Keith & Melanie Haensel – Dakar, Senegal

In 2018, after much prayer, Keith and Melanie both heard God’s call for them to begin full time ministry overseas. The preparation process with The Alliance Canada was encouraging, and through that process they began to sense that Niger may be where God was leading them. They served three years in the city of Niamey, mainly with the Fulani people. While on Home Assignment in 2023, the government of Niger was overthrown in a coup, which made it impossible for them to return.

On July 31 of 2024 they travelled back to Africa, but this time to the country of Senegal. Please pray that this transition would go well for their family.
