The first Mennonite workers were sent to Senegal in 1996 as part of a partnership between Mennonite Mission Network, Africa Inter-Mennonite Mission, and Friends of the Wolof.  The team encouraged the growth of the church in Senegal through discipleship ministries.  These ministries have taken various forms, including telling the biblical story in simple terms to small groups in villages, initiatives in small enterprise development, initiatives focused on women, and other initiatives focused on health-related ministry.  

Four MMN workers presently serve through discipleship ministry, health ministry, capacity building, networking, and logistical support.  These ministries are in partnership with Mission Inter Senegal and Pioneers International.
