The Alliance Africa Regional Office is located in the country’s capital city of Dakar along with the Dakar church-planting team, marketplace ministries, CAMA Services, and Dakar Academy. The latter is a boarding and day-school program (K–12), largely serving the children of international workers. An Alliance team also serves in a dense population center among Senegal’s largest unreached people group.

Desert Springs Team

Through partnering with an established evangelical church in northwest Senegal and workers with another mission, the team seeks to develop a church-planting movement in the region, primarily among the country’s largest people group. Alliance team members serve with this small group of Senegalese believers to accomplish the work to which God has called them, including administering a young women's training school, a health clinic, a Christian reading room, kid’s clubs, and a vocational training school for young men.

In addition, the team ministers to nearly 300 street boys, who are among the thousands roaming Senegal’s streets. Relinquished by parents who can’t afford to feed them, these youngsters are given to local religious leaders, who require them to beg for their daily bread. Alliance workers seek to develop relationships with these boys and their teachers, providing medical check-ups, warm clothing, and hot meals to the youth.

Team Initiatives

• Incarnate Jesus’ love through serving in the aforementioned areas of health and education
• Proclaim His truth through conducting Bible studies, often using chronological Bible storytelling
• Demonstrate His power, seeking opportunities to pray for God’s healing, deliver the demon-oppressed, and interpret dreams and visions

They also work closely with The Breath of Life Center, the local Association of Christian Medical workers and their network of medical workers and clinics, the International Christian Fellowship of Dakar, and other creative-access ministries. This diverse team serves in Dakar and outlying areas through a variety of outreaches.

Team Initiatives
