Who Is Louie Gigoi's Gospel?

Improved Essays
1. INTRODUCTION
God is magnificent in His being. Here we are trying to look at the amazing Grace of God even though the world continually deny His love and His being but one way or the other the world is giving Glory to God. Finish the Mission helps us to the plan of God for Africa.

2. SHORT SUMMERY

I like how Louie Gigoi (2012:31) expanded “the global God to Galactic God.” It is true what he is saying but it gives more sense and meaning when we use Global God rather than Galactic God, because it pictures God as saviour of the Globe which is full of sinners.

And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?1 And how are they to hear without someone preaching? Romans 10:13-14” God by His grace sends many like Isaiah who preach the gospel. Africa is being tortured by political and economic ruin and illiteracy. There is a sharp distinction between the elite and ordinary People, both religiously and culturally. There is lack of leadership everywhere. People are just busy doing their own visions even when the gospel is right at their door. So we need to pray without ceasing, we need to participate in God’s plan and consider and believe the great commission, we need to confess our sins and build up a proper personal relationship with our saviour. We need to call people to repentance and pray for our governments that God may give them wisdom to
