African Missions

African missions refer to initiatives aimed at spreading religious beliefs, primarily Christianity, across the African continent. Historically, these missions emerged during the colonial period, when European missionaries established schools, hospitals, and churches, often influencing local cultures. While early missions contributed to education and healthcare, they also faced criticism for perpetuating colonialism and undermining indigenous beliefs. Today, African missions have evolved, with many local churches actively engaging in mission work, promoting social justice, community development, and interfaith dialogue, reflecting the continent's diverse religious landscape and its role in global Christianity.
