Africa Research

FTLT, in partnership with the University of Pretoria and multiple other networks throughout sub-Saharan Africa, is conducting a research project (2024–2026) to investigate and analyse the dynamic responses of the Church in sub-Saharan Africa to global crises. We aim to better understand the different roles of church organisations, leaders, and young people in addressing these challenges, aiming to identify successful strategies, examine barriers, and explore contextual factors that influence responses.

Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and case studies, the research seeks to empower African voices, shed light on innovative approaches, and uncover stories of resilience. Ultimately, this project aims to equip the church in Africa with valuable insights for building a more resilient and responsive future while contributing to global discussions on crisis management.

In the year 2024, a road trip from South Africa to Burundi will be taken to conduct multiple workshop discussions to better understand the survey data captured as well as contextualise the data into story-telling.

It is during this road trip that a group of adventurers are invited to become an official Travel Partner, and to join the travel team for a period of time to participate in the work to be done in order to achieve the goals set.
