Engage West Africa (EWA) is a WAMO-led mobilization initiative designed to partner with churches across the region to raise, equip, and send qualified missionaries into communities where Christ is least known. Designed by and for the African church, this project addresses three critical gaps: the need for clear orientation on what it means to be a missionary, a deeper understanding of the role of churches and individuals in God\u2019s mission, and the identification and equipping of cross-cultural workers. Targeting high school graduates, pastors, students, and skilled professionals, EWA offers both group and personalized training sessions, developed and delivered by seasoned SIM missionaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launched in 2024, the project\u2019s two-year pilot phase in Nigeria already shows significant impact. Twelve individuals are currently at various stages of deployment to mission fields by WAMO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
