Beginning of Christainity in Africa
Christianity didn’t come to Africa by the whitemen. Most often when I hear people saying “Christainity is a religion of the whitemen” it proves to me that those people are living in ignorance against the fact about History!
Christianity came to Africa long before AD 341 by an Ethiopian Eunuch who met one of the apostles of Christ Jesus. That apostle was Philip. Philip introduced Jesus Christ to the Ethiopian Eunuch who later became converted to Christianity and was baptized. After the conversion of the Ethiopian Eunuch,he came to Africa and also introduced Jesus Christ to the King of Ethiopia-King Ezana. King Ezana also became a Christian and declared Ethiopia as a Christain nation.
Some Africans were direct disciples of Jesus Christ, some converted by the Apostles during the Pentecost outpouring of the Holy Spirit. One of the early deacons by name Simon was a black man (Niger). The Ethiopian Eunuch would have repented between 29–40 AD. Before 200 AD the church already had strong roots in places like Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Ethiopia. The second wave of Christian presence came via the West African coast,East and Central Africa and South Africa during the colonial dispensation.
The rise of Islam around 629AD wiped out most of the church in North Africa, Ethiopia lasted because its strong monarchy. Christianity is not the White man’s religion, it is the way to God universally. The West destroyed much of our history during their voyage into Africa.
The man who helped Jesus Christ to carry the cross was an African who came from Cyrene the place we now called modern day Libya.
About 45%of Africans already knew Jesus Christ before the slavery era.
Christainity was never brought to Africa by the whitemen!
Christianity was never forced on Africans because of slavery. NO!
I pray that this information open the eyes and mind of people who are living in ignorance against the fact about History.
We will be doing a live broadcast here on Facebook addressing some of this issues every Saturday. #StayConnected
