Our Concept of Partnership
The West Africa Partnership seeks to coordinate Church Planting Movements across:
- 9 Countries
- 130 Million People
- 30 Major Tribes
Partners Will...
- Our partnership is a collaboration of American churches and organizations that share a vision to expand the kingdom of God in a geographical area, a people group, and a community.
- Partners will align their complementary gifts and abilities in a spirit of cooperation with each other and their field partners, to act in unity towards their vision of God’s heart for every people.
- Partners will collaborate in affirming shared fundamental beliefs, defining clear roles, and establishing goals, action steps, and appropriate means of evaluating results.
West Africa Partnership: High Priority Countries & Target Zone
The geographical scope of WAP is West Africa, including nine countries with a combined population of 130 million, and comprising 30 major tribes. Most of these countries fall within the zone of the “10-40 Window.” In over 70% of this West African geographic territory Islam is the predominant religion. Furhtermore, the people are some of the least-reached in the world, having little or no access to the Gospel message of salvation.
