We are very happy in hearing that your Listowel church is planning to send some of you to visit us. We will be happy to have them, and we are praying for the Lord arranges all things. Here In Burkina, we are still asking when you are planning to visit us and how long will be the trip?

Here in Burkina, we are in the dry season, and it is cold. The temperature is about 14 to 18C in the nigth and is very difficult for us to support it. So we want you to pray for the Lord helps us to support it.
We are praying for you. May the peace and the grace of the Lord be upon you!
