Fulani Christian Convention

Tonight was the start of the conference for Fulani believers of Oudalan, our province, in the north-east of Burkina Faso. We finish on the morning of Wed 17th. Please pray for this, the first such gathering we have ever had in the province.

When I first started working among the Fulani, there were conferences for Fulani believers from all over Burkina Faso. We used to get about 20 Fulani, but in those days there were no local believers in Oudalan. Today we had about 25 Christians from Oudalan, mostly Fulani, but also a few Songhai and a Tamacheq lady. A number of others, whom we hoped would be here, have not come.

Two men, who have both expressed interest for some time, stood to make a public commitment to Christ tonight. One of these men has had dreams where Jesus comes and tells him that he, Jesus, is the Saviour. Please pray for these men to follow up this commitment and to know the life-transforming power of Christ in their lives.

Please pray for the conference, for God’s presence to be real amongst us, for the Fulani Christians to grow in Christ, and for Pierre, Jodoma, Seydou, Jean, and myself as we lead and teach over the coming three days.

Thank you.
