Opening Ceremony
Building Bridges: A Timely Call for Pan-African Unity and Transformation
This opening plenary sets the stage by asking powerful questions:
- Who are we—collectively as Africans and across the Diaspora—and why does that matter for our shared future?
- How do we see ourselves today, and how should we see ourselves through the lens of Christ—rooted in dignity, pride, and purpose?
Attendees will be challenged and inspired to shift their mindset—breaking free from limiting beliefs, reclaiming narratives of possibility and ownership, and embracing principles of self-determination, self-reliance, and interdependence.
Grounded in biblical truth, you’ll walk away with:
- Real-life strategies that make transformation tangible.
- Practical examples that spark confidence and action.
- Clear steps for individuals and communities to live out a renewed, Christ-centered identity.
This is more than a conversation. It’s a call to rise together—to build bridges of oneness, prosperity, and generosity that carry us into lasting change.
Coffee Break
We’re connected by roots but separated by oceans, history, and misunderstandings. Let’s talk collaboration. How can the Diaspora support each other and Africa more meaningfully? What can Africa give back? It’s time to close the gap.
What happens when the next generation takes the mic? In this dynamic session, young changemakers share bold perspectives on leadership—what it means today, where it must go, and how older and younger generations can work together to shape the future.
This isn’t just about passing the torch—it’s about sparking new fires of vision, courage, and action.
Lunch
At the heart of AFReG 5 ADCC 2025 lies a conviction: that the time has come for Africans and people of African descent to take ownership of our collective destiny. To do so effectively, we must strategically invest in areas that create unity, shape identity, influence power structures, and generate long-term prosperity. Our focus on key Innovation Hubs—Business and Trade (Economic Sustainability), Health and Well-being, Creative (Media, Arts and Entertainment), Education and Haiti—is grounded in both the urgent needs and the unique opportunities facing our communities.
These hubs are dynamic breakout sessions designed to move us from conversation to action, designed to be spaces of honest dialogue and collaboration. More than just discussions, they’re incubators of change, designed to spark ideas, partnerships, and initiatives that will live far beyond the conference. Bring your ideas, your energy, and let’s build something amazing—one hub at a time!
Day 1 – Take a deep dive into the challenges, gaps, and barriers within each hub, naming the realities that hold us back, setting the stage for transformation.

This session is a bold call for Africans and the Diaspora to rise as Godly leaders. It will confront the realities of corruption and broken leadership while lifting up stories of courage, integrity, and transformation. With a Christ-centered lens, the message will highlight the urgent need for purpose-driven leaders in government, education, the Church, business, the military, and civil society. More than reflection, this plenary is a call to action: to finish what has been started, step boldly into leadership roles, and become builders, reformers, and carriers of hope. Attendees will leave with a clear vision of what is possible when Godly leadership is awakened and mobilized for lasting change.
