"Today over 900 African people groups are still unreached, with NO VIABLE WITNESS to the transforming power of Jesus Christ!" *
Or here's another way to look at it:

| Each dot of light represents 25,000 believers. Notice the dark areas remaining in Africa, especially Northern Africa, which is predominantly Muslim. |
"'Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.'
How, then, can they call on the One they have not believed in?
And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard?
And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
And how can they preach unless they are sent?"
Romans 10:13-15
"The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the LORD of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves."
Luke 10:2-3
"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the LORD Jesus has given me - the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace."
Acts 20:24
Why go?
- Because there are people in Africa who deserve to hear the gospel of God's grace.
- There are missionaries who have been called to bring the good news of God's love to them.
- Some of these missionaries are in need of a safe, supportive, God-centered, missions-focused educational option in Africa for their children.
- RVA was established to meet this need for missionaries called to serve in Africa.
- We have gifts, skills, and passions that are needed at RVA.
- We are willing to go and humbly serve as this link in the chain in obedience to Jesus' command to "Go and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:19)
