Mission and Vision Statements

Vision
Working together with fellow Christian educators
in West Africa and North America, our vision is to
bring transformation within the education system
in West Africa, one opportunity at a time.

Mission

Education in West Africa can be a very discouraging
picture. Yet despite this, many teachers and schools
are opening their doors for meaningful dialogue
and discussions. As more opportunities arise for
these exchanges, Christians are envisioning how the
Biblical world and life view can make an impact on
the lives and communities in Africa. For six years I
have worked in international and missionary school
settings within Nigeria. God has given me a passion
for the people and culture of this country. In my
own experiences, I have seen God giving His people
a hunger and thirst for what it means to serve Him
with excellence. God is calling me to work with
the people in addressing the opportunities arising
within the national school systems. I am especially
passionate about:
• Working alongside teachers, exploring what it
means to live and teach from a Biblical world
and life view.
• The opportunity to reach beyond one
classroom by working alongside West African
teachers who are hungry to learn and to make
a change within their schools and systems.
This new area of ministry would include the
following opportunities:
• Teacher continuing education
• Curriculum development
• Dialoguing with Christian schools throughout
West Africa
• Mentoring and encouraging administrators and
other key leaders
• Participating in the African and worldwide
discussions of Christian education
• Connecting with churches and schools in North
America to be involved in this movement.
As I look forward, I’m excited and terrified. For me,
it’s the best place to be, having no choice but to rely
on the One who has placed me here to be used by
Him. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is
made perfect in weakness.” As I enter this new phase
of ministry, I invite you to join me in prayer, fellowship,
service and/or financial support. May God bless you
as you consider this opportunity!

I am so excited for you in this new opportunity! I didn't have a clear idea of what your new job entailed... your blog was very informative! I am praying that God will open the right doors, lead you to the right connections, and guide you as you start this new journey! I can't think of a more exciting position for you to be in, or a person better suited to it than you! Love and prayers, Jenni
