Jesus Mafa: African Jesus

In this generation there are so many sites which present the biblical story dressed in cross-cultural trappings. I will feature several sites later which is uniquely Asian, but I want to start with African Jesus.

The site I want to feature is “The life of Jesus Mafa: Jésus in Black African Countries.” The following is a short writeup which you can find in their website:
The MAFA pictures are a coherent set of African illustrations of the Gospel. They permit a good visualisation of the Sunday mass texts for the believer's faith, the catechist's comment and the celebrant's homely. Moreover they lead to prayer and, in a spirit of acculturation, the contemplation of a black Jesus.

So why an African Christ? Click here to read the reasons!
