The church in Cape Verde

The church is a large part of life in Cape Verde. The largest tradition is Roman Catholic. Across West Africa, as across the whole earth, the church is not one culture or one language but one family with one Lord. In Cape Verde, believers gather to hear the Scriptures, to pray, to break bread, and to love their neighbours, joining the worship that rises from every nation.

How to come to know Jesus

Faith is not a nationality or a family inheritance you are locked into or out of. It begins wherever one person turns to Christ and asks. Whoever you are in Cape Verde, you can start today: read his own words in the Gospel of John, and talk to God honestly in your own language, telling him you want to know him. He is not far from any one of us.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16
