Hello praying
friends! The annual Burkina Faso
Baptist women’s conference is just around the corner and the excitement is
building. Remember our theme? Women on Mission: The Role of Women in the Advancement of
God’s Kingdom. The women arrive on
Monday from all corners of the country for a week of learning together, praying
together, playing together, dancing together, and challenging one another to be
WOMEN ON MISSION WITH GOD. With
the generosity of WMU, we will have some ladies who will be with us for their
very first annual camp.
As we gather, we
are partnering with the women from my home church in Kilbourne, Louisiana. These women, accompanied by some of the
men from the church, have already been on mission -- reaching out to the
uttermost parts of the earth. They
have been busily sewing children’s clothes – dresses for girls and shorts for
boys – which we will distribute to our young widows with children and to the
children of Bible school students who are training to be pastors. They’ve made quite
a few, so what is left will go to a local orphanage that is run by an American
missionary friend.
To all ladies, I
wish that you could be here with us during this incredible week! You wouldn’t even be bothered by
sleeping on the floor, using a squatty potty, or temperatures of 105
degrees. We are going to have the
time of our lives! Stay tuned for
an update at the end of the week and the opportunity to give praise to the Most
High God for what He will have done.
Thank you so
much for praying with us for this all important time. Please lift up to the Father:
- Inspired teaching times focused on the challenge of missions and the call to obedience to the Great Commission for every single woman present. Pray for clarity in the translation process as women who attend will speak at least 5 different languages.
- Unity and organization for the leadership team and the host association of churches.
- Safety in travel – some women will travel two full days by bus to arrive at the conference.
