About the Sponsors / organizers
The Association of Evangelicals in Africa (AEA) is a Christian umbrella organization, representing National Evangelical Fellowships in Africa. The membership also includes international Christian Non-Governmental Organizations or development and missionary agencies based in Africa. Founded in 1966, AEA’s Headquarters is in Nairobi, Kenya where it is registered as a Charitable Christian organization (society). AEA is currently comprised of 40 National Evangelical Fellowships as full members and continues to work in the remaining countries to bring churches together for a fully-fledged National Fellowship. AEA is one of the regional associations of the global evangelical movement—World Evangelical Alliance (WEA). AEA and its members join in common concern to live and proclaim the Good News of Jesus amongst all nations and peoples, seeking holiness, justice, and transformation at every level: individual, family, community, and culture.
For nearly fifty years, Sojourners has been working to inspire hope and building a movement to transform individuals, communities, the church, and the world. The organization has a long history of supporting and working in solidarity with a range of justice and peace movements around the world. This includes significant leadership in the anti-Apartheid struggle, efforts to promote peace in Central America, advocacy to promote peace in the Middle East, and more recently playing a significant role in the Jubilee debt cancellation movement and advancing the Millennium Development Goals. Sojourners continues to cover a broad range of human rights, peace and sustainable development issues across its print and online publications and co-coordinates the Catholic Nonviolence Initiative with Pax Christi International.
