More fulfillment of 'many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first'.

I love stories like this. The lord will save his name and cleanse his house through the actions of both the conservative and the liberal.
Luke 12
49 am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Ezekiel 36
21 But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
22 Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

The title of the OP makes no sense, as if "Africa" is a united something? What is meant by Africa? The raping Somalian structure and warlords? SA and it's British hang ups, the formerly French now muslim countries? A few Christian ones, like Ivory Coast?

The Christians in Africa who aren’t buying the woke stuff. And Christianity in Africa is growing faster than anywhere in the world. My guess is the LDS Church is growing more quickly in Africa than anywhere else as well.
https://news-africa.churchofjesuschrist ... rch-growth
“Eight of the top ten countries with the most rapid church growth in the world come from Africa. According to an article from LDS Living based on number of congregations added, Tanzania takes the lead with a 62.5% increase in number of congregations over 2020 and 2021.
“In second place comes Malawi, with a 50% increase, followed by Zambia with 31% expansion, the Democratic Republic of the Congo with a 21% increase, Mozambique with a 14% increase, Liberia with a 9% increase, Sierra Leone with an expansion rate of just under 9% and Zimbabwe with an 8.75% growth rate. Also on the top ten list were Kiribati and Papua New Guinea – both island countries in the Oceania region.”

My parents have served two missions in Africa. One of the best surprises that they encountered was a lack of curse words.
That and a solid respect for their elders. My parents, with their almost white hair, were almost treated as royalty.... or so it seemed to them. A very humble people with strong love of family. (In the regions that my parents served)
