest numerical growth of any continent ever in church history. Down in South Africa, we in the Baptist Union (of Southern Africa, BUSA) have enjoyed a taste of this rapid church growth. But such expansion also brings unique challenges. In this article, I would like to explore these challenges, first on a wider scale and then zooming in on the BUSA, followed by some biblical solutions. We must take a hard look at three critical issues that should compel us to launch church-strengthening movements in Africa that will exalt Christ and bless the nations for generations to come"
