A huge part of our calling here in West Africa is to plant churches. We do that through evangelism and discipleship. We also do this through training pastors and mentoring lay leaders.
The church is a group of believers coming together to worship God, to grow in their walk with the Lord and to spread the gospel together. A very practical piece of this process is providing these groups of believer, these churches, with a place to gather.
No, the building is not the church, but the building shows the community that the church is here. It's alive and well and it is growing. We are honored to be able to partner with Africa Tabernacle Evangelism and our supporting churches back home to plant local church buildings and help local churches thrive throughout their communities.
