How Big is Africa?
The continent of Africa is large enough that all these other countries could fit within it! In fact, Africa is 38,131 square miles larger than all of these lands combined!
Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." (Matthew 13:44-46)
Africa is rich in diamonds, gold and other natural resources. However the continent's greatest resource is her one billion people. Winning them for Christ is worth more riches than we can ever imagine. You can make an eternal difference in the lives of thousands of Africans through Bibles and Christian literature sent through CLA.
