Prayer Letter - August-September 2009



 

Institut Baptist Fondamental à Ouagadougou (IBFO)

     On September 7, 2009 the Fundamental Baptist Institute of Ouagadougou started its seventh year with nine students. God has blessed the Institute with quality professors; five missionaries and three national pastors will assume the teaching schedule for this semester. The semester has started well this week with excitement high and expectations even higher!
     One of the new students, a young lady from the Fundamental Baptist Church of Boulwando, Benewinde, came into the Institute on Saturday with much enthusiasm. That very night, her father, the chief of the village of Boulwando, died. She had to return home immediately greatly discouraged. Please pray for her and her family through this difficult time.

Église Baptiste Fondamentale à Dassasgo

     With the anticipated move of the Institute into its own property, we are looking for another place for this church work. Our goal is to stay in the same neighborhood. (After three moves since its inception, it would be great to actually move into a permanent home. Please pray to this end.

Église Baptiste Fondamentale à Tanghin

     For the most part, this church work has been sustained by two IBFO students and one young man, Denis DIPAMA, from the village. They are still meeting in a makeshift "hanger."

Thank you

Dear Pastor and Friends, we count it a real honor to be able to minister here in Burkina Faso. Without your support we could not remain here. Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity.

In Christ,
