Over 100,000 West African Muslims live throughout the five boroughs of New York City and many have never personally met a Christian or even had the complete Bible in their own language. The main project is to search out and discover the boundaries in their communities and find people of peace, people who desire to hear the gospel. We need more laborers to work alongside us as we figure out where West Africans are being sent across the five boroughs. Activities include: teaching English classes; working with asylum seekers; prayer walks; visiting mosques; shops and homes; homeless ministry; and developing lasting relationships to lead into Bible studies.
The main locations will include Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn and parts of Queens. The number of West African Muslims has grown substantially since 2023 due to thousands of immigrants coming into the city. Some come here just to get a job and send money back home to help support their families. Others come with their families to find more opportunities for wealth and education. Each of those coming are seen as providers for their communities back in West Africa and are a gateway into a community that has not heard the Gospel.
Special requirements: Students that serve on this project need to know that you will be serving among unreached and unengaged peoples from West Africa. This will be a pioneer work. You must be bold and a self-starter.
