NEW
OPPORTUNITIES – NEW NEEDS
We are continually
seeing the blessings of God upon the ministries here. He
continues to open doors of opportunity for new works; such
as in Tanghin. (Please see our Petits Annonces Page for the
news on Tanghin.) With the increase of our ministry team, we
have the potential preachers for commencing with these new
opportunities, but lack some of the resources for moving
forward. One such resource is for transportation for these
young preachers to travel to these mission works.
(Earlier we asked for a special for our transportation needs
and God met the need quickly. The work in Boulwando
increased greatly, and as a result, another opportunity is
opening up in Tanghin. We cannot relate to you how
necessary, and beneficial, these mobylettes are. We have
experienced their usage in ministry first hand, and are
convinced of their effectiveness in our ministries here.)
With these thoughts in mind, we are seeking funds for three
more mobylettes. The cost for one mobylette would be about
$600.00. Would you be willing to purchase, or help purchase,
one mobylette for the ministry here?
Please pray for this need of ours. If you are able to help,
please send the funds to our mission’s office labeled
“Transportation Needs.”
Some needs have been met.
We want to say “Thank you” for your
prayers for this need, and a very special “Thank you” to
the Springfield, Missouri couple who provided this need
(pictured below). This means of transportation, which is
“normal” in Burkina, is a tremendous blessing to our young
preachers who have to travel to our village work. It has
greatly enhanced their ministry opportunities as the time it now
takes to travel back and forth between Ouagadouguou and
Boulwando has been drastically reduced. It is encouraging
to have them leave Sunday morning and report back two hours
after services that same day. We can see that their
excitement of what God had done during that morning services has
not worn off. Their enthusiasm is contagious!

Original notice
of the need
With the commencement of two
different mission churches, the desire to start more mission churches,
and the multitude of opportunities, it is impossible to be in all places
at all times.
As these young preachers grow and take on more responsibilities by
preaching at these different ministries, they are in need of
transportation.
Public transportation is available, but not on a daily basis. Sometimes
it takes two full days to
 travel back and forth between villages. For an
investment of $1,200 to $1,500 a mopelytte can be purchased and the time
cut to just a few hours.
Would you be willing to help out with the transportation costs?
