All of our teams efforts go towards establishing a strong, viable, resilient church, founded on the Lord Jesus Christ, faithfully teaching the Word of God, and bringing as many as we can into the Kingdom of our Lord. This part of our DNA has been inherited by our national church in Burkina Faso. As more and more people are being displaced into our cities, pastors are looking for property in areas where the displaced are settling. They are quickly putting up structures and gathering benches and even asking for displaced passtors to come and pastor these church plants.

 

A church is a place where anyone can come for prayer. Most established churches and even cell groups are meeting for prayer several times a week. A church is where everyone is welcome no matter their present situation. A church is a place to find practical help and counsel. A church is a place to find hope and friendship through Jesus Christ.

 

We are thankful to serve a denomination that has church planting as part of their DNA. People who are displaced, or hurting, or lonely, need a place to go where they can find those who care about them and can share about the God who loves, and His Son Jesus Christ who saves.
