Living among one of the poorest countries in the world produces a lot of educational difficulties.  It is possible to earn a four year degree at the University of Ouagadougou while never having owned a single textbook during those four years.

          The problem is greatly increased for theological training.  The tools needed for a sound, Biblically based theology degree is sorely lacking and the resources for the national pastors are even more limited.

          It is the goal of the Fundamental Baptist Institute of Ouagadougou to produce sound, fundamental Baptist preachers and missionaries among the Burkinabé.

          We want to develop a viable, vibrant and vital Institute. It will be viable when its students can confront their culture with Biblically based convictions. It will be vibrant when its graduates are able to define and defend their convictions and transmit them to their individual churches.  It will be vital if its graduates can maintain those same Biblically based convictions in the midst of the ecumenical confusion running rampant. AND this cannot become a reality without the necessary tools for the Fundamental Baptist Institute of Ouagadougou.

          For a modest investment of finances the I.B.F.O. can purchase the needed office and school supplies as well as, and more importantly, theological textbooks. Would you be willing to invest in the future of the Burkinabé?
