One life at a time, we see ourselves being used by God not only to be accountable to one another in our walk with Christ but also to become aware that we have a role to infiltrate every sphere of life and light a candle in the darkness. Business, politics, education and sports are some of the opportunities for us to influence the rise of Christian leaders who can proclaim Him without fear. These are also the areas where sustainable, progressive African communities are anchored. If we are going to fight the basic problems of disease, illiteracy and poverty and win, then the God-formula is the only formula, godliness in leadership.
We are faced with a daunting challenge: unemployment is growing. Over 50,000 new graduates come out of universities in most African nations and only about 5,000 new permanent jobs are created yearly. Our education system isn’t doing much to empower the next generation to be job creators. We see this as a problem to solve and bring glory to God.
By implementing business models that are ethical, environmentally friendly and run with excellence of service, we turn every ordinary opportunity into a potential platform in which to minister grace and God’s plan for mankind.
“And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.”
We have the power to transform communities. Our dream is to create a movement of well-rounded influencers anchored in the Word of God everywhere we are. Corruption is eating our continent fast; inequalities are rising. If our countries were as Christian as they claim, we would “do to others as we would have them do to us.” It is not going to be easy, but we know God is with us. Through Master’s Men Africa we offer an alternative, the assurance that there is enough for all and that our God holds the future in His hands.
