ABOUT GENERAL GATHERING
AABF GENERAL GATHERING
This is the official registration platform for the registration ahead of the 2026 General Gathering of the All Africa Baptist Fellowship (AABF). AABF is the regional representative of the Baptist World Alliance and we exist to network
the Baptist Family in Africa and beyond for Christ. We are in 45 African Countries and this year’s Gathering will take place in Nairobi, Kenya; an open, beautiful and people-friendly country where AABF had her first ever official meeting in 1982. You also need no visa to enter Kenya if you are carrying the international passport of any African country except Libya and Somalia.
Every General Gathering of the All Africa Baptist Fellowship affords the Baptist family, male, female, serving or non-serving Officers, the opportunity to be together in Worship, Word and Working together for the upward growth of the family that we all love and carry jealously, so much we say, Proudly Baptist! This General Gathering is very special because it is the first time that all our departments are going to be meeting at a common venue to promote our togetherness.
