Mere Christianity – C.S. Lewis

£9.99   http://www.ahic.org.uk/product/mere-christianity-c-s-lewis/

One of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, ‘Mere Christianity’ has sold millions of copies worldwide.

The book brings together C.S. Lewis’s legendary radio broadcasts during the war years, in which he set out simply to ‘explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times’.

Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity’s many denominations, ‘Mere Christianity’ provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to absorb a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.

In this Easter edition we would like to introduce you to one of our projects we are most proud of, our partnership with a local Sierra Leonean charity called the Jaisie and Sorba Children’s Foundation.  As Easter is all about Love and Sacrifice we know you will appreciate the efforts of this charity founded by two brave young Sierra Leoneans who saw the need and cared enough to do something about it. Wishing you all a Happy Easter.

Africa Hopes in Christ has partnered with a local Sierra Leonean charity called  Jaisie and Sorba Children’s Foundation as this charity is in sync with our own core aims and is right in the heartland of where the need is greatest. Helping African help themselves

This little girl is called Therisa Dramine.  She lost her two parents during the spread of the terrible killer disease Ebola. Ebola killed her parents and the little girl had nobody to help.  For her to sustain her life she was working for other people within the community. A nurse working within the community felt pity for the girl and took her in but she couldn’t  afford all her  needs.  So  the charity stepped in to take care of her through the help of well wishers.

This  boy has been deserted by both his  parents  because of his physical disability, his left hand is misshapen.  As a result abandoned and lonely he was left to fend for himself with nobody to  care for him because of his condition. He sometimes did  not have food to eat and clothes were a luxury  with the priority being somewhere  safe to sleep. He was mentally astute and the charity saw  his potential  and stepped into his life. Despite his physical disability they  realised that he has an alert mind and  ability and they  wanted  to ensure his educational life.

These children are cared for by kind hearted but poor families who share all they have with them. Both the children of their foster families and the new additions are learning skills such as respect, consideration,  generosity, gratitude and cooperation. However they do not attend school as this is too expensive for now. Would you find it in your heart to help these wonderful amazing gifts from God.

What  can be learnt from the boot leather, organization and quick response times that stopped Ebola from spreading in this African nation Nigeria?      By Katherine Harmon Courage on October 18, 2014

On July 20 a man who was ill flew on commercial planes from the heart of the Ebola epidemic in Liberia to Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city. That man became Nigeria’s first Ebola case—the index patient. In a matter of weeks some 19 people across two states were diagnosed with the disease (with one additional person presumed to have contracted it before dying).

But rather than descending into epidemic, there has not been a new case of the virus since September 5. And since September 24 the country’s Ebola isolation and treatment wards have sat empty. If by Monday, October 20 there are still no new cases, Nigeria, unlike the U.S., will be declared Ebola free by the World Health Organization (WHO).

What can we learn from this African country’s success quashing an Ebola outbreak?

Authors of a paper published October 9 in Eurosurveilance  attribute Nigeria’s success in “avoiding a far worse scenario” to its “quick and forceful” response. The authors point to three key elements in the country’s attack:

Fast and thorough tracing of all potential contacts

Ongoing monitoring of all of these contacts

Rapid isolation of potentially infectious contacts

There was vigilant disinfecting, port-of-entry screening and rapid isolation but also with boot leather and lots and lots of in-person follow-up visits, completing 18,500 of them to find any new cases of Ebola among a total of 989 identified contacts.

The epidemic that wasn’t

The arrival location of the index patient was a prime place to cause a widespread outbreak. Lagos is Africa’s largest city, with a population of 21 million. It is a major hub for travel and business. “A dense population and overburdened infrastructure create an environment where diseases can be easily transmitted and transmission sustained,” wrote the authors of a paper for the US Centre for Disease Control (CDC)  and Prevention’s Mobidity and Motality Weekly Report (MMWR) As such, “A rapid response using all available public health assets was the highest priority.”

But, says Folorunso Oludayo Fasina, a senior lecturer at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, co-author of the Eurosurveillance paper and a native Nigerian, it was actually lucky that the index patient in Nigeria fell ill at the airport. “Had the index case gotten the opportunity to contact persons in Lagos or Calabar—[another Nigerian city] where he was to deliver a lecture—it may have been a complete disaster.”

Although it took three days to diagnose Ebola (a period during which nine health care workers were infected with the disease), once the diagnosis was confirmed health authorities swung into action. The Federal Ministry of Health worked with the CDC’s Nigerian office to declare an Ebola emergency. On July 23—the very same day the patient was diagnosed—they created an Incident Management Centre (which morphed into the Emergency Operations Centre) and kicked into action an Incident Management System to coordinate responses. Such a centralized and coordinated system “is largely credited with helping contain the Nigerian outbreak early,” the MMWR authors wrote.

It wasn’t the Emergency Operations Centre’s first time tackling a highly infectious disease. Two years ago, after a global call from WHO, Nigeria redoubled its efforts to eradicate polio, another infectious virus, within its borders. The centre has played a large role in working toward that goal, improving response times and preparedness along the way, the authors of the MMWR paper wrote. Many of those leading the Ebola response were chosen for their success working on polio eradication.

The government’s first priority was to locate all potential contacts. A team of more than 150 designated “contact tracers” tracked down each of the individuals. Such tracing is the most challenging part of this sort of work, Fasina says, especially in Nigeria, where “houses cannot always be traced by street numbers.” With all of those potentially exposed to the virus pinpointed, workers conducted an astounding 18,500 face-to-face visits to check for fever and other Ebola-related symptoms in each of these contacts, according to data in the MMWR paper. The check-ups took a little cajoling, Fasina notes. To get folks to meet with tracers also requires a good deal of effort to remove social stigma around the disease.

Any individual showing symptoms was quickly moved to an isolation ward for further testing, which could be completed locally at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital for rapid diagnosis. Once an Ebola case was confirmed, patients were transferred to a special Ebola virus treatment center. Even those contacts that tested negative but showed Ebola-like symptoms were held—separately from Ebola patients—until all symptoms resolved. As cases were confirmed the Emergency Operations Centre tracked down additional contacts and decontaminated potentially infectious areas.

In addition to contact tracing and rapid isolation, teams of “social mobilizers” canvassed areas around the homes of Ebola contacts, reaching around an additional 26,000 households with health information. Communicating that information effectively to the broader public is another challenge. Ensuring that people have confidence in the government—and understanding of what it is trying to do—is absolutely key, Vanderbilt’s Schaffner notes. Part of that is controlling what he calls “the outbreak of anxiety.”

In Nigeria the response team was able to corral enough funding, staff and tools from state partners, international groups and nongovernmental organizations to successfully launch its attack on the outbreak right away. “National preparedness efforts should consider how resources can be quickly accessible to fund the early stage of the response,” the authors of the MMWR paper wrote.

“Every country needs to evaluate its preparedness and must be ready to respond to an emergency immediately,” Fasina says. “Nigeria was not completely ready,” but they identified the index case early and then hit the streets.

The Danger of Poverty in Society

The Danger of Poverty in Society

Poverty fosters crime. It is one of the main reasons crime continues to increase. When a man is in dire straits and the bellies of his children grow hungry night and day, he will do whatever necessary to get money. Moreover, when a young woman watches the hungry eyes of her children looking up at their mother for salvation, she will do anything to satisfy their desires.

When a young man arrives…

Potential projects in the pipeline are a clean water project in conjunction with an existing water charity already operating in West Africa, a school for street children and a competition for the best and brightest business ideas by young, up and coming African entrepreneurs.

Can Africa Excel Economically?

Welcome Prayer Partners,

To our July 2016  Newsletter  

In this edition we are exploring ways and means of how the continent of Africa can develop economically. The African Development Bank’s President speaks.  Africa Hopes In Christ welcomes comments from all interested parties.  However action speaks louder than words.  Let our supporters rise up and support with actions all efforts that they believe will prosper Africa economically and spiritually.

‘Africa Can Finance Its Own Development’ Says AfDB President Akinwumi Adesina

By Dana Sanchez Originally Published: March 21, 2016, AFKInsider

African countries should look within to the private sector to fund their own infrastructure rather than borrowing from international markets to plug financing gaps, said Akinwumi Adesina, president of the African Development Bank.

Nigeria’s former minister of agriculture, Adesina spoke at the Fourth African CEO Summit  in Abidjan, Ivory Coast earlier this year, SABC reported.

Motivational speaking is a strong point for Adesina, who was named 2013 Forbes African of the Year. In his acceptance speech, he urged young Africans to see agriculture as a business rather than a development tool and predicted that Africa’s future billionaires will get rich from agriculture, according to AfricanFarming.net.

Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, says he’s rolling out an investment plan with hopes of expanding Nigeria’s sugar sector to make the country self-sufficient. “These are hard times, but hard times bring opportunities,” Dangote said at the African CEO Summit, according to TheAfricaReport.

Financial experts worry that African countries could slip back into debt crisis as local currencies depreciate, demand for Africa’s natural resources sink and global interest rates rise, SABC reported.

“What we have to see now from Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa is austerity, cutbacks in government spending and budget cutbacks,” said Martyn Davies from Deloitte.

African countries issued bonds worth more than $25 billion in the last 10 years. Adesina called on the private sector to double its efforts to help transform African commodities locally, and diversify African economies, particularly in tourism and service industries.

The private sector accounts for 90 percent of jobs, 80 percent of total production, and 66 percent of total investments, Adesina said in an AfDB press release.

“Africa can finance its own development, and doing so enables it to decide its own direction and pace of growth,” Adesina said.

He described efforts to deepen financial integration and increase liquidity, citing an AfDB project to link four African stock exchanges, and a joint venture with Bloomberg to facilitate the issuance of sovereign and corporate bonds on African markets. He pointed to a growth in remittances and a rise in sovereign wealth funds in Africa.

“In the face of global economic challenges, it is those African countries with diversified economies that are succeeding in weathering the economic storm,” he said. “While the current situation is challenging, it also presents great opportunity, especially for resource-rich countries, to diversify their economies away from the export of raw commodities …. Now is the time, the time for Africa to move up the value chain.”

  Africa produces about 70 percent of the world’s cocoa but only accounts for a 2 percent of global cocoa revenue, Adesina said, according to the AfricaReport.

“It is time to industrialize Africa and diversify its economies … Africa must become a global powerhouse in food and agriculture” Adesina said. “But to do that, we must solve our energy problem. Business can’t be done in the dark.”

At the African CEO Summit, Adesina set out the vision of the African Development Bank. Its “High 5” priorities through 2022 include the following:

Light up and power Africa

Feed Africa

Industrialize Africa

Integrate Africa

Improve the quality of life for the people of Africa.

“We will only succeed in realizing the objectives of the High 5s if we work in public-private partnership,” Adesina said. “Let us think big, act big and deliver big for Africa.”

Africa is adjusting to falling commodity prices and creating new opportunities out of economic diversification, said Amir Ben Yahmed, vice president of Paris-based Groupe Jeune Afrique and founder and president of the Africa CEO Forum. He introduced the theme of the conference — “New reality, new priorities.”

Africa is resilient, and needs to add economic value to its commodities, said Alassane Ouattara, president of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire. “It is you — it is the private sector — which will do the most to create jobs for the young people of this continent,” he said,  calling on the private sector to step up and fund Africa’s growth, and to make concrete proposals at the Africa CEO Forum.

The forum continues through March 22.

“We should look inside. We should mobilise our own capital and we should have our own macroeconomic stabilization, fiscal consolidation and expandable taxable base. The future of Africa lies not outside; the future of Africa lies in Africa,” Adesina said, according to SABC.

AfDB said it plans to invest $12 billion in the next five years on electricity in Africa.

The Africa CEO Forum drew 500 CEOs from 43 African countries and 20 elsewhere in the world, according to the bank.

Africa may the Lord continue to bless you

We do not need to feel guilty about wealth.

I think we need to stop poverty, but I think we need a strong economy to do it. I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. If we are a strong country economically, we can do good in the world and help people that need it. I think that will help us sleep at night.

yo i’m a little tardy to the party but just yr friendly yearly reminder that another of dr king’s dreams was for a guaranteed national income for all

what would you with your life if you and all your friends and family didn’t have to worry about paying rent?

what would you do with your life if you and all your friends and family didn’t have to worry about having access to health care?

what would you do with your life if you and all your friends and family didn’t have to worry about having enough to eat?

how would your priorities change? how would *your* dreams change?
