Raising a new generation of leaders for a new Africa.
Pamoja is a Swahili word meaning "togetherness." The spirit of Pamoja is to mobilize Africans to come together, united in reaching the continent and beyond with the gospel, and to raise God-fearing leaders of integrity for the continent and the world.
The vision was conceived at the West Africa students conference "Harvest 2003." Since then, Pamoja has grown into one of the largest gatherings of African students, young professionals and church leaders on the continent.
Arise Africa is a prophetic call to this generation a call to return to a Spirit filled life marked by integrity and deep intimacy with God. It is an invitation to be awakened, transformed, and wholly surrendered to His purposes. At the same time, it is a call into mission: to intentionally bridge the missional gaps across our continent and beyond. This includes reaching our peers and “Cousins”, engaging the vast youth population, penetrating digital spaces, influencing marketplace leaders, and planting churches where none currently exist. Arise Africa envisions a generation of believers who are not only rooted in Christ but are also actively advancing His kingdom faithfully living out the gospel in every sphere of influence until every people group is reached.
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.”
