Church Life Africa:
Forming African Catholics
for the Global Church
Some give to the mission by going.
Others go by giving.
The Catholic Church in Africa is young, vibrant, and growing, alive with faith and hope for the future. Yet in many places, formation has not kept pace with this growth. Through Church Life Africa, the Augustine Institute partners with local clergy and lay leaders to provide faithful, Scripture-centered formation.
Together, we are equipping African Catholics to serve their communities with clarity and joy. What began as a pilot initiative has quickly grown into a movement now active across 40 dioceses in Nigeria, engaging thousands of Catholics—and with momentum spreading to other African countries.
“The Bible in a Year exposed me to depths of the
Word of God I had never encountered before.”
— Asika Emmanuel, Archdiocese of Abuja
