Past Projects in West Africa
In 2008, funding was provided to support two separate training sessions for Christian teachers. The goal was to help the churches and Christian organizations in the area open schools run by truly engaged Christians. These sessions not only included teaching on curriculum and management methods, but involved vision-casting for the future as well. This project took place in an area where the only public university has a student body that is 90 – 95 percent Muslim. Please continue to pray for the growth of these Christian schools.
