Dear Pastor Rhys,
The 2011 Burkina Faso Mission Team is safely home after spending about 26 hours on a plane!
We were all touched by God's goodness, mercy and faithfulness on our trip.
We saw 75 children make decisions for the Lord, 12 adults make decisions, which included 1 man who attended a women's time of prayer and encouragement! Wow, how great is our God!
The leader in the village of Tenjero, Arman, has a 2 week old baby girl. Her name in Dagara is No Fa, which means love. She was very sick the day we went to that village, very weak and not eating or sleeping. We laid hands on her and prayed for her. Two days later, Arman came to Lynn's house with great news that No Fa had been healed. He said she was not the same and she was now eating and sleeping well. How wonderful is that?!!
We taught approximately 500 children. We taught, prayed with and encouraged approximately 800 women and preached on Sunday to approximately 200 in the New Hope village of Naro.
We rode 1500-1800 rough miles in a 4 wheel drive truck. Many bush villages taking an hour to an hour and a half to get to.
In 2 villages, we painted murals on the walls of the children's building with John 3:16 in French and a Cross and a world.
Thank you for the opportunity to go on mission and thank you and New Hope for their prayers and support.
Please continue to pray for Lynn and Shattering Darkness and the way God is touching West Africa in His Name.
God bless you,
Connie, Karen and Linda
ICor. 15:58
