Welcome to the Africa West Field where The Church of the Nazarene is actively proclaiming the “GOOD NEWS” of Christ and the message of hope and life in the countries of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Côte d'Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Guinea-Conakry, Liberia, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo. West Africa represents approximately one third of the population of Africa; 40% are French speaking, 70% is Muslim. Our goal is to reach all of the 19 nations of West Africa with the Gospel. We welcome your engagement in the work in West Africa. As our Lord said, “The Fields are ready for harvest but the workers are few.” We have asked Him for more workers, and now we are trusting in Him for the provision.
