East African Revival was a Christian renewal movement that began in the 1920s and 1930s in Uganda, Rwanda, and other parts of East Africa. It emphasized personal holiness, confession of sin, and deep spiritual transformation through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. The East African Revival had a profound impact on the development of African Christianity and helped to shape the identity of many African Christians. The movement's emphasis on individual transformation and ethical living was seen as a powerful counter to the corrupt and authoritarian regimes that dominated many African countries after independence.
