RIDGE MISSIONS
Love Goes Ministries
Our ministry exists to serve and restore the street boys of Senegal by addressing both their immediate needs and their long-term futures. In a country where a deeply broken system often exploits vulnerable and homeless children, we stand in the gap to fight oppression with compassion, dignity, and hope. At our Love Goes base camp, boys have access to essential health and hygiene resources—including showers, toilets, clean water, and wound care—so they can experience safety, cleanliness, and restored self-worth. We provide consistent meals through free breakfast and lunch, offering peace of mind to children who otherwise live each day unsure of when they will eat again. Education is central to our mission, as we believe early learning is key to breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering boys to build better futures. For older boys, we offer vocational training through woodworking, equipping them with practical skills in craftsmanship, project management, finances, and marketing to create sustainable livelihoods. Through weekly soccer gatherings, the boys experience joy, community, and structure, while also receiving nourishment, hygiene care, and Gospel teaching. Above all, everything we do is rooted in sharing the hope of the Gospel—bringing light to the hopeless, purpose to the forgotten, and a future grounded in faith, dignity, and lasting transformation.
