Africa is home to the largest number of refugees in the world with 50 million people displaced from their homes in countries, including Burundi, Somalia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Some 60,000 of these refugees have been posited into the UN-funded Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi in east Africa, a place designed only for about 10,000. Join host Michael Woolworth and his colleagues - Jennifer Macharia, Nick Catley and Jason Lauthers - who visited the Dzaleka Refugee Camp and saw firsthand the challenges and hardships people face there. They also saw God at work through Bible League and amazing fellow Christians to bring the hope of the Gospel to that part of the world. Subscribe and invite others to listen with you. Length: 32:29.

The country of Rwanda in east Africa has known tremendous suffering and loss from the Genocide of 1994, in which hundreds of thousands were killed. And even though a huge percentage of Rwandans identify as believers, many mix elements of their former pagan beliefs and practices with their new Christian faith. So, the need for the Gospel to heal and correct is desperately needed. Join host Michael Woolworth and his guest, Anton De Vreugd, as Anton recalls wonderful Christians he met on his recent trip to Rwanda. That includes 12-year-old Joyeuse, who loves to write and sing her own songs about the Lord. And 63-year-old Dalie, who lost her own dear husband and son in the Rwanda Genocide but was granted strength by God to forgive those who brought such tragedy to her life.Subscribe today and invite others to listen with you.
