  The prayers in this collection represent a strong and vibrant belief in God, which led, under the influence of the missionaries, to the development of the flourishing African Church of today. European missionaries and settlers in Africa found rich prayer tradition. The traditional prayers of the African tribes are direct and personal. Their religions centred around a strong belief in a supreme divinity, and saw divine power in all aspects of life. As well as offering praise and asking requests, their prayers frequently ask poignant questions and explore the issues we still wrestle with today.
