We traveled to Burkina Faso nearly one week ago to attend meetings with
association and Baptist convention leaders--to get to know them so that we
can inspire them, train them and aid them in reaching the unreached in their
countries!

We just returned from our trip to Bobo, here in Burkina, over the weekend.
If you look at a map of Burkina you could find it (it is the second largest
city in Burkina) in the Southwest. It was very cool--lots of rain. It was
about 4 hours from Ouagadougou. There is an ancient mosque there and some
people who live on top of high granite hills that we visited. The ascent to
the village was very steep, very rocky and quite dangerous, actually, but
fascinating. Kari decided that she would like to live there as a
missionary. Jeff taught on Saturday afternoon to a group of men/women from
local association of Baptist Churches; preached Sunday am., and spoke again
that afternoon to the association (about 50 present). We stayed in a
Christian Missionary Alliance Guest house and the CMA couple next door were
great--homeschooling 5 kids! They had 10th grade twin boys that Kari hit it
off with really well. She stayed with that family as much as she could!
She and the boys have had the same teachers with the ABEKA videos and they
had a blast talking about their teachers...

At one of the meetings we were asked how we've worked in Benin among the
Voodoo people to share Christ with them! What a great question--and
exciting to answer. I was able to share for a few minutes about the prayer
effort and evangelism effort by our women in Benin to touch a village for
Christ! What an encouraging word that was to the Burkina Baptist Women
leaders present!

Continue to pray that God will cast a mighty vision into the hearts of the
associations and conventions of Burkina Faso, Benin, Togo and Cote d'Ivoire
that they might see the awesome need of everyone in their countries to come
to Christ and to realize they can step out and share Christ with what God
has already given them.

Love,

Barbara, Jeff and Kari
