The earliest missionary efforts among the Kpelle and Mano ethnic groups demonized their cultural practices to the extent that they find less familiar categories in practicing their Christian faith. This project examined the initiation tradition of the two tribes to identify elements that the church could use to make the Christian faith more meaningful to them. The author used seminars and multiple intervention tools with selected members of the tribes. His conclusion is that since Africans first encountered God in their culture, allowing them to use elements of their culture in their Christian faith will make their faith more meaningful.
