It was not the European and American churches which evangelised Africa, but the mission societies. The missions from the Great Awakening such as the London Missionary Society and Church Missionary Society, or the Holy Ghost Fathers and the White Fathers, which started the process of Sub-Saharan Africa becoming a Christian continent are well known and documented. Less known, and less documented are the interdenominational faith missions which began in 1873 with the aim of visiting the still unreached areas of Africa: North Africa, the Sudan Belt and the Congo Basin. Missions such as the Africa Inland Mission or Sudan Interior Mission gave birth to some of the big churches like ECWA in Nigeria and Africa Inland Church in Kenya. It is the aim of this book to describe faith missions and their theology and to present an overview of the early development of faith missions insofar as they touched Africa.

Hudson Taylor (1832-1905) war nicht nur Gründer der bekannten China Inland Mission, sondern er rief, ohne es zu beabsichtien, eine ganz neue Missionsbewegung ins Leben, die neue Kräfe für die Weltmission gewann. Weil er nie um Geld bat, sondern sich im Glauben auf Got verliess, nannte man diese Missionen "Glaubensmissionen." Im deutschsprachigen Raum werden sie of als "Evangelikale Missionen" bezeichnet, im englischsprachigen Raum als "Interdenominational Missionen." Sie stellen heute weltweit einen beträchtlichen Anteil der evangelischen Missionare. Ihre Rolle als eigenständiger Zweig der weltweiten Missionsbewegung wird of unterschätzt. Klaus Fiedler stellt die ersten Jahrzehnte der Geschichte der Glaubensmissionen dar und ihr Kirchenverständnis, wie interdenominationlle Missionen denominationlle Kirchen gründen, die heute weit über zehn Millionen Mitglieder haben. Dieses Buch ist eine revidierte und erweiterte Neuausgabe von "Ganz auf Vertrauen. Geschichte und Kirchenverständnis der Glaubensmissionen" (Brunnen Verlag, 1992) und immer noch das Standardwerk zum Thema.

When a thousand leading members of the Nyasaland African Congress were detained under the emergency regulations imposed by the Federation government in 1959, the Presbyterian chaplains who ministered to them at Kanchedza Camp in Limbe were the late Rev Jonathan Sangaya and Rev Andrew C. Ross. They soon discovered that around 700 of the thousand men were members of the Church of Central African Presbyterian. This raised a question in the mind of the recently arrived Scottish missionary: how may we account historically for the fact that so many national leaders were Presbyterians? The quest to answer that question led him to produce the thorough examination of the foundation and early history of the Blantyre Mission of the Church of Scotland which is found in this book. Written in the mid-1960s, it remains today an indispensable work of reference for understanding the history of both church and nation in Malawi.
