Illuminating and stimulating, this book helps us to understand why and how effective African Christian organizations and their leaders make a significant impact in their local context. It also challenges us to think strategically how best to invest in effective leadership in Africa. --Daniel Bourdanne, Secretary General, International Fellowship of Evangelical Students This fine book takes into account three major linguistic groups in Africa, and provides a qualitative perspective with good statistics to guide any Christian leader searching for better leadership or undertaking research in the domain. --Joanna Ilboudo, Executive Secretary, Pan African Christian Women Alliance In an age when African Christian growth is obvious but detailed insights into that growth are too rare, these essays disclose aspects of the processes forming effective African Christian leaders and the important roles such leaders can play. --Paul V. Kollman, CSC, President, American Society of Missiology The vast amounts of data undergirding this book yield tools of assessment and application for pastors, donors, universities, and governments. -- Miriam Adeney, author, Kingdom Without Borders: The Untold Story of Global Christianity
