Did a group of African men send a “God bless you” video message to slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk because of his missionary work in Africa? No, that’s not true: The video was produced by an African company that takes orders for birthday messages and other greetings online for a fee. There is no evidence that Kirk ever served as a missionary in Africa.
The video appeared in a post (archived here) shared by the @inezalbright2 account on X on September 15, 2025, with a caption that read:
Charlie Kirk did missionary work with his group Turning Point in Africa.
A very well known African doctor has pics of Charlie and herself on her X page with a very heartfelt message.
Charlie Kirk was a great debater, but he was one of the worse racist I have encountered.
A message from Africa.
This is what the post looked like at the time of writing:

Watermarks show the video seen in the X post above was originally posted (archived here) @marlon.lopez056 TikTok account on September 13, 2025. It was not clear if the account owner, who had previously posted videos relating to Kirk’s death, ordered the video or found it elsewhere.
The claim that Kirk “did missionary work with his group Turning Point in Africa” is unsupported by evidence. A review of online searches found references to his comments on white Afrikaners in South Africa seeking to immigrate to the United States. A search of the Turning Point USA website, which Kirk founded, turned up 36 results (archived here) for “Africa,” but none mentioned Kirk traveling to Africa.
