Under the Acacias - a blog about the Fulani of Burkina Faso: Please pray

November 08, 2008

Following my arrival in Burkina, I have become aware of a few situations needing prayer. Could you bring these before the Lord, please? Thanks

Illness. Two of my friends are quite ill at the moment: Emma, who helps me with some admin stuff in Ouaga, has typhoid and malaria - the same that Steve had recently (he is doing much better now)
Sara, Seydou's daughter. I have just heard this morning that she has been taken out of school for medical tests. I am not sure what the problem is.

Well-drilling.:Starts this week: read more.

Truck breakdown. I just found out that the truck that should have taken the spare parts up a couple of weeks ago has broken down and is still stuck in Ouaga. We are trying to find another truck this morning.
Financing. We thank God that we have received about £19,000 so far, but we still need about another £5,000 to cover all the costs.
Teams. The first team arrives tomorrow - Billy and Patrick from Hatteras Island.

My bag. Still hasn't turned up yet.There are all kinds of things in there that I really need.
