There are 17 local churches with a total of around 1250 members. There are several places in Africa where they arrange Christian meetings, local children and youth activities, and youth Bible studies.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous local African churches share BCC\u2019s beliefs, and many have a strong desire to attend the international conferences here in Norway. However, due to poor economy and problems with getting visas, this is often difficult to achieve.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14513\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14513\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14513 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bcc.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/South-Africa-1024x682-1.jpg\" alt=\" width=\"770\" height=\"513\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14513\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Stephanopark Conference Center in Vanderbijlpark, South Africa.

With Internet streaming, events can be broadcast after they take place, mainly through the BrunstadTV website. Edifying content is also published on Active Christianity, both on the website and social media.<\/p>\n<p>Among the local South African churches there has been a strong commitment in finding ways of making it possible to access BrunstadTV across Africa. In addition, the WEW Foundation and other organizations have helped with financing through their own projects, providing far more access to streaming.<\/p>\n<p><em>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/bcc.africa\/missionary-work\/\">Mission work in BCC Africa<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14539\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14539\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14539 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bcc.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/brunstad_christian_church_kristen_menighet_misjon_5-1.jpg\" alt=\" width=\"770\" height=\"513\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14539\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>During the trip our representatives gained valuable insight into how to adapt content to African everyday life.
