Amazing things are happening!

My blog has been dormant for a while because so much is happening!  We had a wonderful visit with our ministry partner from West Africa.  God is doing amazing things!

• Through the goat project, which enables poor children to go to school, 6,187 kids have been given goats in about 59 villages.  Over half of them have come to Christ!
• Since March, at least 65 people from Muslim towns have come to Christ through an outreach using the Jesus Film.  Follow-up is being carried out among the new converts.
• A team of church planters is seeking to plant 50 churches this year. 
• Summer programs for kids are reaching out to children and introducing them to Christ.  We heard how kids from Muslim homes fear opposition from their families, but are still responding to the Gospel!
• Plans are underway to train and equip African Christians to share God’s Word throughout the continent and the world.
• Hundreds of women have seen God’s love in action through a micro-enterprise program. 
• A vocational training center for women is being constructed.  It expands on a sewing school ministry that has a history of seeing 40% of its Muslim students come to Christ.  Our ministry partner’s wife shared with us how the women receive instruction free of charge and are given a sewing machine upon graduation.  The only requirement is that they attend Bible study. 
• A Christian radio station is sharing God’s Word in five languages and has over one million listeners. 

We serve an amazing God!
