As a team, we have a variety of ministries with the same goal – to Equip and Encourage Churches in Senegal. This fund will help the entire field. Sometimes, we use this for field-wide ministries. Other times, we will be able to use this fund for a ministry that is struggling. VISION Senegal is 95% [...]

Only 57% of adults in Senegal are literate in the Roman script. But many parents send their children to Qur'anic schools where they learn to read the Arabic script. Wolof can be written with this Arabic alphabet (Wolofal, or Ajami Wolof). It would be good if we had the funds to publish the Wolof Bible [...]

WE ARE ALMOST THERE! It has been our long-term goal to plant a church in Dakar that would use national languages (Wolof and Serer languages targeted) and worship in ways relevant to the culture. This directly fulfills WorldVenture’s global priority of establishing healthy, reproducing churches. THIS IS WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE: * December 11, [...]

This fund supports compassion outreaches that open hearts to the gospel: pays for medical interventions, especially for street children, pays for education of orphans, helps sustain widows who are rejected by their families, and pays for fuel for a national believer to witness to religious teachers and relatives of the children in a Qur’anic school [...]

The Wolof translator's daughter is putting her father's translations to African rhythms, doing concerts which break down Muslim prejudices against the Christian scriptures. [...]

Only 57% of the population is literate, and that, in the Roman alphabet. But many parents send their children to Qur'anic schools where they learn to read the Arabic script. The Serer language can be written in both scripts. The churches want to reach the religious leaders in their villages with the scriptures in a [...]

The project is a revolving fund to receive sales of Wolof scriptures and fund the printing and shipping of the Wolof Bible ($16 each) and New Testament ($8 each). The project will also supply funds to publish "spin-off's" in-country: single books such as Genesis, Psalms, Proverbs, Luke-Acts and probably a mini-Bible selection of OT and [...]

The Word of God in one's heart language is a powerful change agent. Senegalese believers who have attended French-speaking churches for years have finally understood the stories of the Bible after having heard the Bible in Wolof. Thus, the goal of this special project is to provide the Wolof Bible in oral means to an [...]

These funds will sponsor the training of workers by paying for their course work, food and/or room. Funds will also help purchase tools, materials or needed machines to encourage young men as they begin a career.

Missionaries who want to see the church in Senegal strongly founded on the Word of God, have made the New Testament available in recorded format. Megavoice, a small, durable, and easy to use digital audio player with its own power source, can hold up to 180 hours of audio. Funds will be used to purchase [...]

The Institut de Theologie Evangelique du Senegal (ITES) trains national church leaders to help churches in Senegal. Currently there are a few nationals on staff at the school but ultimately it would be beneficial to have the school run completely by nationals. The administration would like to hire a full-time Senegalese director. PROBLEM The primary [...]

Funds from this project will be used to purchase food staples that will be distributed to a devastated area of Senegal. PROBLEM A locust plague destroyed much of the crops in the area surrounding Diourbel. Chemicals used to control the infestation poisoned the plant life, which in turn, has killed many animals. VISION We want [...]

The Evangelical Institute of Dakar (IED) is in need of updated facilities. This school trains pastors and lay leaders in Senegal to help strengthen the national church. The funds from this project will be applied to the purchase of an existing building or land where the needed facilities can be built. PROBLEM Currently the school [...]

In a country of 18 million people where half are illiterate, it is imperative to disseminate the gospel through oral media. Listening to the radio, especially to local stations, is popular in Senegal. Local stations are making airtime available to churches and missions, sometimes freely or very economically. The Association of Evangelical Baptist Churches of [...]

This project provides funds for the renovation and development of a camp on the beach in Senegal. This campsite has been used for many years by people from all over Senegal. Many Senegalese have become Christians at the camp and many Christians have been strengthened in their faith. VISION By renovating existing structures, building new [...]

This is the final stage of a 60-year project begun in 1963 by a British worker with the Open Brethren. He worked with Mr. Fall, then Mr. Fall's son, who died in the year 2000. Another Wolof believer finished what was lacking, but had a different style so what had been done already had to [...]

This project provides funds for the purchase of library resources for the Evangelical Institute of Dakar. This institute is the primary church leadership training school in Senegal. PROBLEM The institute's library currently holds approximately 3,000 volumes, but this includes English language resources as well as French. We need more French language theological resources on site [...]
