ML01-V. THREE IMPORTANT AFRICAN INDIGENOUS CHURCHES
Beginning around one hundred years ago, three strong African personalities had such an impact that the churches they began continue to this day. William Wadé Harris in the Ivory Coast (1915), Simon Kimbangu in the Democratic Republic of Congo (1921), and Johane Marange in Zimbabwe (1932) had visions for starting churches that had virtually no missionary involvement. Why were they so successful? What can we learn from them, both positively and negatively?
