Education is not a given here in Burkina Faso. Overcrowding in elementary schools makes it difficult for children to learn. We were thrilled to attend the closing ceremony for our Alliance Christian Elementary school. Smaller class sizes allowed every student to successfully complete the school year and we are pleased to report that the next three classrooms will be ready for this next school year. We are also dreaming of a library/computer lab for this school to give our students an extra boost in their education. Thank you for giving to this ministry and for allowing us to serve in Burkina Faso. Continue to pray for all of our Christian schools and for the students that have come to know Jesus through this work.

#1--Thanks for the Great Commission encouragement.

#2--Thanks for some specific prayer info. That library/computer lab resonated with me. I (and the church) will
be praying to that end.

#3--What a beautiful picture!
