Fulani Bible School Opens in Burkina Faso!

Above are the staff and students of the first ever Fulani Bible School in Burkina Faso. Many of us have been praying for this for years, and today I was thrilled to be there for the opening service. The "official" opening ceremony will happen later in the year, but this was a small group of about 50 people gathering to worship and pray together.

It is an interdenominational Bible School, called "Ecole Biblique Duroowo Lobbo" (Good Shepherd Bible School), with leadership drawn from three denominations, including Fulani pastors, Gourmantche Christians, and ex-pat missionaries. There are four families enrolled for the first intake, and they will do a three-year course. Please pray for the students and staff, that this time will be fruitful, and that God will use them to further God's kingdom among the Fulani. Thank you.

Below are a couple more photos from the day:
