Christian Missionary to Africa
We're going to take a look at each Christian missionary to Africa through their own blogs - words from their own mouths about what God is doing in the continent of Africa. Africa has been the home of some of Christianity's earliest and strongest churches. Some of the greatest theologians and missionaries have themselves come from Africa. Today, many churches still thrive in Africa. But in other places, the name of Christ is barely known. But each Christian missionary to Africa has her or his own story to tell about how Jesus is building His Church. Where are these Christian missionaries in Africa? They're all over! Angola, Cameroon, Kenya, Niger, Uganda, and Nigeria are all popular locations for missionary bloggers. Let's look at a few of the best blogs started by a Christian missionary to Africa:
Missionary in NigeriaKids’ Doc in Jos journals the life of Dr. Mike Blyth, pediatrician at Evangel Hospital in Jos, Nigeria. Dr. Blyth has been blogging just about forever, and always has fascinating stories to tell, and pictures to show. If this is something that interests you, you may find yourself losing an hour or two hearing about the lives that have been touched in this corner of Africa.You can find more about the Blyths by visiting thier website, From Nigeria: With Love...

In Burkina FasoAlso a veteran blogger, Stephen Davies has been giving us tidbits of life with the semi-nomadic Fulani people. Voice in the Desert is the name of his blog, always well written (as it should be - he's also an author and freelance writer in his spare time). Blog entries go back to mid-2001, which makes this blog ancient in the blogging world.
