Heading north
Unfortunately I haven't been able to get use of a vehicle, so will be heading north to Dori on the bus tomorrow.
In Dori I will be meeting on Friday with some local pastors to talk about how we can work together over the coming years. These are wonderful men of God who are key for the work in this region. Please pray for these discussions that God leads us by his Spirit.
Afterwards, I hope to continue to Gorom-Gorom, then to Markoye, and hopefully Djibo - though this last is now looking unlikely without transport. This is quite frustrating, but I trust God will help me see all those I need to. I will definitely catch up with Steve in Ouaga if not before.
It has been hot and humid today, and the skies have just opened up wit a good rain here in Ouaga, preceded by a strong dusty wind and a short powercut.
However, I spoke to Steve on the phone yesterday, and he said Djibo has a real problem with lack of water - please pray for rain there. He and Cristiano and Irenaldo are enjoying the world cup and hoping for an England-Brazil final!
Thanks for your prayers and encouragements. More soon.

Say hi to Steve when you see him, and tell him the Smileys are praying for rain--both physical and spiritual :-)
Praying especially for your time there, for divine connections in each place you go.
Peace and grace, brother,
Wendy (Smiley--a WH'er in California!)

As I write this, it is currently hammering down with rain outside. The first of the season! Thanks for your prayers.
