Senegal is home to more than 50 ethno-linguistic groups. Roughly 90% of the population remains Islamic. With Senegal gaining its independence from France in 1960 and declaring itself a secular state with freedom of religion, it holds a key role to reaching all of West Africa. United World Mission sees this potential and has been steadily building a reputation among national denominations, believers and government agencies as a trusted friend.
While we are implementing the vision as church planter trainers in Senegal, UWM is also developing a regional training team based in Dakar with a focus toward all of French speaking West Africa. UWM founded a nationally led missionary sending agency Mission Inter Senegal (MIS), with which we continue to partner, to plant churches in several unreached villages and among multiple people groups. These efforts use a holistic approach to ministry taking into consideration the cultural issues of Senegal. In addition, UWM is a partner in a K-12 missionary school (Dakar Academy). Most recently UWM has acquired a piece of property, which can host a cross-cultural training program for Senegalese church planting missionaries.
United World Mission is actively working to field additional personal into this country (and region) as well as developing needed partnerships to complete field projects.
