Project Hannah Africa
Africa is the second largest continent covering about 20 percent of Earth’s total land area. Its population is the world’s fastest-growing, with over one billion people currently inhabiting its more than 50 countries. Comprised of at least 3,000 distinct ethnic groups speaking over 2,000 languages, Africa’s people are as diverse as its landscape. But the troubles of Africa’s people are all too common—crushing poverty, rampant diseases and often little-to-no-health care, extreme food shortages, absent infrastructure, unstable governments and deep ties to animism. Above all else, Africa’s people need Jesus.
Project Hannah began in Africa more than 10 years ago in Angola. Women of Hope is now in over 10 languages, the prayer movement is in 30 countries and more—God moved those praying to start mercy ministries in hospitals, prisons and small groups. Even as God strengthens existing ministries, he is opening the door to reach Arabic speakers in North Africa, broaden the French program beyond Ivory Coast and expand outreaches across eastern and southern Africa. Thank you for partnering through prayer.
