About Senegal: Reaching the Unreached with the Gospel
Senegal, a coastal West African nation of about 18.09 million people, is known for its cultural vibrancy and peaceful political climate. However, beneath the surface lies a spiritual reality that calls for urgent mission work. Of the 55 people groups in Senegal, 26 remain unreached, accounting for 47.3% of the population.
​
The State of The Unreached
Islam dominates Senegal’s religious landscape, with over 95% of the population identifying as Muslim, primarily following Sufi traditions. Christianity exists in small communities, but many people have never had a personal encounter with the gospel. The Wolof, one of the largest ethnic groups, is particularly unreached, making missions among them an urgent priority.
​
Circumstances
Senegal has relative political stability, allowing for greater opportunities for long-term church planting efforts. However, the spiritual barriers remain high, as many people equate Christianity with Western influence rather than seeing it as the universal truth of God’s love. This is why church planting in Senegal is crucial—to establish local fellowships where faith can be lived out within the cultural context.
​
Our Goal
By bringing missions and church planting efforts to Senegal, we are creating opportunities for lasting transformation. We are not just introducing people to a religion; we are introducing them to a relationship with Jesus Christ that can change lives and communities. The need is urgent, and the harvest is ready—this is why we're going there. Please Support us in the forms of prayers and donations
About Mali: A Nation in Need of the Gospel
Mali, a landlocked country in West Africa, is renowned for its rich cultural tapestry and diverse ethnic composition. The nation is home to several ethnic groups, including the Bambara, Fulani (Peuhl), Sarakole/Soninke/Marka, Senufo/Manianka, Malinke, Dogon, Sonrai, Bobo, and Tuareg/Bella.
Despite this cultural wealth, Mali faces significant challenges, with approximately 49% of its population living below the extreme poverty line. Notably, the median age is 16.2 years, making it the third youngest population globally.
​
The State of The Unreached
​
The religious composition is predominantly Muslim, with 93.9% of the population adhering to Islam. Christians constitute 2.8%, animists 0.7%, and those with no religious affiliation 2.5%.
A substantial portion of the population remains unreached by the Gospel. According to the Joshua Project, out of 74 distinct people groups in Mali, 44 are classified as unreached, accounting for 59.5% of the population.
​​
These unreached groups include the Fulanke, numbering around 100,000 individuals, who practice folk Islam—a syncretistic blend of traditional Islamic practices with indigenous beliefs.
Our Goal
In summary, while Mali's cultural and ethnic diversity is a source of national pride, there remains a significant opportunity for mission work to reach the many communities that have yet to be engaged with the Christian faith. We're in the beginning stage of planting house churches in Mali. Please support us in the forms of prayers and donations
