Jeff and Stefanie Woods serve in multiple roles across Africa — and every one of them is aimed at one goal: advancing the gospel to people who have never heard it.

Jeff serves as Live Dead Africa Director, casting vision for new work, supporting current teams, and partnering with national churches to reach the unreached. He also leads the Live Dead Launch Team in Mombasa alongside his wife Stefanie, training new workers in spiritual formation, missiology, and team life before they go plant churches across the continent.

As strategic leaders for Africa, they focus specifically on church planting among Unreached and Unengaged People Groups. Their work is multiplying. Every worker trained in Mombasa is another seed planted among people who have yet to hear the name of Jesus.

Fatu's father kicked her out at 11 years old.

Trafficked, alone, and trapped in a life she never chose — the road ahead looked dark. But one day, she heard about Jesus.

The Spirit led her to Al-Masih Worship Center, an Urban Tribes church in West Africa. The moment she walked through the doors, she said: "This is home."

She began growing in Christ — joining a women's group, diving into Bible study, and being discipled by a community that saw her worth.

Today, Fatu is married, a mother, and a faithful member of her church's Evangelism Team. And in one of the most beautiful moments of redemption — she encountered a man from her past at church. They were both believers now, sharing with each other what God had done in their lives.

This is what Urban Tribes is about. Reaching the overlooked. Welcoming the broken. Watching Jesus make all things new.

Members of our Urban Tribes team are gathering May 27–29 in Durban, South Africa for the Urban Tribes Conference. We're believing God for big things!

When missionaries, church planters, and ministry leaders come together, something powerful happens. Strategies sharpen. Vision expands. Connections are made that only God could have orchestrated.

We're asking Him for exactly that — divine appointments, fresh insight, and a renewed fire to reach Africa's cities with the gospel.

Would you pray with us as we head to Durban?

Would you pray for Urban Tribes?
Africa is the most rapidly urbanizing continent in the world. As cities grow, AGWM Africa missionaries are building relationships, living, and working among urban communities across the continent. It's meaningful work, and it needs your prayers.

🙏 Divine connections: that God would open the right doors with the right people in each city our missionaries serve.
🙏 Spiritual protection: for church planters, business as mission workers, and volunteers on the front lines.
🙏 Favor with governments: as many of our projects navigate visas, business permits, and the pursuit of permanent locations.
🙏 New team members: that God would call and send the right people to join this work across Africa.

"The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." — Luke 10:2

Africa is the most rapidly urbanizing continent in the world.

As cities grow, new communities are forming of people who are shaped by global influences. What emerges is demographic that's beliefs and values are formed by social media, international voices, and modern practices. This is why we have Urban Tribes.

This is a new and unprecedented population, and our missionaries are meeting them where they are — embedding themselves in the heart of urban communities across Africa. They're engaging the people and places shaping the future of entire regions.

Today, that looks like 7 church plants, 4 business as mission projects, across 9 cities in Africa. And this year there are two new projects launching in two new cities.

The harvest is growing. So is the work.

Do you have a heart for the next generation?

In Africa, "the next generation" isn't a small group — it's the majority. With over half the population under the age of 18, and many more under 35, the opportunity to invest in young people is enormous.

Students, children, and young adults are shaping the future of their communities right now. And across the continent, there is a growing need for people willing to step in, disciple, and walk alongside them.

Right now, there are two open doors to be part of this:

🇲🇿 Maputo, Mozambique — Join the Launch Team for Campus Ministry, helping plant and grow a movement among university students.

🇰🇪 Nairobi, Kenya — Step into On-ramp: a 90 day experience that is designed to give individuals a chance to experience what life as a missionary could be like, while serving alongside Africa Children's & Teens ministry.

God is moving among the next generation across Africa.
At the end of March, children’s ministry leaders from across the continent gathered in Nairobi to encourage one another, share ideas, and develop new ways to reach kids and teens more effectively.

Moments like these help strengthen leaders, spark creativity, and build momentum for what God wants to do in the lives of young people.

Across Africa, there are currently 34 NextGen workers faithfully serving children and teens—investing in the future of the Church every day.

🙏 Join us in praying:
• For lasting fruit from the gathering in Nairobi
• For wisdom and creativity for NextGen leaders
• For the 34 workers serving across the continent
• For national church leaders to continue prioritizing the next generation

Seeing the mission firsthand changes everything. 🌍

Africa’s Children and Teens is inviting you to be part of a 2026 Vision Trip to Ivory Coast (Aug. 25–Sept. 3). This is more than a trip—it’s an opportunity to walk alongside missionaries, children’s pastors, and youth leaders, and experience what God is doing through NextGen ministry in the local church.

Designed for those exploring a call to missions, this trip offers a real look at life and ministry on the field—creating space to learn, serve, and discern what God may be leading you into.
Come see the impact. Come ask questions. Come be part of what God is doing.

Africa’s Children and Teens—a ministry resource of AGWM Africa—recently had the opportunity to be part of the Assemblies of God NextGen Leaders Conference.

We’re grateful to have connected with so many leaders who are passionate about reaching the next generation. Through meaningful conversations, we were able to share the heart behind ACT, the vision for Africa, and the growing need to invest in children and teens across the continent.

This year brought some of the most impactful conversations yet—along with the opportunity to give away two 2026 Vision Trips to Ivory Coast. We’re excited for those who will soon experience firsthand what God is doing through the African local church.

🙏 Thank you to everyone who is helping us to see a healthy church within walking distance of every child and teen across Africa.
