The 2022 French translation of Conceive Achieve for Teens by Adnah McKenna and Julius Mwebia has continued to bear fruit, bringing African Christian content into the French-speaking world and opening the door for wider consideration of African-authored books.

Speaking in Montélimar, France, Christian Piaget, Directeur of Éditions at CLC France, noted that the book has shown strong potential and has helped create opportunity for more African titles to be considered by the French publishing team.

Dr Muthoni Omukhango, who was in Montélimar for the first time to discuss the strengthening of the partnership, also received a royalties statement and payment from CLC France. This marks another encouraging milestone for CLC Kenya/ACABA/MABB, coming only a few days after a similar development with CLC Colombia.

Sharing her joy, Dr. Muthoni Omukhango described the statement and royalties as a clear encouragement from God to Africa to keep writing, publishing, and trusting Him for greater impact.

As part of this growing partnership, CLC France has requested 24 books for review by its publishing team. These titles are:

1. True Love Waits — Rev. Patrick Makewa
2. Naked Truth About Sex — David Njeru
3. Taking Possession with Jesus — Faith Mathenge
4. Yes Lord — Faith Mathenge
5. Marriage, Thistles & Flowers — Barnabas & Grace Achoki
6. The Favoured Woman Devotional — ACABA Authors

17. Wired Weird — Wairimu Kanyi

In addition, five children’s titles were highlighted as part of the wider conversation on the growing potential of African Christian publishing:

1. A Faithful Friend — Adorah Odhiambo
2. Summer’s Big Move — Bernice Odhiambo
3. Too Close for Comfort — Ethan Imara
4. God Made Time/Time is a Gift from God  — Gabriella Omukhango

We wish all the authors every success as these books go through the consideration process. We remain grateful to God for each open door and encouraged that African Christian voices are continuing to find a place on the global stage.
