Working in Harmony to Transform a Continent
Africa is a continent of immense and largely untapped resources. It is true that colonialists picked some of the low-hanging fruit, but those years are long gone. We can be assured they did not touch even 5% of the richness with which God has endowned Africa. Today, our huge challenge is to unleash more and more of the power of Africa's divinely-given endowments.
