Benin is a French-speaking country located in West Africa between Togo and Nigeria. Though almost 40% of the population is Christian, Benin is extremely influenced by animistic and traditional African religions. They are steeped in syncretism: combining Catholicism with traditional African beliefs and Voodoo. Currently, there is a shortage of trained pastors and leaders to serve the growing Christian population. We are fortunate to collaborate with Rev. Christophe Tiefoue, who works in the capital city of Cotounou.
