SHATTERING DARKNESS INC.
FAYETTEVILLE, GA

American missionary, Lynn Kennedy, spent 1995 in France at a French language institute and arrived in Burkina Faso the fall of 1996. As of 1998 she began ministering among the Dagara unreached people group located in SW Burkina and NW Ghana. Shattering Darkness Ministries was officially founded and received IRS 501c3 designation in 2004. Looking at what the faithfulness of our God has wrought, we stand amazed. Twenty of those are being helped financially by American sponsors. A generous gift allows us to feed them a hot meal each noonday. We are thrilled to have fully functioning women’s, youth and children’s ministries in 13 of our 14 locations. Our Lord does not allow us to be stagnant nor satisfied. He continues to open doors and show needs and He provides the resources as prayer partners, financial partners or working hands. On a separate Link you will read about current projects underway including our S.E.E.D project, our Christian Conference Center, our cafeteria and pre-school and office for the Lighthouse. In the early days of ministry, various leaders would come to the missionary’s house, grab a moto and be on their way to seek permission to enter a new village; to teach, preach and evangelize; to do follow-up and to do research in finding new unreached peoples. Today our pastors and church members do this work by foot, bicycle or moto. Refers to our on-the-ground missionary, Lynn Kennedy, and the KEY male and female Dagara leaders who serve together.
