Students Minister to Thousands

February 3, 2009

Dakar Academy students in Senegal, West Africa, recently concluded the school’s now biannual outreach event, which takes them to numerous villages to perform various acts of service.

The students, many of whom are Alliance MKs (missionary kids), experienced firsthand how God can use them to advance His Kingdom. Led by Academy dorm personnel and Alliance missionary Evan Evans, the students ministered to more than 3,500 people in 10 villages.

Through medical care, kids’ Bible clubs, building projects, and evangelism campaigns, “more than 100 people responded to the message of salvation,” said Evans. “Some of our teams were the first to ever present the gospel in some of these villages!”

MKs Bring Revival

The medical team set a new record, ministering to 280 people. But the highlight came when the MKs worshipped in a church that they helped to build during the last trip.

“The national church president said that there were more than 200 people now attending the church,” said Evans. “He went on to say that through the efforts of the students from Dakar Academy, there has been a spirit of revival that has enveloped the entire region.”

None of these things could have been possible without the prayers of God’s people” Evans continued, “so thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayer support!”

What you can do:

Pray for God’s wisdom and guidance for Dakar Academy personnel as they lead the next generation that will go and make disciples of all nations. Also, pray that the national church will grow strong and produce lasting fruit.
