Garango

We have had our trip to Garango, the town in the heart of Bissa Land, postponed twice, but this week we spent five days there. We mainly spent time resting and encouraging the few Baptist believers there. We stayed with Cesar, the pastor (and whose voice is on the tract and many audios we've been using the past four months) and his wife Awa and little girl Rebeka who are in the picture below. They are great.













I also will ask you all to pray for the family of Bernard, Ishmael, Bukari, and another family. The latter family is one whose father died several years ago. Naana, Silvie, Romeal, Gaspar, Elian, Rochelle, Esther, and three other whose names I can't remember. Romeal and Gaspar are young men. Pray that they would be serious about the Lord and emerge as leaders for their family and in the community as a witness for Christ. Also pray for the girls of the family, especially Silvie. She is the oldest and is very passionate about the Lord. She just made my heart warm. She is strong in that she is well into marrying age, but she refuses to marry anyone who is not a Protestant Christian man. This is a harder thing than it is in our society, and she is remaining faithful, so I just ask that you pray for her joy and sufficiency to be in Christ and for her to remain strong.

There are three small mountains that stand next to Garango, so one morning we climbed the top to enjoy the view around the Sahel. The dust was cleared pretty well that day, so we could see fairly far.
