but I just think that Africa and a lot of places are just lost causes....

Much of the world was a lost cause before the gospel was conveyed and began its work of redeeming individuals and their cultures.

When there were Christians in Africa (the Ethiopian Coptic Church) in the First Century, human sacrifice was still being practiced in the British Isles and other places in Europe.

Africa will have its day in the sun when much of the West is under sharia.

May God bless and keep you, watchin, and your dedicated colleagues and may you have some wonderful experiences with African Chrisitians who really know what it is to count the cost.

As I've said earlier, there's a big difference between the North Africans and Ethiopians. The Egyptians, Ethipians etc. have been part of the Middle Eastern, Mediterranean 'continent' and thinking for millenia. East Africa is influenced by Asia but W AAfr is a gadforsaken land.
