6 Degree Initiative: Immeasurably More Campaign

The 6 Degree Initiative is a church planting movement focusing on the unreached people groups just north of the equator in West Africa. They’re asking God for 90,000 disciples from 10 unreached people groups in Togo and Benin. There is remarkable growth happening in this movement and a strategic work to continue to grow leadership for the mission is to be able to have the facilities to host the growing number of teams, interns, and mission residents. There is a guest house being built and Phase 2 of the building is currently underway and will cost $175,000 to complete.
