\u201cAt a recent mission conference in Africa, I sat through a sermon (disguised as a seminar paper) that sought to mobilise Africans to be drafted into God\u2019s army, to join the missions force, and to let God deploy them to the trenches on the frontline where they can make a surprise attack on the enemy,\u201d writes mission leader Harvey Kwiyani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
