The above report is made possible by a united sacrificial team here and abroad. Only in the unity of us all can the above be a reality and even increase. We have spread across Liberia and are in the neighboring countries where we evangelize, disciple and church plant. 

“For this is what the Lord has commanded us: I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.” Acts 13:47

The command and mission of our Lord’s church is to bring the Light of Salvation, Jesus Christ, to the ends of the earth, through evangelism, discipleship, church planting. Our passion is to train and send indigenous missionary teams, to the unreached tribes of West Africa, to evangelize, disciple and start churches. We also seek after the lost in remote hard to reach towns and villages of the reached tribes. If churches exist, we will train and strengthen them. If churches do not exist, we will train leaders from within the community to start a church.  We have become an indigenous missionary training and sending hub, and a missionary training boot camp for those of other nations who feel called to become missionaries.

Wordsower Africa in Sierra Leone:

Our Sierra Leone indigenous missionary team is ministering within the Tenme-Banta tribe. This tribe is a resistant Muslim tribe that had no known evangelical Christians. When we first entered their towns and villages, we are not welcome and told to leave… but every locked door has a key. They have never seen a big screen movie, nor any movie in their own language. The opportunity for such an epic event is always allowed and is never refused, the door is opened. 


After the show there are always new converts. These converts are given a Bible study program:
Soon after they are baptized:


Then they gather for additional Bible teaching:


And form into a church that meets under the trees:


Or in old abandoned dilapidated buildings:


Last week our Sierra Leone missionary team contacted me and said that they needed a church building. The rainy season was coming and they needed a place to meet inside. They needed $650 to construct their building. I only spoke to our Lord about the need. 3 days later, I received a phone call from a man who had felt compelled by our Lord to ask about our needs. Prayer answered!!! The money has been sent!! The building has been started and will be completed before the rains hit!

Wordsower Africa in Liberia: 

Liberia, Zwedru, is our main base for Wordsower Africa. This base is the father and the feeder of the work in West Africa. From this base, we have trained and sent out indigenous missionary teams into all 6 unreached tribes of Liberia.

Wordsower Africa in Ivory Coast:  

Ivory Coast has 36 unreached tribes of over 7 million people. The team is training and sending disciples into several of these tribes.

Wordsower Africa in Guinea:  

Our team to Guinea is 100% funded for the next two years. We are now preparing the team to be sent. They have gone into Guinea on several missions spying out the land. By the first of 2022, we expect to have the team placed and in full operation.  

According to the Joshua Project (joshuproject.net) the countries of West Africa have 393 unreached tribes of 147 million people.  Our Lord has commanded His Church, us, to go, to present Him and His salvation to every tribe, every people and every nation. We continue to train, fruitful, proven disciples to be sent, to go, into these unreached tribes. 

Participate with us in praise and prayer:

  • Pray: For our indigenous missionary teams, that they will continue to fearlessly, boldly and sacrificially advance the gospel into the unreached tribes.
  • Pray: For our new indigenous missionary team to Guinea. They are going to 2 unreached, Christian-less tribes. Pray that our Lord will reveal where they shall establish their base.
  • Pray: For us we march into and live within the strongholds of Satan to, “snatch others from the fire and save them.” Jude 1:23.
  • Pray: “Finally, our friends, pray for us that the Lord's message may continue to spread rapidly and be received with honor, just as it was among you. Pray also that God will rescue us from wicked and evil people; for not everyone believes the message.” 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2.
