Action plans for the Horn
of Africa and North
Africa
Horn of Africa: Ethiopia, Somalia and Djibouti
1. Go East and Go North as these areas are the
least evangelized areas.
2. Priority groups to be engaged: The Somali,
the Afar and the Harerge Oromo
3. Least evangelized classes to be engaged:
Children, Pastoralist Communities, Cities
and Expatriates (Chinese, Arabs…)
Conclusion: The Horn
 In the light of the blessings, the challenges and the
opportunities, the evangelical body has a great potential
to reach out the above listed un-reached peoples and
even others who lives within the country and beyond.
The greatest and immediate need for the Church in
Ethiopia is to have a central body that can mobilize the
body of Christ for cooperation and effective missions.
For this reason, we have agreed, committed ourselves,
and formed a committee to work for the establishment
of the Evangelical Missions Association.
Sudan
 1. Connect with North Sudan Mission to Muslims
(NOSUMU) to coordinate and focus and carry the
vision of reaching the UPGs of Sudan.
 2. Direct connection to local congregations and
network among the denominations.
 3. Include church leaders to facilitate and delegate
mission representatives in various churches.
 4. To compile information on who is doing what
among the UPGs in the Sudan
North Africa
1 Urge the “Go North” Initiative to connect in
dialogue with the North African Partnership
(NAP)-which meets in January of each year

liberty issues related to North Africa. Set My
People Free Initiative
(smpftwm.media@gmail.com)
NAMB
RAPID CHURCH MULTIPLICATION
North Africa
3. Continue to encourage ongoing dialogue between
MANI and NAP
Our desire would be for North Africa to be
considered an official region of MANI with appropriate
representation
We realize there are issues of importance which
would need to be addressed including security issues
for North African participants
4. We encourage Francophone Africa Churches to
engage in French Speaking North Africa
East Africa
 Strengthen existing National Initiatives (e.g FTT
in Kenya) and catalyze initiation of National
Initiatives within the region where none exist
operationally.
 All elements need to be begun or strengthened
– prayer, mobilization, training, sending, etc.
 Encouraging each country delegation to have
follow-up meetings within next one month to
further develop action plans.
East Africa
 Ensure that active Country Assessment Process
teams are strengthened, or where none exist, that
they are started.

Southern Africa Go North Initiative as part of our
strategy.

Irrespective of the development stage of the NI, we recognise the
contribution each nation can make and that a determined effort to
build collaboration across focus areas will lead to greater impact

Continue the CAP process and especially improve the
communication between each NI and the regional Data Team

Heads of Church
Q 1: Practical steps to mobilize the whole church to take the whole Gospel to
the whole world.

Disciple members into missions programs at local level

Break the barriers between the laity and the clergy on the mandate of
Missions.
Q 2: How do we motivate the Church to be involved in missions

Motivation for missions must begin with the church leaders using the
existing structures in different countries and MANI playing the
advocacy role.
Q 3: Challenges and outcomes

Suspicion between mission agencies and local churches

Leaders agreed that Ghana will host a Summit for leading Church
and Mission leaders in Africa in 2013.
African Diaspora
 Efforts should be made in 3 directions
 Effort should be made to build a network in
each Diaspora region and then link them
together. Links are already established in
Europe in the Americas, concerning South
America some contacts have been taken here
during the consultation. Asia end specially
China is to be contacted as well. The Pacific
is to be finalize
African Diaspora
 Help African churches in the Diaspora
in transforming mentality: Africans
should start thinking that African
descends include those who are not
born in Africa. Encourage these
churches to think mission end be open
to other as well Europeans or other
regions as African of other tribes or
countries.
African Diaspora
 Africans of the Diaspora should take
initiative of reconciliations with their
brothers of the forced Diaspora mainly of
South America (Brazil, Guatemala etc.)
this step is important for the integration
of the forced Diaspora in mission efforts
towards Africa.
