Though the new church
plant in Burkina Faso
has faced some serious
struggles and opposi-
tion, we are seeing dee-
pening roots of faith
develop in the lives of
young people who are
eager to learn of Christ
and to know HIM as
their Savior. Many of
these come from Mus-
lim homes where they
face persecution for
their new faith. But
despite that, several
are taking bold stands
in their young faith and
continue to come to
church. Pastor Daniel
is currently there in
the city of Bobo Dio-
ulasso working with
these new Christians to
deeply root their faith
in Christ!
