Our field conference was great! It was a bit different this year because of budget cuts, but thanks to a gift from someone, we were able to hold it in our usual hotel. We were challenged by segments of Paul’s life in Acts, took care of some field business, and just enjoyed being together.

The district president found Lati, […]

Another focus of this camp was working to fill the foundation the last team built and digging another foundation. Watching over 300 youth working together to accomplish […]

The team woke up EARLY to go the the zoo. Only like someone said, it wasn’t really a zoo. I mean — they pet the hyena (I thought we weren’t supposed to do that!), fed the hippos and got real close to the Tiger.
Then they were on the road to Bobo where their actual ministry […]
A big tent was set up for opening ceremony to the National CMA youth camp on the new Colma property. Important people (such as the mayor, the church president…) were invited, and yes, there were speeches — all in French! Different choirs sang too. At the end, there were the typical burkinabe refreshments: Fried chicken, […]
During their first couple of days in Burkina, the team got to visit our ministries in Ouaga, many of which their church has been involved with in some way. It was exciting for them to see the foundation for the youth center at the central church, that they had worked on a bit. They also […]
OK. So you haven’t heard from me in a while — Please be patient, the connection here is HORRIBLE!!! Just so you know I haven’t abandonned you.
It looks from the pictures below that the Franklin team actually had FUN coming across the Atlantic ocean and landing in Morocco. They opted to stay in their hotel, […]
