The Senufo Senara live in a remote area of Burkina Faso that is difficult, if not impossible, to access during the rainy season from mid-June to September.  There are some churches in a few of the Senara villages, but due to the various denominations represented, the Senara do not seem to have a clear understanding of what it means to follow Christ.  They have expressed confusion over the various 'shades' of Christianity.  An Engaging Church could begin working in some of the villages that are still without a witness, implementing discipleship and leadership training as well as evangelism and church planting.
