Things are going well in our congregation. We thank the Lord for the church growing.
Last year, two young girls of our church have completed their Bible training in the Republic of Mali. They spent four year studying and now they are real benediction for our church. One of them is teaching the children every Sunday and the other one is helping the women group in organizing Bible studies and others activities with them.
Last October, these two girl decided to go to Soutourou, a village at 20 kilometers far from Kotoura to spend a few days with a group of believers in helping them to become mature in their faith. During those days, they preach the Kingdom of God to the villagers, and 20 persons believed in the Lord. So we want you to pray for these two girls.
Amidou, a young man of our congregation begins his Bible training in Orodara this year. He hopes to become a pastor. He is studying with two other persons. We want you to pray for them, and particularly for Amidou, who will help our congregation.
Since September, our Parstor Mamadou, went to Ndorola to help a couple of missionaries planting a church. Now there is no pastor in Kotoura, but we have to care of three other congregations which are Kangala, Sayaga and Soutourou. It is not easy, but the church elders are doing their best to help these three congregations going ahead.
Next week, from 24 to 28 the Mennonite church youth will have their yearly seminar, and more than 15 persons of our church will be at this seminar. Pray for them.
May God bless you all!
I obtained my visa and I will be to Canada in April for IMPCT Conference.

We hope your church is going well. Here in our church at Kotoura, things are going well.
We have many conversions. A old man of more than 65 years, a woman of more than 50, a man of more than 25 and her wife, and many other young girls accepted the Lord Jesus. Our congregation is becoming greater and greater, and we want you to continue to pray for us.
Our pastor Mamadou TRAORE has to go to another village as an african missionary. Please pray for the Lord help him.
From April 24 to May 06, I (Daouda TRAORE) will be to Canada, for two weeks. I don't know if it will be possible, but I would like to visit you.
May the Lord bless you! We hope you a Happy New Year 2008. May the Lord be with you in all that your are doing.
