Jonas Kinda

Project Javelin, World Horizons

Jonas Kinda is a church planter in Burkina Faso. His church was planted in 2008 in the outskirts of Ouagadougou; it now has over 500 weekly attendees and has expanded to include a daycare. 

As a missionary with World Horizons, Jonas also trains new national pastors and evangelists, recruiting workers for the unreached peoples of Burkina Faso and West Africa. He leads monthly, week-long “Project Javelin” trips into the most unreached areas of Burkina Faso and occasionally neighboring countries. A typical week’s outreach includes working closely with local pastors in door-to-door and marketplace evangelism, teaching and encouragement for local believers, and evangelistic events which often draw several hundred people. They try to work closely with any local pastors and usually visit three villages and a main town. Every year, by God’s grace, Project Javelin is helping to strengthen existing churches and see several new churches planted.
