America's number one export to the developing world?

...might just be heresy.

A guy I sorta know (as well as you can know someone from their blog), John Divito, has been actively trying to minister in Uganda to both preach the Gospel and serve as a counter to these false teachers that have flooded Africa. I got to know John because he, like me, was saved out of mormonism. Rather than seeking a nice church in America to pastor, after seminary John and his family have been part of the Africa Center for Apologetics Research, dedicated to refuting false teachers in Africa.

Cultic groups are multiplying and growing throughout Africa. Indigenous sects and extremist charismatic groups are operating almost unchecked—and doing tremendous harm. Making matters worse, pastors are severely underinformed and underequipped for the task of discernment and defending their flocks.

People receiving a false gospel is as harmful as receiving no gospel at all. Watch this series of videos of Benny Hinn in Uganda. People think this is Christianity and Hinn is just one of the litany of false teachers that is infecting Africa and countries around the world.



I would encourage you to check out the webpage of ACFAR and at the very least pray for their efforts and if possible help financially support the work they are doing.

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.' (Mat 7:15-23)
