Operation Africa - Origins

Operation Africa

The Sword of the Spirit is the Word of God

Origins

Origins Since 1997 Operation Africa has had a dream to reach military groups and armies of Africa for Jesus Christ. Birthed out of the “Youth Alive - World Target Teams” trip to Zimbabwe in 1997, Operation Africa sought to evangelise troops that are often feared, hated and marginalised by their own people.
Our Promise: “Bibles for African Soldiers”
Previously thought unreachable by Christian organizations, the soldiers and members of defence forces are often killed by war and disease. Operation Africa wants to see soldiers and members of Africa’s military groups reached by those who love God to see our vision realised:
Vision: “Every African soldier honoured before God’s throne” (Revelation 7:9, 20: 11-15)
Started by the Reverend Jason Greive of Queensland, Australia the first missions project was in Zimbabwe, on the African continent. Operation Africa struck a memorandum of understanding with the Queensland Bible Society to partner with us to supply camouflage or “cammo” bibles in military colours so that the soldiers have ownership of their bible. It is the distribution of bibles that is our core mission:
Mission: “To distribute God’s word, preach God’s gospel, and demonstrate God’s love to the soldiers of Africa”
Operation Africa believes that people who submit themselves to God through Jesus Christ can see our vision realised solely through faith in God’s provision by seeking crumbs that fall from the table. (Mathew 15: 26-28) We hope that you will be captured by the vision and join us as we seek to achieve our mission for the glory of almighty God and the furthering of his spiritual kingdom.
