How interesting that in the month that the Alliance is featuring our cultural diversity, that one of our black missionaries would be honored here in Burkina Faso. Neysa Costa was instrumental in the growth of this church, first in the construction of a Sunday School building which now has over 200 children in attendance, and in the start of the youth ministry of this church. Interesting that this church has sent many young people into full time ministry. The dedication of their 1000 seat facility featured special mention of the work that Neysa did, her faithfulness in the prayer meetings of the church, her encouragement of the leaders, her work with the women, but it was clear that her investment in the children's and youth ministry has been the foundation of the fruit this church is now experiencing. To God be all the glory.
