Cold water from Burkina Faso
Some quick updates of good news:
Food Aid: I spoke to the pastor's son in Gorom-Gorom today - the pastor is away for a few days. The food aid we sent has been distributed, and all went well. He will forward photos and a report asap.
Harvest: The rains have continued well, and the harvest will soon be ready. No locusts this year!
Radio station: Things are progressing slowly, but there are promising signs that things are coming together for us to buy land for the radio station.
Steve: My colleague Steve now has two Brazilian co-workers with him, whom he is now introducing to the delights of Djibo. Welcome, Christiano and Irenaldo!
Gorom-Gorom: I spoke to a friend in Burkina today who gave me an encouraging report on the progress of some of the Fulani Christians from the Gorom-Gorom area. It seems they are persevering and growing in faith.
All this is greatly encouraging for me. It is not easy to be so far away when times are hard and there is little news. Thank God for good news!
Like cold water to a weary soul
is good news from a distant land.
(Prov 25:25)
