Hello,
I just wanted to shoot off a quick point of information and prayer request regarding Burkina: Burkina Faso and other countries including Senegal, Chad, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Guinea, Niger, and Nigeria have experienced bad flooding the last few days. I have copied a report from IRIN, a news service we suscribe to below. See http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?ReportID=90046 for the […]

Just wanted to update you a bit on our last 3 weeks…
LIFE 2010 (the youth missions’ conference) in Louisville KY was awesome!
Pete was part of 2 seminars about missions. He also had a 20 minute spot on the main stage to talk about the results of the […]

It was great for Pete to get to know the others, find out what they are doing, and how we can coordinate together. We are excited with new directions […]
After a very nice family vacation in the States in Dec / Jan, and a brief time with some church people in the South, Pete and we parted ways. We came back to Burkina, and Pete stayed on for a week in the States, and then 10 more days in Tapei for a “Short Term […]
Hi Everyone!
EMAIL TROUBLE

Our fasonet address has been shut down, so unless you hear differently, please use: pete.brokopp@verizon.net or alice.brokopp@gmail.com to write. Some of you have received notices and the rest […]
Hi! Thank you for praying for our flood relief efforts. Pete had been putting in very full days, sometimes not coming home for lunch. We needed your prayers!
In the first days after the flood, there were many meetings.
One of the first caught Pete off guard: a meeting led by the president of the country! […]
Tuesday morning, I awoke at 5:00 a.m. to the sound of rain beating against our tin roof. Aahh! Sleeping during a cooling rainfall in Sub Sahara Burkina Faso is the ultimate relaxation; so I fell into a refreshing sleep. When I got up at 6:00 a.m., the rain was still driving down, and at 7:00 […]
Our summer was awesome! One of our highlights was the teams.
If you are on Facebook and would like to see a GREAT recap of the summer teams, become friends with “Reach Burkina Faso.” If you’ve been on a team, it will bring back memories, and if haven’t, it might just persuade you to come!
In fact, […]
Dear Friends, As I write this, rainy season is well on it’s way — we’ve had 3 great rains already. They haven’t interfered too much with our teams, in fact, they are cause for celebration!
Teams:
· Early in June, Pete helped with a team from a Chinese church in DE. They had brought money from a […]
