What will the African Church look like in the next decade—and what will it take to prepare leaders for what is ahead?

In this closing conversation from Africa Rising, Dr. Robert K. Brown is joined by Rev. Walter Timothy and Rev. Robert Mawire to explore the opportunities and challenges facing Christian ministry across Africa.

The discussion considers the need for stronger leadership development and theological education, the relationship between spiritual power and biblical knowledge, and the growing role of technology in ministry. The panel also discusses how churches and Christian leaders can approach tools such as social media and artificial intelligence without losing the relational and spiritual foundations of ministry.

At the heart of the conversation is a compelling vision: Africa is emerging as a significant spiritual, cultural, and technological frontier, and the Church must be prepared to lead with wisdom, integrity, spiritual maturity, and innovation.

In this episode:

• Why Africa needs more equipped Christian leaders and teachers
• Balancing biblical education with the power of the Holy Spirit
• Overcoming fear of new technology in ministry
• Using media, mobile technology, and AI for the advancement of the Gospel
• Equipping African leaders to disciple and transform their own communities
