Recent Update: [May 1, 2009] The believers in Fourou have done at least 3 evangelistic outreaches (i.e., showing the Jesus film), as well as made a number of trips there to answer questions, etc. about Christ and the Christian life. You have prayed for this village and the Lord has been blessing. Mamadou says that there are 10 believers there now. A few years ago there were none. Mamadou would like to see a church planted there, but for this they need some trained leaders in this village and this is his prayer request. They, the leaders in the Fourou church, are planning on going to Lollé tomorrow to start training some of the believers (especially the men) in Lollé what it means to be a Christian, how to live the Christian life and how to respond to people's question about Christ and the Christian life. They are looking to make this a weekly training session… . It is great to see the church in Fourou take the initiative in this undertaking. We have encouraged them in this area and now it is gratifying to see them exploring new ways of expanding the church in Fourou and out in the villages. Thanks for praying.
