For that reason Don Carson (perhaps unfairly) said, "I can think of only three or four African pastors who can expound Romans well." <br /><br />Speaking to British ministers who are helping to train Africans to preach the Word confirms this. They tend to have an idea on which they want to preach, gather some stories to illustrate it and then find a Bible text that more or less fits what they have to say. <br /><br />Conrad Mbewe is a glorious exception to this tendency and I pray his ministry will have a big impact on other African preachers.
