Update

Hi.

I'm off to Deou in about an hour. Things are going really well here. A few points:

* Yesterday we baptised 7 people in an inter-church service in a local rainy season pool. Those baptised included four Fulani, two Songhai, and a Gourma. It was a time of great joy.

* The two new Fulani believers are making progress with Christ, and have been coming regularly to meet with local Christians. We were preaching this week in the market at Korizena, and found a lot of interest in the gospel.

* I have been to visit the pastors at Markoye and Essakane last week. There is an increasing unity among the churches here, and I believe we are seeing the blessing of that unity. We are planning a number of inter-church activities for the winter including a conference for Fulani believers, a training time for Christians, and a weekend for pastors's wives.

* Please pray for Safi, a lady who has a badly infected foot. We are helping her get treatment, but it seems likely the foot may have to be amputated.

Thanks for your prayers.
