Suala hili ni zao na mfano halisi wa urithi wa miaka 25 wa Kamusi ya Wasifu wa Kikristo wa Kiafrika—nyenzo iliyobuniwa kuandika maisha ya waanzilishi Wakristo wa Kiafrika na kuhamasisha juhudi zaidi za utafiti ili kuhifadhi kumbukumbu zao. Toleo hili linaonyesha jinsi mwalimu mmoja alifanikisha malengo hayo yote mawili na kutoa kielelezo ambacho wengine wanaweza kuiga. Tembelea ukurasa wetu wa <a href="/journal/">jarida</a> ili kuisoma!</p> <p>DACB na Jarida la Wasifu wa Kikristo wa Kiafrika ni waanzilishi wa njia mpya za kufanya historia, za uchapishaji wa historia, na kueneza historia kwa kanisa la Kiafrika na la kimataifa—njia zinazotoa sauti, mali, na ufikiaji kwa watu ambao hadi sasa wamesimama kwenye kizingiti cha jumuiya hii. Tunakualika ushiriki katika maono yetu ya kujenga kanisa la kimataifa kwa kusimulia hadithi za watu wa Mungu katika Afrika.</p> <p>Ingawa DACB imekuwa, tangu 2012, mradi wa dijiti unaofungamana na [Kituo cha Ukristo na Utume wa Ulimwenguni] (https://www.bu.edu/cgcm/) katika Chuo Kikuu cha Boston, mahitaji yake ya kifedha, mishahara ya wafanyikazi, na machapisho hufadhiliwa karibu kabisa na michango.</p> <p>Tafadhali fikiria kutoa mchango au ahadi ya miaka mingi kwa mradi huo. Zawadi yako 100% itasaidia DACB moja kwa moja na inapunguzwa ushuru (wafadhili wa Amerika).
