Equipping the African Church to finish the Great Commission - from Africa to the world. A comprehensive initiative to mobilize believers across the continent for strategic gospel engagement among unreached people groups.
Discover the VisionAfrica is home to vibrant Christian communities and also to over 510 million people in 638 unreached people groups. Many of these communities remain untouched by the gospel - not only due to opposition but also because of the lack of strategic awareness, mobilization infrastructure, and contextual resources.

The African Church is spiritually ready and geographically positioned to lead mission efforts but lacks the tools, pathways, and ownership needed for effective engagement. This proposal addresses these needs by offering a scalable, replicable strategy that is rooted in local ownership and designed specifically for African believers.
This expansive vision will be deployed strategically across multiple phases. Our initial scope focuses on two transformative phases that lay the foundation for continent-wide mobilization.
We will distribute a robust, multi-language African People Group Adoption Tool Kit tailored specifically for African audiences and translated into English, French, and Arabic.
These kits will be shared with African denominational and mission organization leaders across 10 strategic countries, inviting them to commit to the People Group Adoption vision.
When denominational and organization leaders commit to the initiative, we will distribute printed People Group Adoption Booklets as an extension of the digital tool kit.
Joshua Project will grant reprinting licenses to partnering organizations, allowing each to place their brand logo on the booklet for mass distribution. A conservative estimate is that over 10,000 local churches and mission stations will receive the tool kit through reprinting.
From discovery to sustained engagement, we walk alongside adopters every step of the way with tools, resources, and accountability.
Each step is supported with videos, prayer cards, case studies, and research guides - so adopters are never left wondering what to do next. We will also implement a tracking and accountability system with check-ins and progress markers, ensuring commitments turn into enduring partnerships and measurable progress.
These kits are not just informative - they are transformative. Designed to create a spiritual bridge between African churches and Africa's unreached people groups, the tool kits provide both inspiration and practical tools to ignite a movement.
Every element of the tool kit has been designed with African realities in mind - ensuring contextualized, accessible, and actionable resources for every stage of engagement.

While equipping the entire African Church, special emphasis will be given to unreached Muslim-majority regions where the gospel need is most urgent and access is most limited.
Engaging the complex spiritual landscape across the Sahel where Islamic influence is strong and Christian presence is often limited or underground.
Mobilizing prayer and strategic engagement for people groups across North Africa where the gospel has had minimal historical penetration.
Addressing the unique spiritual needs of Muslim communities along the East African coastal regions where cultural and religious barriers require sensitive, informed approaches.
This initiative is built on concrete, trackable goals that will demonstrate real kingdom impact across the African continent.
Through strategic prayer initiatives, practical engagement tools, comprehensive training modules, and compelling storytelling, we aim to inspire and equip a generation of African believers to finish the Great Commission - from Africa to the world.
The African Church is ready. The tools are being prepared. The unreached are waiting. This is the moment to mobilize a continent for the glory of God among the nations.
