Africa
Avant has a rich history of work in Africa. In 1890, while the mission was still forming, nine missionaries were sent to Sierra Leone, but only four survived. The work in Africa continued with missionaries sent to North Africa in 1894, and Mali in 1919. Avant was the first evangelical Christian mission to enter the Republic of Mali.
Today, the work continues with ministry across the African continent, including opportunities in church planting, theological education, MK education, teaching English as a second language, audio Bibles, farming God's way, and more.
Avant ministries in Africa* include:
- Angola
- Senegal
- Tanzania
- Kenya
