Mike shifts the focus from global conflicts to the remarkable growth of the Christian church in Africa. Despite over 35 active conflicts on the continent and severe persecution in nations like Nigeria—where more Christians were killed last year than in the rest of the world combined—the church is experiencing an unprecedented explosion. From 143 million Christians 50 years ago to over 700 million today, Africa is now home to one in three Christians globally, with an average of 30,000 people coming to Christ daily. Bernard highlights that Africa is transforming from a mission field into a mission force, with South Africa and Nigeria leading in sending missionaries. He urges listeners to recognize this momentum, rejoice in God's work, and become "lavish grace releasers" in this new season for the faith.
