Description
Examines the barriers to the Gospel in the Sahel, such as the unique, spirit-manipulating, spell-casting world of West African Islam. A story of: ◦ Remarkable people surviving against the odds. ◦ The way many African cultures are great at survival in extreme situations but less good at promoting economic growth. ◦ The unseen spiritual issues that are widely known among the people themselves, and widely ignored or ridiculed in the West. ◦ Compelling research showing how responses show more among peoples in West Africa were dependent on when the first missionaries arrived. Always, some pioneering family needs to spend a lifetime serving among a people, often seeing little response to their message. The mass turning to Christ often happens among the next generation. show lessTags
