Church-planting experience and Q&A (West Africa context)

Sometimes the most valuable learning doesn't come from another textbook—it comes from honest conversations with someone who's been there.

Having spent many years serving in church planting and leadership development across Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, and other parts of West Africa, I'd be happy to share the joys, challenges, surprises, and lessons I've learned along the way.

This isn't a formal lecture. Think of it more as sitting down over coffee and asking all the questions you've always wanted to ask about ministry in West Africa.

Whether you're preparing for the mission field, leading a church planting team, studying at Bible college, or simply curious about ministry in this part of the world, you're welcome to ask anything.

Topics can include:

What is church planting really like in West Africa?

Lessons I wish I'd known earlier

Working with local churches and leaders

Cross-cultural challenges (and funny stories!)

Ministry in Muslim and traditional religious communities

Common mistakes to avoid

Encouraging stories of God's work

Practical advice for new workers

Anything else you'd like to ask!

No question is too simple, too practical, or too unusual. Every conversation is different, and I'm happy to tailor the session to your interests.

Sessions are available in English or French.

Feel free to contact me before booking so we can chat about what you'd like to discuss. If finances are an obstacle, please don't let that stop you from getting in touch. Where possible, I'm happy to offer these conversations free of charge, especially for gospel workers and ministries with limited resources.
