We just got back from our first service at Eglise Baptiste De L’eau Vive in Burkina Faso. Brother Keith Shumaker started this church a year ago. I will be updating the pictures of the construction progress during the week on the bcwe website. The Shumakers are being greatly used of God here in Burkina Faso. You can keep up with them on their blog.
I had the privilege of challenging them for a few minutes to use what they have for God. Austin preached on turning the world upside down for Christ from Acts chapter 4. It was fun to watch him preach with an interpreter (Brother Keith). There were 65 in the service and the response appeared to be very good to the message. I was challenged again to consider all that God wants to do in my life to reach the world.
Sister Shumaker is a tireless worker and has been a great hostess to us. Someone evidently told her that I survive on coffee. It is a pleasure staying in their home. I know that my wife would love to be here and get her hands on their three adorable children. Emily, Meredith and Isaac.
Pray that God does great things this week in Burkina Faso.
