About the Region
The West Africa Region is comprised 15 countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Niger, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Mali, Sierra Leone, and Togo. Nigeria, the largest country geographically, has been divided into two leadership zones.
Currently, we average 50 disciple-makers registering each month across West Africa. Our goal is to reach 100 monthly registrations by the end of 2026.

Wilfrid Yépabo Nouémou
Regional Leader
“Network 20 is a movement that ignites passion for discipleship. For me, it’s a constant reminder of my duty to make disciples. Through its vision, every true Christian can still hear Jesus’ call: “…and you, when you are converted, strengthen your brothers” (Luke 22:32). Many young Africans feel economically inferior and look to the West for a better life. Those who stay often fall into violence, drugs, and immorality. What they truly need is Jesus Christ—the greatest treasure and peace of the nations. For this, we urgently need committed disciples ready to make more disciples. As a regional leader, I deeply pray that thousands of young African men will choose to follow Christ, who breaks all inequalities and makes His followers channels of blessing.”

My Calling to Disciple and Empower Young Men
I am genuinely, incredibly, excited about the opportunity to disciple young men because it represents a chance to make a meaningful impact on their lives. They are the future leaders of families, churches, and communities. Walking with them as they grow in faith and purpose is both humbling and energizing. Seeing lives transformed by Christ…
