The missionaries sent from Europe to Africa was well summarised by Desmond Tutu.
“When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. ... When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.”-- Desmond Tutu.
This not only happened in Africa but also elsewhere such as in the Americas.
For the dispossessed indigenous populations of the world, the "Good News" was more like a "Terrible Curse".
The worldwide decline in religion is even beginning to be felt in parts of Africa like South Africa.
Most religious groups cling to their hopes by concentrating on countries that are currently pushing back on the decline and ignoring those that are experiencing setbacks as you appear to be doing.
