Since 1998, Nigeria has been a hub for DAI ministry in Western Africa. Lead by Reuben Ezemadu, DAI Nigeria mobilizes missions by educating, consulting, and mentoring local leaders. Through these efforts made with locally developed curriculum, local leaders are changing the way their communities work and live.
A country frayed after years of war and poverty, Nigeria is truly a land in need of Christ. But in a culture were leadership is equated to power and corruption, the church faces significant challenges. Answering the call, DAI Nigeria works to train indigenous leaders in counter-cultural servant leadership.
