Pentecostal movement
The story of the growth of Christianity in Africa is not complete without mentioning Pentecostalism, the fastest growing religious movement in the world.
Pentecostalism is a form of Christianity that emphasizes the action of the Holy Spirit and the direct experience of the presence of God by the believer.
Nimi Wariboko, a Boston University professor and author of books on global Christianity, says the number of Pentecostals on the continent has grown from 107 million in 2006 to 230 million in 2020.
