Pierre and Asetu

Meet Pierre and Asetu and family. They have been with us in our yard for a few weeks now, and we are really pleased to have them here. Pierre is from the Gourma tribe, and his wife is Mossi, but they both speak good Fulfulde. Pierre is a qualified pastor, and had a church south of here. But his passion is evangelism, and he feels called to work among the Fulani, so moved up to join us in Gorom-Gorom.

Pierre told me recently that several months ago, his daughter Berta had a dream in which she saw that the family were going to move from the village where they were living. “But”, she said, “I will move first, followed by mum, and dad will only come later.” It was several weeks later that their leaders asked them to think about moving to Gorom-Gorom. And it happened exactly as Berta saw it.

We believe that God has brought the family here at this time to join us in his work. Please pray for Pierre and family as they continue to settle in, and as we seek to work together for God's purposes.

Thank you.
