We come from two multicultural countries in West Africa and share a heritage of hospitality and generosity. Talking about the Jesuits in Nigeria and Ghana brings out the hopes and dreams of the sons of Ignatius living and working in these two brother countries. These hopes and dreams include setting foot on the other countries that also constitute the province namely Sierra Leone, Liberia and Gambia. We, Jesuits, are united by a goal to set the world on fire with Christ's love by their zeal for the souls of their brothers and sisters, especially in Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Gambia. In line with Father Ignatius and his companions who sought to bring Christ's message of love, peace, and justice to the world by engaging in various ministries-education, catechesis, and fruitful conversations with the people they encountered- we, the Jesuits in Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Gambia, indigenous and expatriates, seek to achieve the magis in all our endeavours. We desire to effect a positive change in our immediate environment and wherever else their superior sees the greater need and assigns them. They are men for others in that their lives are meant to elevate others to live as people who are created in the image and likeness of our loving God and who are saved by the insurmountable love of Christ expressed in the act of His death and resurrection for all men and women.
