Journal of African Christian Biography: v. 8, no. 1 (Jan. 2023) A quarterly publication of the Dictionary of African Christian Biography (www.DACB.org)
[This issue of the Journal of African Christian Biography explores the witness of African Christians in situations of revival and survival. African Christian history is replete with instances of these two extremes of Christian faith—when God visits his people in power as the church grows and when he bears his persecuted children in his arms as they breath their last.
The East African Revival swept through Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and South Sudan starting in the 1930s. The effects of the revival were powerful and longlasting in many churches, especially the Anglican Church, and the movement continues even today.
