BRIEF HISTORY
"Pioneers-Africa is a dream from God
Himself.! It is
like a volcano begging to explode!!"......... Solomon
Aryeetey (Founder and Director) .
PIONEERS-AFRICA
started in a small village called
Macina in Mali. Macina at the time had a very large
population of Fulanis who were nomads and
categorized as very un reached. They were also very poor with
severe health problems.
This was the village that became the home
of
Dr .Solomon Aryeetey (MD) and his wife Letitia
(an attorney) having been deployed by Pioneers USA.
They gave up their professions to live
amongst and
witness to these Fulanis. God gave them grace to
adapt to the life style, proclaim the gospel with
boldness, persuading the people to accept Jesus as
their Savior and Lord.
Their sacrifices and efforts were greatly rewarded and
the seed of the gospel yielded much fruit. From
Macina and the surrounding villages, Fulanis and
other tribes men and women came to receive the Lord Jesus and
were discipled. Some of these disciples have currently taken
over the mantle of leadership in Mali.Ater 8 years of service,they
they moved to Ghana with the vision to establish an office to
help
spread the gospel further.
THE
VISION

God amongst the
unreached people groups by initiating church planting
movements in partnership with the local church.

souls and provided drinking water for several villages. The organization
