S enegal is a dry land geographically and spiritually but God is pouring out His Spirit on the primarily Muslim and historically resistant populations of this country.

"The fields are very difficult. Threats, discouragement and hostility try to limit the presence of Christians," says Bible League’s National Director in Senegal.

Encouraged by God’s Word in Isaiah 41:17-20, Christians in Senegal are committed to make this promise a reality to those who thirst for “living water” despite persecution.

Listen to an African Christian tell their stories of persecution: Bibles "refused" to be burnt People "carry" the church in their hearts. (please allow a few seconds of buffering time.)

In 2006, Bible League was able to place 74,900 Scriptures in Senegal, graduate 10,307 Senegal people from a Project Philip Bible Study and baptise 1,288 new believers.
