Love Goes Ministries

Stefan and Shawntel moved to Senegal, West Africa in January of 2021 site unseen! They landed unaware of language, culture, or the fact that they were pregnant with baby number 3 at the moment. They immediately got plugged into full-time language study and were impacted greatly by the street boys that lived on the streets and the lack of interaction that local Senegalese and other missionaries had with them. 

They got plugged into a local church, met their local partner Leopold, and started getting to work. They officially opened their center for Street Boys were they focus on education, hygiene, Gospel Messages, and soccer (football) to impact enduring change in the lives of the street boys in Senegal. 

Love Goes Ministries has been serving the street boys since March of 2023. The Wehmeyer have also identified a need for schools in the villages since the schools in the villages are not up to par and leaves many students either with no education or having to walk several kilometers, barefoot, in order for a simple education. Check out our "upcoming projects" for more information on how Love Goes plans to start a local school in Senegal.
