Dear Prayer Partners,

In January you were praying for a volunteer team from Arkansas ministering

in Burkina Faso. The team was led by Larry and Edwina Rowell. Here is an

update of what God did!

The volunteers trained 11 pastors and 50 laymen in a conference entitled

Stewardship and the Christian.

They taught several sessions on worship in the International Church of

Ouagadougou (Baptist).

Seventy Burkinagbe (bur-keen-ah-bay) women attended a Bible study in the

village of Godyr (go-deer).

English as a Second Language principles were taught to three Baptist

university students. These will be using English lessons as an opening to

sharing the Gospel.

For the past two years during the volunteer team visit they have prayer

walked through a Fulani village. Now there are 20 believers! The village

elders are allowing the children and young people of the village the

freedom

to choose between Islam and Christianity!

The team worshiped in a Burkinagbe Baptist church that is sending out their

own missionaries to evangelize remote villages!

In one region a 55 year old widow is leading others to plant Baptist

churches in the bush!

The team was present while a Baptist church fed 150 children lunch, an act

of love they perform daily, to win the opportunity tell the children about

Jesus Christ. Some have already responded!

One courageous volunteer ate a succulent mixture of cow brains and potatoes

in tomato sauce!

God works when you pray!

Love in Christ,

Barbara and Jeff
