Now I know in part...

Proofs in the pudding

A couple of years ago a columnist from the Times wrote a piece called “As an atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God“.

He writes:

It confounds my ideological beliefs, stubbornly refuses to fit my world view, and has embarrassed my growing belief that there is no God.

Now a confirmed atheist, I’ve become convinced of the enormous contribution that Christian evangelism makes in Africa: sharply distinct from the work of secular NGOs, government projects and international aid efforts. These alone will not do. Education and training alone will not do. In Africa Christianity changes people’s hearts. It brings a spiritual transformation. The rebirth is real. The change is good.

I love that. When its the real deal, its unmistakeable.
