Africa is our largest field, with 200+ field partners engaging unreached people groups in ten countries.
Area Director: Raphael Juttah
Born in Malawi, Raphael spent his childhood and youth around Sani Muslim populated area in which only one Christian denomination survived the politics of Islam. Though born in religious family, he became regenerate in 1988 and became a serious evangelist amongst the Chewa Muslims with the apologetic kind of preaching. This brought him into serious trouble and became a lesson that helped him change approach to witness Christ to Muslims. Raphael became much motivated when he joined GT in 2003 and from this day he has done ministry amongst Chewa, Yawo Muslims and now with Gujarat and Swahili Muslims.
Raphael was married to Monica in 1997 and together they are blessed with five kids of which one is already with the Lord in heaven. He holds Bachelor of Arts in Theology with University of Malawi and Master of Arts in pastoral ministry with MGST. Raphael is an ordained Anglican priest since the year 2001 and has been serving as a priest as well a field partner.
Raphael has been doing ministry in Malawi and Mozambique since 1993 and was leading GT Malawi as Country Coordinator before he got appointed as acting director for Africa. Raphael takes the mantle from Francis Matumba, his best friend and coworker for many years.
