An Encouraging Visit

We had the privilege of having our Missions Director, Dr. Konnerup, here in Burkina for four days. Also, the director of Manna Worldwide, Bro. Bruce O'Neal, accompanied Bro. Konnerup. It was a great visit filled with encouragement and a lot of food (after all, we are Baptist and the one thing we do well is eat).

One of the most profitable aspects of the visit was talking with Bro. Bruce. We are planning on starting a Manna Feeding Center in the future. However, we weren't absolutely positive it would work here in the capital city. Secondly, we still needed to be approved by Manna. After much discussion and many questions, we are going to give it a go after we get our first church somewhat established. We are hoping to start sometime in early 2008. However, this is dependant on many factors. Pray that our first work will be at a stage that this will be possible. Seeing the poverty day in and day out makes us very excited to do something to meet some of the physical needs of these children.
