L’Église Baptiste Fondamentale à Dassasgo



 


Spring 2004

Fundamental Baptist Church of Dassasgo, a neighborhood of Ouagadougou, was started on March 14, 2004, with 12 people in attendance.  This is the only independent, fundamental, Baptist church in the capital city of Ouagadougou, a city of two million people. Click any photo for a closer look.
