Know Senegal

Senegal is a country on the west coast of Africa, bordered by Mauritania, Mali, Guinea, and Guinea-Bissau. It almost surrounds The Gambia.

The capital city is Dakar, a major cultural and economic center in West Africa. Senegal is known for its political stability and democratic traditions compared to many countries in the region.

French is the official language, while Wolof and several local languages are widely spoken. The population is ethnically diverse, with strong cultural traditions in music, art, and storytelling.

The economy is based on agriculture, fishing, mining, trade, and tourism. Senegal is also known internationally for its music scene, especially styles popularized by artists like Youssou N’Dour.

The country has a rich history, including the historic Gorée Island, which is linked to the transatlantic slave trade.

Overall, Senegal is recognized for its cultural influence, relative political stability, and important role in West Africa.

MISSIONAL VISION
Reaching Senegal’s Unreached

Senegal is 96% Muslim — one of the most homogeneous Islamic societies in West Africa — and a gateway nation whose influence radiates across Francophone Africa and into the diaspora. The Pulaar, Wolof, and Jola peoples remain among the continent’s most strategically unreached groups. Traditional mission approaches have made negligible impact. Women in conservative communities live with restricted media access and almost no gospel exposure.

The ADD strategy centres on 100 contextualised gospel stories in Wolof and Pulaar distributed via WhatsApp, SD cards, and radio, paired with 30 solar-powered women’s audio Bible listening circles and 60 secure micro-fellowship plants.

Priority target groups: Muslim-majority unreached groups (Pulaar, Wolof, Jola) · Urban and rural youth with digital access but low Gospel exposure · Women in conservative communities with low literacy and high isolation

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” — John 1:5 NIV

Rokhaya Diallo
30 · Market Trader, Dakar · Listening Circle Member
Rokhaya runs a fabric stall in Dakar's Sandaga market. She received a solar audio kit through a women's community health distribution. She expected it to contain health advice. Instead it contained Wolof Bible stories. “I was angry at first,” she admits. “I turned it off.” A week later, bored during a slow day at the market, she turned it back on. The story was about a woman who had been shamed by her community and found acceptance she didn't expect. “That was my story,” Rokhaya says quietly. A digital missionary reached her through a community contact. Over six months of Wolof voice notes and prayer, Rokhaya gave her life to Christ — still attending Friday prayers with her family, still praying privately every morning.
“My faith is young and secret and very, very strong. One day it will have a name people know. For now it belongs to me and God.” Rokhaya has told two women at her market stall about what she heard in the audio kit.
