Women On Mission - November 2026

The Horn of Africa

Pastor Paul Willett will lead our International Mission study on Wednesday, December 2nd, after our Noon luncheon.

Where does the Horn of Africa get its name? It is a rugged peninsula in Northeast Africa that juts into the Arabian Sea like the Horn of a rhinoceros. The area includes Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia.

This area has long been an important crossroads for trade, migration, and the spread of religious and cultural traditions between Africa and Southwest Asia.

Christianity is allowed in parts of the Horn of Africa but is heavily restricted, suppressed, or dangerous in other nations like Eritrea or Somalia. Christians in Somalia live in one of the harshest environments in the world. Join us as we learn about our mission work in this area.
