Africa is where I call home. My Future is an AACC-led continental campaign. It aims to motivate young people to be patriotic to their countries and to Africa: our home, our future, by directing their abilities toward the development of a prosperous continent.
Africa is where I call home. My Future will inspire a generation of African youth who are empowered, patriotic, and dedicated to the holistic development of their countries and continent.
The campaign aims to raise awareness of Africa: Our Home’s potential and prospects for young people. Our Future engages other innovative and youthful entrepreneurs by providing a venue for them to connect. It’s also a chance for African youth to get together and worship in an ecumenical service.
The All Africa Youth Congress provides a forum for constructive interaction among African youth, inspiring them to be patriotic and utilising their talents in the improvement of their countries and Africa: Our Home. We are the future.
Africa has the world’s youngest population. Over 1.2 billion people live on the continent. More than 60% of these people are under the age of 25. The continent’s readiness to tap into this resource for economic growth has been questioned as Africa’s young population continues to grow.
Furthermore, there is considerable dissatisfaction and unrest about restricted economic prospects, rising corruption, rising unemployment, and limited opportunities for African young to participate in politics.
Because of their rising dissatisfaction, many people choose to migrate to ‘Western countries,’ where they believe greater prospects exist, causing a ‘brain drain’ and capital flight on the continent, while others join extremist groups.
Despite this, the continent is slowly becoming a magnet for a number of start-ups and innovators who are defying the odds and making substantial contributions to the business and technology sectors.
ALL AFRICA CONFERENCE OF CHURCH
Young people can alter the continent if given the correct tools and determination. AACC understands that our young people have the capacity to be great agents of change and development in delivering an emerging Africa: our home, our future, as envisioned in Agenda 2030 and 2063. Furthermore, adolescents in Africa have a unique potential to avoid and combat vices such as irregular migration, human trafficking, violent extremism, xenophobia, and drug and substance misuse.

Akanu Ibiam, an ecumenically committed Presbyterian, organised a conference of Christian organisations and churches throughout Africa in 1958, which resulted in the formation of AACC at its inaugural session on April 20, 1963 in Kampala, Uganda. “Freedom and Unity in Christ” was the topic of the first assembly. The delegates discussed the colonial situation in the context of the continent’s political climate at the time, which was dominated by nationalism. The delegates expressed their solidarity with the continent’s peoples as they strive for dignity and maturity in Christ, and they urged churches to “participate unreservedly in the creation of the African nation.” The AACC has aided churches in their participation in decolonization and nation-building efforts. It was essential in the abolition of apartheid in Southern Africa. The march toward unity and freedom that began in Kampala has continued through subsequent gatherings.
ALADURA
As a result, the AACC continues to work alongside the churches to address pressing issues facing the continent and to provide a platform for collective voices and collective action. Theology, mission and evangelism, ecumenical expansion, and interfaith relations are the foundational programmes. Social and economic justice (poverty alleviation), health and wholeness (HIV/AIDS), and international relations are among the key problems on its agenda (governance, ethics and morality). It is undergoing a comprehensive reorganisation of ecumenical contacts and collaboration across the continent, involving the integration of churches, national councils, sub-regional fellowships, and the continental body itself into a unified network .[4]
AACC hosted a Jubilee Assembly from June 3 to 9, 2013, in Kampala, to commemorate its 50th anniversary.
The African Chamber of Commerce has 204 members from 43 African countries. Churches, National Christian Councils, Theological and Lay Training Institutions, and other Christian organisations are among the members. AACC has divided the continent into five sub-regions for operational and administrative reasons: Northern Africa (5 countries), Eastern Africa and the Indian Ocean (7 countries), Southern Africa (10 countries), Central Africa (8 countries), and Western Africa (10 countries) (10 countries). This division guarantees that every region is sufficiently represented in the decision-making bodies of the AACC. It also allows the AACC to gain a greater grasp of the various social, economic, and political concerns that the regions are dealing with, allowing it to better serve them .[5]

The 1918 global influenza pandemic prompted the development of an Anglican laity prayer group in Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria, which stressed supernatural healing, prayer protection, and a puritanical moral code.
Divergences from Anglican practise prompted a group known as the Faith Tabernacle, with many tiny congregations, to split away in 1922.
In 1930, Joseph Babalola (1906?59), a prophet-healer, became the focal point of a huge divine-healing movement.
The Yoruba religion was discarded, and pentecostal characteristics that had been suppressed due to US influence were reintroduced.
The movement sought assistance from the pentecostal Apostolic Church in Britain because to opposition from conventional authorities, the government, and mission churches. The Aladura movement developed and formed as the Apostolic Church after missionaries arrived in 1932.
Problems emerged as a result of the missionaries’ use of Western medications, which ran counter to divine healing ideas, as well as their expulsion of polygamists and assumption of complete control over the movement. Babalola and Isaac B.
Akinyele (later Sir) created their own Christ Apostolic Church in 1938?41, which by the 1960s had 100,000 members, its own schools, and had extended to Ghana. Other secessions spawned other “apostolic” congregations, and the Apostolic Church maintained its relationship with its British equivalent.
Moses Orimolade Tunolase, a Yoruba prophet, and Christiana Abiodun Akinsowon, an Anglican who had seen visions and trances, created the Cherubim and Seraphim group in the Aladura. They founded the group in 1925?26, replacing traditional charms and medicine with ideas of revelation and divine healing.
In 1928, they broke away from the Anglican and other churches. In the same year, the founders split off, resulting in more than ten major and numerous minor sections that expanded throughout Nigeria, as well as to Benin (formerly Dahomey), Togo, and Ghana.
