Africa insight: An unlikely cheerleader

Even though I've seen it posted all over Facebook already, and know it is old news to some, I had to share.

It's definitely not every day you read an article like this, in a major publication, applauding the efforts of Christian missionaries in Africa (!!). And by a person claiming to be an atheist no less:

"Now a confirmed atheist, I've become convinced of the enormous contribution that Christian evangelism makes in Africa: sharply distinct from the work of secular NGOs, government projects and international aid efforts. These alone will not do. Education and training alone will not do. In Africa Christianity changes people's hearts. It brings a spiritual transformation. The rebirth is real. The change is good...

Those who want Africa to walk tall amid 21st-century global competition must not kid themselves that providing the material means or even the know how that accompanies what we call development will make the change. A whole belief system must first be supplanted."
~ Matthew Parris

For the full article: As an atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God
