O God, you who are from generation to generation the Creator of the ends of the earth and all that it contains, we of the continent of Africa bow our heads to you in humble thanks for the work that you have wrought in our lands and communities over the years. / We remember with joy the refuge which your only begotten Son our Saviour and his earthly parents took to Africa. We rejoice when we remember the journey of the Ethiopian eunuch, and his Christian fellowship with your disciple Philip in the Gaza desert. / It is a wonderful tribute to Africa and all over the world. We can never forget the countless man and women of other lands who spread throughout Africa the gospel news of the saving grace of Christ, and now that same call comes to us to do the same. When we think of these things our gratitude knows no bounds. Amen.
