Ministry Location Information: 

Senegal has made progress in development, especially in urban areas like Dakar. The city offers relatively good infrastructure and access to electricity, and there are growing opportunities in education and business. However, challenges remain, particularly in rural areas and among marginalized groups. The cost of living in Dakar can be high compared to other parts of the country, but it also provides better access to health care, schools, and communication networks.

Language Expectations: 

Language is an essential part of ministry. Those who do not know the language will attend a language study program. The goal will be to speak, read, and write the language at a functional level in order to mentor, teach, and train others. 

The worker will learn French for a 12-month period in France. This is necessary for general communication. Upon arrival to the country, the worker will study the language and culture of the target people group for a minimum of one year before starting ministry responsibilities. The team will guide new workers in a participant-driven local language program.  

Health Considerations: 

The ministry location has high temperatures (80–115°F) and occasional dust storms. There is a high level of air pollution at times. Quality health care and various specialty doctors are available in the capital. 

Expectations for Spouse: 

Spousal roles vary based on the spouse’s gifts, training, and abilities as well as the needs of the team. It is expected that both spouses will be meaningfully involved in meeting ministry objectives depending on the nature of family roles, children, etc. 

This ministry is a part of a larger team with other work in church planting, reaching professionals through business and leadership training, and medical ministry. A spouse could also serve in any of these areas. 

Children’s Education: 

In the capital, some team members’ children attend private bilingual French schools that use the French system. Most of the children’s classmates are the children of people from around Africa and Europe, as well as local children. Other team members’ children attend a Christian international Pre-K–12 school following the American system with all courses in English and taught mostly by Americans, as well as some foreign English speakers. The latter has two locations in the capital (one offers boarding) and one location about one hour outside of the capital.
