SENEGAL: Since the first Witness of Jehovah arrived in Senegal in 1951, much effort has been put forth to reach the millions of people living in this branch territory. There have been 194 missionaries from 18 lands who have served here. Hundreds have been assisted by them to join in serving Jehovah in this territory, where over 90 percent of the population is non-Christian.

Construction of the new branch at Cape Almadies, on the outskirts of Dakar, involved methods new to most people in that area. As a crane lifted into place each large prefabricated panel, observers applauded and cheered. Everything was square, straight, and just so. At the conclusion of the dedication program there on the westernmost tip of the African continent, on June 19, 1999, all in attendance joined heartily in singing “We Thank You, Jehovah”!
