Why Niger Needs Hope

One of the poorest countries in the world, the average individual in Niger makes less than $400 per year. The region is heavily Islamic, and a mere 0.3% of the population are Christians. The vast majority of people in Niger are Muslim. Christians number fewer than 100,000 people. 

We work with Nigerien leaders to produce Christian media in eight languages, broadcast on local FM radio and distributed on SD cards that can be listened to on mobile phones. The follow-up leaders gather new believers and seekers into small groups and establish churches as the groups grow. Niger is one of the least reached countries in the world, and yet we are seeing amazing stories of salvation.

Christ Alone

A year ago, a resident in Niger informed Words of Hope’s Hausa language producer that he was suspicious of our Christian programming.
