They also operate Thee Garage Sale, a store selling used items to help fund their other programs such as “Cherished Women/Cherished Kids,” and “No Apologies” a special event for teens stressing the truth about sex, love, and life with 1300 youth recently attending.
- Evangelical Church of Niger c/o E.E.R.N.
BP 13 301
Niamey, Niger orseher@gmail.com
Evangelical Church of Niger is engaging in several regions of Niger including Tahoua, Diffa & Dosso. The church’s strategy in the country which has a population that is 99% Muslim, includes sending small teams to villages in order to witness to their faith. Currently, this is done through the Jesus film, medical work and follow-up lessons in discipleship, but other means may be used in the future. Funds are needed to purchase evangelism materials and to support travel expenses of evangelists. We started supporting this ministry in 2008 when PCUSA/Reformed missionary Tom Johnson discontinued his PCUSA affiliation and recommended we transfer our support to the National Church of Niger. We support this church through the PC(USA) Mission Agency.
