Revival is here!

  Land Purchase in the North!

The church in Burkina Faso is aggressively sending the gospel to the north of the country.  We have just purchased our first piece of property in Kaya.  Pastor John Bapste Nabaloum has begun construction of the church. The church is being started in a primarily Muslim area.  We believe that God has given us favor in Kaya as we press into the Islamic communities.  Pastor John Bapste will begin services in the city following his Bible school graduation in April. He is a man of faith and of courage. Please pray for this dear pastor and his family.

Joshua 1:3  Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon, I have given you.  


Bible School Update

Currently we have 15 students enrolled in the GATS bible school program. There are 6 new students this semester including one being from the country of Mali. We are very excited to watch God open the door to this country. 

AIMer Donna Parker packed in our Sheaves For Christ car on our way to church: 

 We are happy to have her here with us helping in children’s ministry for 3 months.  She truly has a love for the children of Burkina Faso. We welcome the help she is bringing to the Sunday School program.

65% of the Burkina population is under the age of 15.

THERE IS A NEED!

Baby's Arm Severely Burned

David is a two year old baby that lives in our neighborhood. Our night guard informed us that the baby had fallen into a boiling pot of liquid and had burns from his fingertips to his elbow. By the time we got to him, he was in shock and unconscious. It appeared as if his fingers had melted together, and most of all his arm muscles were exposed.  We prayed for him and rushed him to the hospital where they cleaned the burn, applied medicine, and kept him under observation for a week. When the bandages were removed, David had full function of his hand without any webbing or scaring.  This has been a great testimony of Gods healing power to our un-churched neighbors.

You Can Help!

For $50 you can feed a family for two months. The months April and May are extremely difficult for some of our village families.  Due to extreme heat and drought conditions, most, if not all crops, were lost. You can help!  $50 will buy one large bag of corn meal.
