Missionaries of Africa at 150 years – Visa for Martyrdom!’ This is indeed a catching title for the 2018 Gong-Gong Magazine. The Society of the Missionaries of Africa was founded in 1868 in Algeria; and it rapidly grew into an influential Society of Apostolic Life alongside the birth of most African countries. This anniversary celebration is a time to remember, understand and refine the vision of our founder, Cardinal Charles Lavigerie. He was always clear in his mind that this foundation was the work of God, that God himself had willed and chosen the missionaries to be witnesses of His Love to the African peoples beyond Algeria and the Sahara desert.
