What does mission work look like across the continent of Africa? The Rev. Shauen Trump (Regional Director, Africa, LCMS Office of International Mission) joins Andy and Sarah at the LCMS Synod Convention in Phoenix, Arizona, to talk about the Africa Region for the LCMS, the various ministries across the region, why it’s important to work with the local church bodies when doing mission work, the history of some of these church bodies, the ways churches have mercy work across the region, how church planting happens in different countries, how theological education happens across the region, and how short-term teams play a role in the Africa Region.
