Easter Service - March 27, 2005

This Easter Sunday we had a great resurrection celebration in our Dassasgo mission work.  We also had several firsts today.  Abdoulaye ZÉBRÉ, a recent convert, assisted in his first services by doing the Scripture reading.  Several of our children were participating in our first faithfulness program where if they would remain faithful for eight weeks they would receive a Bible.  Seven of our children were the first to complete their final week this Sunday and will be receiving a Bible.

After the service our Sunday School children, along with the adults, came to our house for another grand feast.  There several of the children participated in their first ever Easter egg hunt.  Several of the adults also participated in some American games for the first time as our children taught them Uno.

Adjaratou brought her four sisters to the services.  After the services her sister, Bibiata, a young fifteen year old who does not speak French well, received Christ as her Savior.  Praise the Lord!  Here are a few pictures of our Easter celebration.  Click any photo for a closer look.
