Abstract

The author provides an overview of the history and the core values of two Lutheran (ALC/ELCA) mission endeavors among Muslims in the African Sahel: the Eglise Evangélique Luthérienne du Sénégal and the Joint Christian Ministry in West Africa, both oriented toward the Fulbe people. Rooted in a theology of the cross, and nourished by a post modern setting, both endeavors at Christian witness among Muslims gave fruit to a dialogue of life and action. As a catalyst for personal transformation for those involved, these initiatives offer a paradigm for all who are engaged in interfaith dialogue.
