Last Quarter Evangelism (LQE) 2021 has begun and is exploding across 36 nations throughout Africa!

This is year 2 of a youth-designed; youth-led evangelistic outreach across this beautiful continent. Instead of 260k predominantly children and youth evangelists from 2020, we now have approximately one million participating, half of which are now adults! The kids generated so much excitement, it has inspired the adults to join them in sharing the gospel with at least one person every day through December 31st of this year. Hallelujah!

Over 5,000 evangelistic campaigns are happening throughout this quarter, including areas which are closed to the gospel. We praise God they are well on their way to meeting their goal of 30,000 churches participating - including many denominations outside of All Africa Baptist Fellowship. Millions will be hearing the gospel message; some for the very first time.

LQE’s theme this year is, Jesus Loves You! In Nigeria, Kehinde Sarah, a 6th grade student composed a special "Jesus Loves You" song that is being used throughout classrooms. LQE is modeling what it looks like to release and empower children to be on mission.

God is moving powerfully as we see the generations and denominations working together to live out the Great Commandment as they help fulfill the Great Commission.

We need your prayers!

Pray that God will provide a hedge of protection around all the children, youth and adults who are boldly sharing the gospel even in the most difficult-to-reach areas?

Pray for continued unity among the body of Christ as they work together to reach the least and the last?

Pray for an abundant harvest and for God to raise up inter-generational outreaches all over the world?

Update from Chad:

I’m Rev Peter, a missionary serving in Chad. Well as a missionary, evangelism is my daily life. When Last Quarter Evangelism began in 2020, I discussed the opportunity with some AABYF leaders and decided to commit all 3 churches that I oversee to this outreach. We were committed to sharing with someone each day - that Jesus loves them, as well as committing to the online evangelism campaign.  I am very encouraged seeing the response to online evangelism. After putting LQE daily gospel messages in my WhatsApp, I check every day to know who is reading them. It was interesting to learn that my friends whom I lack courage to share the gospel are reading my posts day after day! Recently, at our AABYF office we delayed our Gospel post, and I received a message from a Muslim requesting the post! It was unbelievable. That has caused me me to be more committed and make it a priority.

Update from Ghana:

I am a Prayer Covenant leader in Ghana. Last Friday I visited Yevi basic school in the Akatsi North District where students are involved in Last Quarter Evangelism. It was their worship day. So after the opening prayer I asked, “Who can tell us how the Prayer Covenant teachings have impacted them?” Suddenly I saw a girl of about twelve years raising her hand for the first testimony. When she came forward, she said “Through the teachings I regained my human dignity in society. Before that I felt alone and angry because my father had deserted us when I was born. But I can say JESUS is both the best Father and the best friend for every child and He never lets His children go.  Today I can feel free everywhere and every time because I have the best father whose name is JESUS.

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. Habakuk 2:14
