"As an atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God"

Interesting title, even more interesting read.

Matthew Parris, writing for the Times Online, writes that "missionaries, not aid money, are the solution to Africa's biggest problem". It's really amazing to read his article and read how he acknowledges the positive changes Christians have brought about in Africa. It's even more exciting to have this written about in such a respectful manner!

I've found it a more common occurrence to have Christians scorned as hypocrites who don't do anything and Christianity attacked for various historical events, so this is definitely an encouraging read, especially considering its source!
