About | Samaritan Strategy West Africa

Samaritan Strategy West Africa

Since the foundational Vision Conference in Ghana in 1999, Samaritan Strategy West Africa (SSWA) has equipped local churches to bring wholistic transformation to communities across the region.

We partner with the Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA) and the Harvest Foundation to train pastors and lay leaders in biblical worldview, wholistic ministry principles, and community restoration through self-sustaining Seed Projects.

Headquartered in Accra, Ghana, SSWA serves as the regional hub for West Africa—including Togo, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Benin, Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Guinea, and beyond. Our vision is to see the church move beyond being a "walled-in" institution to becoming God's primary instrument for redeeming and transforming every sphere of society.

Feel the Faith

In the raw trenches of a broken world, the Samaritan Strategy rises not as theory, but as heartbeat. It refuses tidy charity from afar; instead, it kneels in the dust beside the wounded, binds real wounds with real hands, and risks reputation to love without borders. This is faith with skin on—fierce, costly, unapologetic. It doesn’t wait for permission or perfect conditions. It moves. It touches. It stays. And in every act of courageous nearness, the watching world finally feels what faith actually is: relentless, incarnational love that refuses to pass by on the other side.
