Interested In What A "Typical" Day In Burkina Faso Is Like?

Wow! For those interested in our "typical" day...
Sunday 3 AM,Oct 25, Rev Bill Mitchell, Global Impact Missions Pastor at FBC Orlando arrives in Ouagadougou. We drove straight to our Ministry Center church where Bro Bill brought the message to a packed church of about 300-350 people!
Sunday evening Pastor Bob Stewart, founder of Commission Ministries arrived from 4 weeks of teaching in Ghana to begin a week long Leadership Training Seminar with 76 of our leaders who arrived from all outlying areas Saturday and Sunday.
Monday, Oct 26 Pastor Bob taught and I translated as Patrice and Bro Bill toured half of our churches then picked us up at 5PM.
Tuesday, Oct 27 was pretty much a repeat of the prior day, with our finishing up about 4PM.
Wednesday, Oct 28 Rev Bill Mitchell taught our morning session so our leaders could hear a bit of his heart and passion. We left straight form the Ministry Center from Ouagadougou where he flew out that evening. Pastor Womde from the seminary in Ghana taught the afternoon session and David translated for him.
Wednesday, Oct 28 when we arrived in Ouagadougou, we met Rev Larry McFadden from McFadden Ministries.
Thursday, Oct 29 Bro Bill flew to Rome at 4AM while Rev Larry and I drove to Diebougou at 5AM and continued to the Training Center where he taught all the daily sessions!
Friday, Oct 30 Bro Larry and Bro Bob shared the sessions for the day. We had an evangelistic preaching service Friday evening and had nearly 300-350 once again in the service. Many, many for the first time!
Saturday, Oct 31 we left early for Ouagadougou where Pastors Bobby and Larry continued to Ghana to teach for the week!
Tuesday through Friday from 4-6 our leaders (in 11 groups) went hut to hut to pray for the inhabitants, to witness and to invite them to the Friday evening service. They then rested and ate and began showing the films Jesus and The Solution each evening.
Sunday, Nov 1: 14 PEOPLE REPENTED AND GAVE THEIR LIVES TO CHRIST IN THE MORNING SERVICE AT THE FORMATION CENTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( I just received the phone call!!!!!!!)
Oh! Glorious, Glorious Lord Jesus!!!!
