There are a handful of believers scattered in different villages around Kaffrine; their children are part of the first generation of Wolof children to be raised in Christian homes.
These young people have participated in children's storying groups, Christian
summer camps, and different Sunday School and youth groups over the past several
years through the work of many different missionaries. They are now beginning
to mature spiritually. They have grown up hearing God's Word and have seen Him work in the lives of their families. Three of these young people were baptized, at their own request, this year.
We are thrilled to see what God is doing in the lives of these young Wolof believers and their little brothers and sisters. We want to help them get a decent education to better equip them to serve God in the future.
