FRANCOPHONE WEST AFRICA
WE WORK WITH GOD TO LAUNCH DISCIPLE MAKING MOVEMENTS IN FRANCOPHONE WEST AFRICA
Showing practical love in ways that lead to movements
The story of God’s glory is that since March 2005, the Lord has used the Disciple Making Movement (DMM) process in Francophone West Africa to catalyze 10,645 new churches with 136,320 new disciples—many from places where the gospel had not sprouted let alone spread for over a century. However, ‘movements’ of churches planting churches are our main measure of success. We define a ‘movement’ as at least 100 new churches that have multiplied to the fourth generation or beyond. Currently, we are tracking 27 of these movements in Francophone West Africa.

LAUNCHING MOVEMENTS THAT LAUNCH MOVEMENTS
New Generations—the name says it all. Our passion is to mobilize disciples that make disciples, resulting in churches that plant churches. Like Jesus’ parable of the seed that fell on good soil, each individual seed has the power to create countless future generations of new seeds.
Our ministry compass points to the pioneer places, where the Gospel has never been or has never flourished. Among these unengaged and unreached peoples, our mission is simple: ‘We work with God to launch Disciple Making Movements’
DISCOVER THE PROCESS
The results have been incredible so far. And yet, the real story is not found in the number of people turning to Jesus today, but in the implications for world missions in the days to come. Watching God work through Disciple Making Movements has left us in awe of what He’s capable of doing in the present and waiting in great anticipation for what He will do in the future.

YOUTH PROJECTS
Our team in this region has a passion for the youth in these communities. Many kids, living on the streets, are in need of hope, love, and spiritual direction in their lives. We aim to provide both the physical and spiritual needs that are prevalent in our communities. You can join us today in financially supporting the youth in Francophone West Africa!
