Cape Verde was uninhabited until the 15th century, when Portuguese explorers discovered and colonized the islands, establishing the first European settlement in the tropics. Ideally located for the Atlantic slave trade, the islands grew prosperous throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, attracting merchants, privateers, and pirates. The end of slavery in the 19th century led to economic decline and emigration.
Cape Verde gradually recovered as an important commercial center and stopover for shipping routes. Since the early 1990s, Cape Verde has been a stable representative democracy, and remains one of the most developed and democratic countries in Africa. Its population of around 512,000 is mostly of mixed European and sub-Saharan African heritage.
While Cape Verde is a nation of many islands, this journey will be to the main island of Santiago. This island is where the majority of "real life" happens and is not the major tourism destination.
What Will We Do?
This missionary journey will focus on using the model Jesus gave his disciples in Luke 10. Participants will partner with local believers to enter into communities in search for people God is already working on to see disciples made, lives changed, and churches birthed. We will also be working with/alongside US students that are living in Cape Verde as a part of a "gap year" ministry called Global Year. If you allow God to use you, your life will not be the only one changed forever!
