This document discusses the differences between ethnic groups and religious groups in Africa. It provides examples of four major ethnic groups found in Africa - Arab, Ashanti, Bantu, and Swahili - and describes the religious diversity within each group. The Arab ethnic group predominantly follows Islam, while the Ashanti practice a mixture of traditional spiritual beliefs and Christianity/Islam. The large Bantu group practices a wide variety including animism, Islam, and Christianity. Most Swahili people adhere to Islam along with traditional beliefs in spirit possession.
The document summarizes several major ethnic groups in Africa:
Arabs first arrived in Egypt in the late 600s AD and spread across northern Africa, establishing the majority in areas along the Mediterranean and East Coast. They introduced Islam but some remain Christian.
The Ashanti people live in West Africa near Ghana and have traditional beliefs centered around a supreme god and natural forces, though some are now Christian or Muslim. They revere ancestors and the sacred Golden Stool.
The Bantu were one of the earliest groups, spreading south and east as farmers and herders. Over 60 million now speak Bantu languages and blend traditional, Christian and Muslim beliefs.
The Swahili people live along East Africa's
Afghanistan sits at the intersection of Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and the Middle East and has a very dry climate with desert sandstorms reaching up to 177 km/hr. The population is estimated at 32.7 million, with over 3.5 million living abroad as refugees and the majority being Muslim. Despite its poverty and mountainous terrain, Afghanistan has fiercely independent inhabitants living in a warzone with U.S. troops currently entering the country at the request of local generals.
Kenya is located in East Africa, bordered by Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda, and Tanzania. It has a coastline on the Indian Ocean. Kenya has a tropical climate and its highest point is Mount Kenya. Kenya has a population of over 31 million people and is home to 62 languages, with Swahili and English as the official languages.
There are three major religions in Africa: traditional beliefs, Christianity, and Islam. Traditional African beliefs vary between ethnic groups but generally involve worship of spirits, gods, and ancestors as well as sacrifice. Ethnic groups each have their own languages, customs, and religions, with Arabs predominantly following Islam and groups like the Ashanti and Bantu typically practicing traditional religions that incorporate ancestral worship and spiritual elements.
As part of Transition Year geography, we were divided up into groups of 2 and given a country of interest. Each group had to research the requirements needed to travel to their chosen country, the food eaten, the cultural norms, and some of the most popular places to visit in the country. We also had to research how to get there, and at what price. We then presented our research in a power-point presentation and tried to sell our chosen country to our fellow class mates.
For our project we contacted the Kenyan embassy in Ireland and asked them could they provide us with any information on Kenya. Luckily they sent us loads of info and even sent us a DVD showing us the wildlife found in Kenya. I thought this project really enjoyable and I now really want to visit Kenya in the future.

The Maasai people originated in northern Kenya and Tanzania, speaking the Maa language, and have faced increasing conflicts over land rights as their territory has been reduced for settlers and protected areas. The British took over 60% of Maasai lands in 1911, and later the creation of Tanzania and Kenyan independence led to more land being designated as wildlife reserves and national parks. Currently, the Maasai are fighting to maintain access to the Loliondo District after 1,500 square kilometers were granted to an investment company in 1992, displacing 30,000 Maasai. They struggle with discrimination in cities and an exploitation of their culture for tourism despite facing barriers to modernization. However, the Maasai

Arab traders began frequenting the Kenya coast to the first century AD Kenya's proximity to the coast of the Arabian peninsula favored the establishment of permanent settlements. Between I and V century some Greek merchants of Egypt participated in trade with Kenya. Around 500 AD, some merchants from the Persian Gulf, southern India and Indonesia began to trade with East Africa. This trade led to the establishment of trading posts. Over time these enclaves, they became personal Arab city states along the coast. By the eighth century, these cities were governed by rulers who had converted to Islam.
Muslim traders had little incentive to penetrate beyond the sea in Africa, since the goods in which they were interested as gold from the mines of Zimbabwe, ivory, slaves, tortoise shells, and the rhino horns were collected by the local people of the interior, and was sold to coastal traders in seasonal markets.

Darwin said, "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.”
Darwin, C. (1872) Origin of Species, 6th ed. (1988), New York University Press, New York, p. 154.
180 years later, his theory has broken down according to his own criteria! There is ABSOLUTELY NOT ONE TRANSITIONAL FOSSIL BETWEEN KINDS OF ANIMALS. DARWIN'S THEORY IS WRONG!
And his ideas have promoted racism and white supremacy more than any other single person worldwide for the past 150 years! Darwin needs to be Dethroned in our scientific and educational systems.
No one has influenced the entire world with "scientific" support for atheism, eugenics, racism and white supremacy more than Charles Darwin! It's time to dethrone him in science and in education.
Besides, his main ideas on evolution have been proven false: Absolutely no fossils to support gradual evolution between kinds of animals and molecular biology and DNA code science conclusively prove that random chance mutations could never have produced the massive complexity of life we now know exists even in one cell. Please challenge his ideas in your scientific and educational commmuities.
Here is a talk I gave on this recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QRM7mxCVFI&t=706s
I can send you the original as a Powerpoint or Keynote if you ask in the comments.
In fact, it seems like a contradiction, doesn’t it? An oxymoron: Our loving God sees the death of His beloved children as a blessing. I hope I can explain this scriptural truth well enough to convince you that God has good reasons to see our deaths as a good and precious thing.
I can tell you from personal experience and from the Bible that God is the most wonderful, tender-hearted, and kind Father anyone could imagine.
Experiencing the love of God as your Father is the birthright of every born-again Christian!
It will change your life as it has changed mine!
“They stood in their places and confessed their sins and the sins of their ancestors.” Neh. 9:2
Why: The Mosaic Covenant!
“But if they will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors—… I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.” Leviticus 26: 40-42
This message is a prophetic word the Lord has given me. Test it.
Jerusalem represents the American Church— all the followers of Jesus
The broken walls of Jerusalem represent the broken moral and spiritual foundations of the Church— broken by many sins in the Church
Through those broken walls, forces of darkness have infiltrated and corrupted the people of God
The book of Nehemiah is a metaphor for how God is rebuilding our spiritual walls and cleansing God’s people in America
God restored Jerusalem in preparation for the coming of Jesus about 450 years later
God is restoring us now in preparation for a huge national and international revival

3:32 / 13:36 Unforgiveness: One of the most Dangerous Sins a Christiain Can ...Abundant Life Fellowship
The sternest, most dramatic warnings against sin by Jesus are in Matthew 6 & 18. It is the sins of unforgiveness!
Protect yourself and your loved ones from this toxic sin!
Learn about the dangers of unforgiveness now. The world is turning against Christians more and more. Be prepared to be offended. Be ready to forgive and to return good for evil. We must! Jesus demands it. It's for our protection. Unforgiveness is a great danger.
Here's why followers of Jesus can have a confidence that is strong, consistent and holy no matter what happens to them in this life.

A message most Christians will not hear often. Some will never hear this in a church today. But persecution is coming to America—ready or not! Jesus promises us persecution. the Bible is full of examples and teaching on our call to suffer as followers of God.
The document discusses beliefs about heaven, describing it as the final home for Christians. It provides details about heaven from various biblical passages, portraying it as a place of glory, beauty, and joy where believers will be with God and see his face. The document emphasizes that through faith in Jesus, believers have assurance of their heavenly citizenship and will be spared from death through resurrection to eternal life in heaven.
The word "God" is used about 4500 times in the Bible. In 99.9% of the time, God refers to the Father. Read these scriptures where the word 'Father' is substituted for 'God' and get a better appreciation for the loving, gentle, Father Every Christian has through faith in Jesus.
Jesus was sent by the Father to bring us back to Him. God wants a close, "Abba" daddy relationship with us like He had with Adam and Eve in the garden. They walked together int he cool of the day—as a close family of a Father and His children.
God wants all of His children to have that kind of relationship with Him. That's why He sent Jesus!
God communicates to the author about mothers and their importance. God expresses having both a father's and mother's love for humanity. Mothers reflect God's character through their ability to love sacrificially, suffer for their children, and deeply identify with their children. Honoring one's mother honors God, as mothers were assigned by God. Failing to honor one's mother risks losing blessings. Practical ways to honor mothers include communicating often with expressions of gratitude and anticipating their needs.
We were created to become children of God, joint-heirs of Jesus who will rule and reign with Him in heaven. Salvation through Jesus is all of that! Get to know Jesus! Glory God no with your lives and prepare yourselves to rule with Jesus forever in heaven!! Don't waste your life just living for earthly things. Prepare for eternity by loving, enjoying and obeying Jesus NOW!

This is a message of comfort. God has BIG plans for all Christians when they get to heaven. He will glorify us in ways we cannot imagine. Look at the biblical proof that God has always planned to do this for all His adopted children who come to Him through faith in Jesus!
Go here to see my comments about how this teaching differs from Mormon false teachings about God and heaven. https://www.alf.church/called-to-be-glorified/
So why do I feel that this message about being adopted by God is so foundational to the normal Christian life?
Because Jesus came to bring us back to the Father. Jesus came to show us the Father. If you’re a Christian and you don’t know the Father, you’re missing one of the main reasons that Jesus came to earth. His death on the cross was just the means to enable us to know the Father and be the adopted as his children.

The Bible and experience confirms that our personalities, values, identity and conscience are largely formed by the family that raised us. We get "spiritual DNA" from our parents and ancestors that can be good and bad. Sin patterns, dysfunctional relationship patterns and coping mechanisms run in families. This is an intro to a huge and important topic that probably should be a series. This is a topic that can open up thinking and family discussions that could help heal and protect your family. This is not a topic most churches talk about but one they need to address due to the increases of sin and dysfunction in American families today.
This is just a short message on the necessity of hearing God's voice for every Christian. God speaks to His children for the same reasons we parents speak to our children: to know who we are, Whose we are and how to live well.

Only found in Tanzania. Live 35 miles west of Lake Narton in Arusha region of
Tanzania—a briny, caustic alkaline lake
Massai gave them that name. Sonja call themselves Batemi or Temi
Speak Sonjo, a Bantu language they call Kitemi
Known for irrigation systems in farming, with terraced sites
They maintain a warrior class consisting of young men who have gone through
the rites of passage. In the past the Sonjo people have been known for their
conflict with the Maasai, though at present there appears to be peace.
17. SONJOTRIBE OFTANZANIA
The Sonjo call themselves Temi.The Sonjo are a traditional
people who live in the midst of a Maasai region in the northwest
corner of Tanzania. Like the Maasai, the Sonjo continue to hold
on to traditional beliefs, customs, and lifestyle.They still build
their round one-room houses of sticks with thatch roofs.The
people continue to wear "shukas," colored cloth worn in a toga
style, much like the Maasai.
Arusha region: Ngorongoro district, north central near Kenya
border, Maasai area. 7 villages: Sale, Mdito, Samunga, Digodigo,
Kisangiro, Mugholo, Oldonyo Sambu.
18. SONJOTRIBE OFTANZANIA
Although Christianity had reached into the villages of the Sonjo,
the overall response has been very slow and in some cases
hostile.
Their traditional religion is strong, and its adherents have focused
efforts to frighten young Christians back into traditional beliefs.
Nonetheless, their culture does have a door through which
Christianity may enter: they believe that their god once lived
among them and has promised to return.
