Led by the church, designed by the best.

In partnership with Engineering Ministries International, we’re building a safe home for girls. 

A home that makes Heaven feel near. 

You can help unlock access to gospel-centered discipleship, education, food security, and a loving community.

Built in partnership with:

Human-centered design

By partnering with Engineering Ministries International, we’re able to bring a custom and sustainable design to the Senegalese girls that meets their needs and honors their culture. The highest quality construction ensures Teranga Village is designed to last — so girls can thrive for generations to come.

“In every layer and threshold of the site and buildings, this idea of Teranga has been at the forefront. Here the girls get to experience that and step into a new story with Him — God’s story. Connected to Him, connected to people and connected to His creation.”

  • How to Build a Village: A step-by-step guide

    One of the most profound things that Jesus ever said about his Kingdom is who it belongs to: children. In Jesus’ day, this was upside down. Children held the lowest status in society. But we know God’s Kingdom is about making all things rightside up.

    We believe Teranga Village is a way to play our part in making all things new.

    So, let’s get started >

  • 1. See where God is working

    God is working in ten thousand ways around us. Building a village starts with us acknowledging God is inviting us to join Him rather than starting from scratch on our own. Jesus called followers before founders.

  • 2. Take the next step in obedience

    It can be overwhelming when we see the Kingdom-sized vision God is inviting us to join. But God doesn’t expect or want us to fulfill the big vision in a day, month, or our timeline. He tells long stories. Because He cares about our transformation along the journey.

  • 3. Lead with the church, design with the best

    God never calls us to carry out a Kingdom-sized vision by ourselves. His desire is for the Church to work together to bring his Kingdom in the here and now. This requires that we build with community and quality to reflect God’s image.

  • 4. Remember the who behind the what

    Once we gain traction, it’s tempting to lose sight of why we started to build in the first place. It’s important to remind ourselves daily of the people we’re committed to and the fact that we’re following God in the work He’s started and will continue.

  • 5. Create generational change that reaches into eternity.

    Kingdom work is ongoing. When we partner with God and His Church, the impact stretches beyond our lifetime and into eternity.
