Benin Republic is a small country located in West Africa, bordering Togo to the west, Niger and Burkina Faso to the north, and Nigeria to the east. With population of approximately 14 million people, Benin is a predominantly agriculture-dependent country. As popularly known, the country is the birthplace of voodoo (an African polytheistic religion of ancestral worship that involves magic and attempts to communicate with spirits and dead people). Voodoo is officially recognized/celebrated in the country and is practiced by about 40% of the population. 31.55% of the people are Christians (Joshua Project) with more than half being Roman Catholic (according to the 2002 census).

There is need for sound teaching and discipleship among the Christians as some practice Christianity alongside their animistic beliefs.

Through the labour of TKP missionaries, many lives have been won, disciples are being raised and churches planted especially in the Northern part of the country where they are based.
