Gospel & Church Partnership

Every clinic, every meal, every act of care opens a door — and the good news of Jesus walks through it.

At the heart of everything Africa Cries Out does is a simple hope: that the people of Senegal would come to know Jesus. We share the gospel with love, patience, and respect — never alone, but hand in hand with the local church — through prayer and spiritual care, football and community outreach, and everyday witness that invites honest conversations about faith.

Why we go

Good news, shared in love

We serve bodies because we love people, and we share the gospel because people were made for more than this life. Compassion and proclamation belong together — mercy that meets a need, and a message that meets the soul.

Our outreach is never coercive. We come as guests, honoring the culture and the people of Senegal, sharing what we have found in Christ and trusting God to do what only He can do. Whoever responds is welcomed into a local church for lasting discipleship.

"How will they hear without someone to tell them? So we go — gently, and with great hope." — The heart of gospel outreach
How we partner

Working alongside the local church

Everything we do is rooted in the local church — so that everyone who responds finds a lasting home in the family of God, discipled for the long road.

Local Church Partnership

We come as guests, not owners — walking with Senegalese pastors and congregations who know their people, and who disciple every new believer for the long road.
