American Baptist Leaders Visit Africa

From October 15 till October 30, American Baptist leaders will visit missionaries serving with International Ministries along with their mission partners in South Africa, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Follow their journey by reading their daily blog entries and see how God is using American Baptists as hands and feet of Christ.

The blog will provide on-the-spot reflections, experiences and images as the group visits with International Ministries (IM) missionaries serving as Christ’s hands and feet to some of the poorest parts of the world. The group will meet as well with their national counterparts, congregations and government leaders to see first-hand the faces of our neighbors, of our brothers and sisters in Christ, who live in economic jeopardy.

This visit was organized by IM’s area director for Africa, Rev. Eleazar O. Ziherabere to connect with fellow Baptists in Africa, including the Baptist Community of Congo, the Baptist Convention of Zambia and the Baptist Convention of South Africa.

On the trip are: Rev. Dr. Reid Trulson, IM executive director; Rev. Dr. Aidsand F. Wright-Riggins III, National Ministries executive director; Rev. Sumner M. Grant, the Ministers and Missionaries Benefit Board (MMBB) executive director; Virginia Holmstrom, American Baptist Women’s Ministries (ABWM) executive director; and Rev. Dr. A. Roy Medley, ABCUSA general secretary. All will make contributions to the blog.
