Africa Put in Perspective with the Rest of the World



How big is Africa compared to the rest of the world? This fascinating map really puts it in perspective by taking the actual size of other large or well-known countries and placing them on the continent of Africa in comparison.

We need to pray for God's sovereign grace to sweep across this colossal continent as it already is doing in great measure in the last 100 years in Africa, when in contrast Christianity has been on radical decline in many of the above Western (formerly "Christian") countries in those same 100 years. In Africa the cross of Christ is eclipsing the crescent of Islam in large measure and in many countries - let's continue to pray for our brothers and sisters and especially for faithful pastors and teachers to proclaim the glorious gospel of grace and to teach sound doctrine to God's sheep.
