WE ARE ASKING GOD FOR 5% OF SENEGAL’S URBAN TRIANGLE TO BECOME REPRODUCING DISCIPLES OF JESUS WITH EMPHASIS ON THE UNREACHED WOLOF AND PEUL.

Metro Senwest Initiative

Senegal

Each of Senegal’s many ethnic groups cherish their unique language and cultural traditions. Yet, nearly all of Senegal’s 16 million people (95%) bow toward Mecca and honor Muhammad as their prophet. Almost 5% are Catholic. The Wolof and Peul, the two largest ethnic groups, are proud of their long-held Islamic traditions and are content and complacent as Muslims.

Sixty years of outreach efforts have produced fewer than 500 Christians among 10 million Wolof and Peul living today. Yet, Jesus called us to make disciples among every people group — even resistant ones. Jesus himself loved a proud and resistant people.

Millions in Senegal have yet to hear clear and consistent gospel messages in their mother tongue. The ministry efforts of the Metro SenWest Initiative are focused on a large geographic triangle from the capital city of Dakar to two rapidly growing population centers to the east. Many large development projects within this triangle are drawing people from all over Senegal searching for employment and a new urban life.

We faithfully proclaim God’s message of salvation through a variety of strategies and venues. Muslims with “ears to hear” will rejoice in God’s redeeming love and come to faith in Jesus.

Gotel

Nigeria

Nigeria is the 7th largest nation in the world with a population of over 200 million, and it is expected to double in size over the next 30 years. It is home to over 530 people groups with almost half of them considered least-reached, and many Christians have just added Christianity to their tribal beliefs.

The Gotel Mountains are located in eastern Nigeria and stretch into Cameroon. This is the home of the Gotel Initiative. We are committed to developing Jesus followers in the unreached here as well as discipling cultural Christians to understand they can have a personal relationship with Jesus. Our Vision is for 25,000 people from 10 least-reached people groups in the Gotel Mountains to be gathered into disciple-making communities. We believe that this momentum will create a movement that will sweep across Nigeria.
