God began to send out African missionaries to France, Portugal, and the USA. So far, 5 missionaries have sent out. We pray for Africa to be a missionary sending continent 4. God may send more young & silver missionaries to Africa as several missionaries returned to Korea or moved to other mission fields due to financial difficulties and illnesses. 5.
