"As an athiest I believe Africa needs God"

James Macpherson put me on to this article - literally amazing.

An extract:
Now a confirmed atheist, I've become convinced of the enormous contribution that Christian evangelism makes in Africa: sharply distinct from the work of secular NGOs, government projects and international aid efforts. These alone will not do. Education and training alone will not do. In Africa Christianity changes people's hearts. It brings a spiritual transformation. The rebirth is real. The change is good.

Excellent food for thought as we prepare to depart for Thailand today.
