Join the global workers as they work together to catalyze a disciple-making movement in Sénégal.

Support Metro SenWest Initiative

Each of Senegal’s many ethnic groups cherishes its unique language and cultural traditions. Yet, nearly all of Senegal’s 18 million people (95%) bow toward Mecca and honor Muhammad as their prophet. Approximately 5% are Catholic.

The Wolof and Fulani, the two largest ethnic groups, are proud of their long-held Islamic traditions. Sixty years of outreach efforts have produced fewer than 500 Christians among 10 million Wolof and Fulani 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 of people in Senegal have yet to hear clear and consistent gospel messages in their mother tongue.

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.

We are asking God for 5% of Senegal’s urban triangle to become reproducing disciples of Jesus, emphasizing the unreached Wolof and Fulani.

The Place

The ministry efforts of the Metro SenWest Initiative focus 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 draw people from all over Senegal searching for employment and a new urban life.

The Impact

We are trusting God to see 4 generations of multiplying disciples in 10 discipling communities as we strive for leadership multiplication.

Metro SenWest Initiative Projects

A project is one piece of a larger initiative. It has a defined focus, with goals to accomplish an end result. Some projects are short term in nature; others may last for many years. You can read more about projects within this initiative, including how you can be involved.

Metro SenWest Initiative Global Workers

Converge missionaries are helping to start and strengthen churches together worldwide so people across the globe can meet, know and follow Jesus. Meet our missionaries and learn how you can become a key partner in accomplishing God’s mission by supporting them as they give others the opportunity to accept Jesus.

Get involved

Available Opportunities

Whether you are interested in taking part in a 1-2 week church-based trip or serve in the field for several months or years, there are opportunities for you to impact individuals, communities and regions around the world. Learn more about missions opportunities, including how you can become involved.

Connecting sending churches

When it comes to global missions work, a team will always accomplish more than an individual. To make a greater impact than it could on its own, your church can be a part of a network of churches, called a consortium, to share in the work of the Great Commission.

What does a consortium do?

  • Joins with Converge missionaries to undertake missionary efforts beyond the resources of any one member.
  • Promotes intercessory prayer for the Metro SenWest initiative and its missionaries.
  • Deploys resources to assist the Metro SenWest initiative and its missionaries in ministry.

The consortium is led by a team of US-based volunteers who work in close collaboration with the Metro SenWest initiative leader and our project teams.

As we connect with your church and its consortium, God unleashes his people in incredible fruitful ways.

  • Prayer movements begin.
  • Church volunteers are equipped to serve, train and engage in new ways.
  • The Holy Spirit unites diverse spiritual gifts beyond the ability of any single church.

Are you ready to work with churches from across the country to build a network committed to reaching people in SubSaharan, Africa? Contact us to learn how you can support the Metro SenWest initiative by joining a consortium today.

Let's connect

We are asking God for a gospel movement among every least-reached people group in our generation, so everything we do is about building and maintaining strong relationships. Communication is key. So, let’s connect. If you would like to learn more about this ministry or how we can partner together, or if you have a general question, please reach out.
