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 […]
Hi Everyone! Just sent you a pile of praises… Now here are some prayer requests. I don’t think we need to remind you that we live and stay in Burkina BY YOUR PRAYERS!!! We’ve faced a few crises lately. Perhaps this is partly because we are so busy involved in life and ministry, that we’ve […]
Here are some praises to follow up our last prayer requests!!!
HEALTH, PROTECTION: We are now healthy, and the discouragement
Alice was facing in Jan / Feb has passed! Life has more or less returned to normal

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! 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 […]
On Tues, Sept 1, we had a devasting flood in Ouaga — the worst since 1922. Around 160,000 people lost their homes. The death toll is low, but rising. Pray for us and ACCEDES as we figure out how best to reach these people. More information later.
For pictures, please go to Pete N Alice Brokopp […]
Today (Monday, July 13), Pete left for Kigali, Rwanda. He will be participating in an Andrew Palau (son of Luis Palau) festival to see what the logistics of hosting such a conference here in Burkina would be. For more details, go to www.palau.org
Pray for health, rest, for good ideas to be born out of this […]
