What It's Like

In West Africa, people value relationships more than any schedule, and friendly foreigners are typically welcomed warmly. Beyond that, diversity abounds:

Geography – It ranges from rain forests to barren deserts to modern cities and tropical islands.

People – It’s home to subsistence farmers, fishermen, nomadic herders and merchants who face challenges from civil war to disease and famine.

Spirituality – It includes Islamic strongholds, voodoo covens and the witchcraft of African Traditional Religion (ATR).

Christianity has made its impact in some areas, but hundreds of people groups have never heard the Gospel. For many, extremely rough terrain physically hinders their access to Truth.
