Christian Aid’s Chicago Event to Focus on African Native Missions

BY SUCCESS KANAYO UCHIME

The forthcoming mission outreach events in Chicago fixed for May 19, 2011, will focus on the needs of native missions in Africa.


This is contained in a report in the monthly online bulletin - Mission Insider of the Christian Aid Mission (CAM) (www.christianaid.org) adding that the northern Illinois and Indiana focus has been called in response to "a new wave of interest" in African native missions from pastors and leaders in the Chicago area.

Speaking on this recent development, a Communication Staff in CAM Virginia headquarters Bill BrayBill Bray said that during the team's visit to Chicago, they will also make a presentation and exhibit at the National Black Evangelical Association Annual Convention in Oak Lawn.

He noted that they’ll also do same at the annual Focus Pastors Conference at Moody Bible Institute, and the U-Turn 2011 Momentum Conference, Dyer, Indiana. In addition they will speak at many church and mission groups almost every night.

"This is the first time we have ever done something like this in Chicago. However, we have to respond to this new wave of interest - especially now with so many African countries in turmoil, revolution and unprecedented church growth,” he stated.

According to Bray, the month-long outreach to Chicago will feature a reunion banquet for friends of the mission, churches, individuals as well as interested guests on May 19. The "all nations" fundraising event at the Omega Banquet Hall in Naperville will answer questions and offer an opportunity for more people to get involved in the reformation in foreign missions.

He stated: “The celebrative evening begins promptly at 6 pm at the restaurant, 4S040 Route 59, Naperville. Reservations are required. For advance tickets contact Dr. David Rhoads at 630-668-2020 or Dr. David Rhoads at Christian Aid Mission, 800-977-5650.

He pointed out that an exciting presentation team from CAM will share the latest news from North Africa and focus on the amazing power of native missions in Africa and that a special report is expected from Rae Burnett who will have just returned from a two-month inspection tour of ministries in Africa.

“Christian Aid is the oldest and largest indigenous mission's agency in the world, assisting over 800 indigenous ministries to 3000 language groups in 122 countries. The mission aids projects in many of the 54 countries on the African continent,” Bray also stated.
