Africa Tabernacles

In August, a transport truck was loaded with three fabricated tabernacles to be built in three different villages in Cameroon. Two of the pastors joined the team as the truck was loaded with steel, roofing sheets, nuts and bolts. But what these two pastors saw were the futures of their permanent structures where the gospel will continue to be preached and lives changed! Thank you to you our partners, together we are seeing healthy churches established within walking distance of Africans in Cameroon!

We're so grateful for the US teams who partner with us and local African churches across the continent. Each build is a partnership — local churches, US teams, and Africa Tabernacles working together toward the same vision: a healthy church within walking distance of every African.

Join us in praying for AGWM Africa missionaries partnering with Africa Tabernacles arriving back on the field after itineration. Pray for smooth transitions for them and their families, and for the communities they'll be serving as new relationships begin. We're grateful for their faithfulness and excited for this next season of ministry.

For some churches in Africa, Sunday mornings look like this — kids gathered under a roof, worshiping freely in a space built to last. This is what a tabernacle makes possible: a safe, lasting place for the next generation to grow up knowing God.

Join us in praying for these growing congregations, and for those who are still praying for a permanent worship structure.

Two more tabernacles now stand in Zambia!

What were once congregations without a permanent place to worship now have buildings built to last — spaces where their communities can gather for generations. We're grateful for these partnerships and for every hand, local and international, that made them possible.

Since 2017, this congregation has met in a small wooden shack, meeting the needs of their community as best they could. They longed to reach their neighbors with the gospel but lacked the space to do it well.

Last month, in partnership with a US church that traveled to help with the build, that changed. A permanent tabernacle now stands in their place, giving this congregation room to grow and welcome their community in a way they couldn't before.

A man from Amun encountered Jesus at a tabernacle being built nearby — and something in him shifted. He couldn't keep it to himself. So he traveled back across Africa to his own village, carrying one message and nothing else: "I found Christ. I need to tell my village."

Because of his faith, an entire village came to know Christ. That's what a permanent worship structure makes possible — and what a healthy local church does long after it's built: it carries the gospel forward, one story at a time.

In Fria, Guinea a pastor held church in his home — the only space he had. Two women in his congregation had to hide their faith entirely, sneaking away just to worship.
When a tabernacle was built outside the city, everything changed. For the first time, they could gather openly, without fear.

For $28.33, you can provide one seat in permanent worship structure in Africa — a place where someone will hear the gospel, where families will gather in worship, and where people who once hid their faith can finally worship freely.

Permanent structures. Eternal impact. Visit https://giving.ag.org/donate/600001-626793 to give!

119 tabernacles built so far this year — each one a permanent structure for a local church to grow, disciple, and reach its community.

Behind every structure is a congregation and pastor that showed up, gave what they had, and refused to let a lack of space slow down what God was doing.

It all leads back to the same vision: a healthy church within walking distance of every African.
