Senegal, West Africa is know for its historic identity of “The Slave Trade” in the late 1750’s. While America was celebrating a 1776 victor for liberty and independence, Senegal was building a slave housing system off shore on Goree Island. Over 12 million Africans were sold into slavery during 300-years of evil in Senegal, and only 5 millions lived to talk about the journey.

In Senegal today 'the chains of yesterday' are back; in a new form a new enslavement to a false and dangerous theology. An impoverished country faces the dominate foe of Islam - an Islamic goal to manipulate, convince and control the Senegalese people with new chains placed around their hearts and souls.

Currently, only 2% of the entire population of Senegal is Christian. In the fishing city of St. Louis, only 250 people can call themselves Christian…yet those who are the "King's Kids" are outspokenly determined to love their neighbors, relate to the hurting and share the Gospel why living inside of this wide majority of Islamic convinced.

Next week I'm starting a campaign to send over 21,000 Bibles to Senegal with The Bible League, and I need you help. You might ask, "Why do they need Bibles", the answers rest with the future of Senegal, and Africa herself. The spread the Gospel to enable growth in the faith while reaching more and more common citizens with the “liberating” love, redemption and life of Jesus Christ.

Senegal is experiencing a “Bible Famine” that will soon be a “Bible Gap”; we need to make sure that their missions doesn’t grow cold due to the lack of Bibles! Would you please help me and contribute today? Just call 1-800-YES-WORD and tell them "Eric Hogue" sent you to this mission. They take care of the rest. Only $4 provides one Bible for a hungry heart inside of Senegal today.

The Senegal People; they believe what they read. They are not skeptics like Americans, or the civilized Western cultures of the world. They read it, they place their faith in it and they believe. Give them a Bible and they read of a God that loves them, they are open immediately. Their future is in the children; Islam is mandating children’s reading habits and language learning. Islamic leaders are forcing the children to read the Koran and to learn ’only’ Arabic - so to control their futures. Slavery in Senegal once again!

While Islam exploit’s the family value of the Senegal people, God’s Word re-enforces God’s truth and the Senegal placement of family, children and heritage. Get Bibles into the hands of churches and children and we can turn this course around for the country that has been abused before by the rest of the world ignoring the evil strong-holds keeping this country in a state of poverty.

Tune in Wednesday and Thursday, September 17th and 18th, as I share a few stories from my 7-day trip inside of Dakar and St. Louis, Senegal located in West Africa...and join me in making a difference for the Gospel, and for the people of Senegal.
