Senegal is 95% Muslim and at most .1% Evangelical Christian. While the Wolof are the dominant people group and there are only about 100 known believers among them, WorldVenture is related to some 27 churches primarily among the Serere People. Most church women are illiterate but intelligent and able to learn. The study of the Bible will make them better mothers, wives, neighbors, and church members…thus impacting all levels of society, but all that is a result of teaching them to grow in the Lord on their own through knowing how to study the Bible. Come join us and help us train, disciple and mentor women among the Wolof and Serere of Senegal.
