Right now in Africa:
-
Economic poverty in Africa reaches 49% of the population.
-
Due to poverty, there is a lack of access to (and therefore fluency in the use of) digital resources of all kinds. hindered by lack of access and fluency.
In most of the world, the “under 25” demographic is born immersed in access to digital technology.
-
Technological fluency is now pivotal to both education and financial success.
-
Due to social media’s effects on and relevance to all aspects of life, a person’s global understanding and impact on others is greatly hindered by lack of access and fluency.
-
New Christians and new pastors in Africa receive very little in the way of personal support, resources, or training in understanding and applying the Word of God.
-
New pastors may receive “one year” of training in the form of one half-day per week from a large church-planting charitable organization.
New pastors receive no training from those who provide them with translated Bibles.
-
Education--including reading and writing--often takes place in a different language from a person’s vernacular. For this reason, it is often difficult for Christians to make good use of the Bibles provided to them, whether they are educated or not.
