Dedication Services
October 28,
2006
|
|
Our sending pastor, John
Tucker, along with seven other members of our sending church,
Northeast Baptist Church, came to Burkina Faso to begin the
process of establishing the Fundamental Baptist Church of
Boulwando as an autonomous independent, Baptist church.
Pastor Tucker preached for this dedication recognizing
Northeast’s responsibility in starting other churches of like
faith and encouraging this new church to realize their
responsibility in starting other churches of like faith.

We had a great attendance,
with the church building full and an overflow crowd
outside the doors and windows.
As is the custom here, most of the old men of the
village wanted to show their support by being
“present” outside of our services. Animism hinders
most of them from entering into our church services.

We attempted to include as many of our Institute students, and
other missionaries in the services.
