Prayer Letter - June-July 2009




Dear Pastor and Friends,

          Things continue to progress rapidly here in Burkina Faso. It is amazing how much Burkina, and especially our capital city, Ouagadougou, has grown in the past few years. (We have a bowling alley, an indoor mall, and thousands of new people from all over West Africa.)
          Our country is in the midst of a monumental transformation that has a potential to propel us towards a Biblical viewpoint of life or towards one of the many other competing worldviews vying for the attitudes, the affections and the actions of a people in desperate need of THE truth of the gospel.
          We cannot reiterate enough how much we truly appreciate your partnership with us; without which we could not be here. Thank you so much for your faithful and consistent support!

Below are a few highlights from the ministries in the last few months:

Fundamental Baptist Church of Dassasgo

          We’re in the midst of a “Sunday School Campaign.” Several of the Institute men are preaching each week and are doing a great job. More and more Christians are taking an active interest in inviting their family and friends, with several professing faith in Jesus Christ, and in memorizing Scriptures each week.

Fundamental Baptist Church of Tanghin

         Before the planting season started we visited regularly in Tanghin with over fifty-four professions of faith. Denis DIPAMA has started a discipleship program and has been in the process of translating it into Mooré He is also preparing his first sermon to preach in a few more weeks.

Fundamental Baptist Institute of Ouagadougou

          The Institute is on summer break. Courses, teachers, and students are preparing for the seventh year which will commence in September. We are aggressively seeking a permanent home for the Institute and hope to have some land purchased before the start of the semester.

Fundamental Baptist Church of Boulwando

          Even though this church is Independent, we wanted to stress that it continues to move forward under the direction of Pastor Dominike..

In Christ,
