About North Africa
This region is home to more than 106 million people, most of whom live their entire lives without hearing the name of Jesus or meeting a Christ-follower.
A significant barrier to the spread of the gospel in this region is the deep entrenchment of islamic tradition, and the strong emphasis on familial honour. For many, turning to Christ brings shame on their family, leading to severed relationships and even persecution. Workers who are convinced that Jesus is worth every sacrifice are needed to engage this forgotten community, bringing the light of the gospel to an unreached people.
About The Team
The team in North Africa is made up of workers from six countries who have come together to make Jesus known in this forgotten community. Together, they develop and disciple groups of sub-Saharan African college students to become campus witnesses.
This team has a unique opportunity to bring the gospel to the region. More than 20,000 French-speaking, sub-Saharan African students are studying in North Africa on university scholarships. Many of them are evangelical Christians, but few are equipped to share the gospel with their classmates across linguistic, cultural and religious barriers.
The primary goal of this team is discipleship, as they invest in these Christian students and equip them to reach their classmates with the gospel effectively. It is their prayer that this discipleship will lead to the growth of effective cross-cultural workers on university campuses throughout North Africa.
Vision
We envision a team of workers discipling large numbers of foreign evangelical university students to bring the Good News to students in North Africa.
