Cultural integrity

It is clear that there is oppression in the world inflicted by Satan.  This oppression,  authored by Satan, is spiritual, but manifests in the natural through political, economic, social and psychological means.  There is a deep sickness in the soul of the West that asserts its definitions, leaders, methods and culture on others peoples, notwithstanding and, indeed, especially Africans, both on their native continent and throughout the Diaspora.  Sankofa Student Ministries (SSM) has made it our aim to resist foreign and antagonistic meanings ascribed to those of the African genotype.  SSM seeks to reclaim the rich heritage of the African past.

It is the goal of SSM to take the principles of Scripture and apply them to the specific reality of our struggle to attain holistic liberation. Then and only then will students be able to see themselves as they really are, “fearfully and wonderfully made!”  This reality should be affirmed again and again through Scripture while immersed in a worldview that is profoundly African. Upon acquiring this consciousness, students will be equipped to serve God in their own unique way, fulfilling their special purpose in the church and the world.
