Snapshots

Life has been busy here in Gorom-Gorom. I've not managed to get online all week till now. Yesterday's post was dictated to Steve on his laptop, which he then uploaded for me. A few snapshots from the last few days -

* Relaxing with Yusufi and his family on the sand dune, and sharing Christ with his Fulani neighbours. All my cows are doing well, and I have two new additions.

* Talking with J&S about their new association to help orphans

* Being constantly greeted by children by my Fulani name as I walk along the road: "foofo Diallo Adama!" - and having no idea whose children they are

* Being thanked by everyone for the grain that was sent and distributed. Apparently even the Imam was in the queue to get some

* Suddenly realising I had no idea where my return ticket was, and silently panicking until i found it again

* Being asked several times if I am merried yet, and when the answer comes in the negative being offered various daughters and sisters

* Talking with pastors and Christians about vision for the work here, and sensing that God is at work and speaking

* Seeing seriously ill children whose parents don't have the means to take them to the hospital

* Sweating constatnly in the heat!

On Tuesday we leave Gorom to head to Ouagadougou again. More soon...

Lovely pictures in words Keith, having been in Niger, I can almost feel the heat and smell the smells! I remember that greeting Foofo too! May the Lord richly bless you and his work that he's doing through you.

Great to hear GOD has been speaking - what did you expect as we were praying for it to happen? Will be good to see you back in the UK soon - but enjoy the rest of your time back home

Hi Keith,

It's been awhile since I've been over here to checkout your posts. It's great to see that both you and Steve are still going strong. There was an article at The Globalist published Feb. 27th titled "Moving into Burkino Faso" by Nathalie Boittin. I thought you guys might enjoy it if you haven't read it already.
