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, […]

Last year, when the team from Franklin came to Burkina, they were touched by a little crippled girl that they had met. After they left, they sent us her picture, and asked us to find her. They wanted to pay for her to have an operation to get her legs straightened.
The district president found Lati, […]
The activities at the youth camp were varied. The youth spent time being spiritually challenged by their leaders. They also played soccer, took care of business, and did evangelism.

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 […]

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 […]
If you’ve been checking this site regularly, you should have been keeping up to date with “things” in our lives lately.
In summary: A team from Northmar, OH came and went. Once again, they were an Awesome team, and we were sorry to see them go. Then, during our week of rest, a team from Alice’s […]
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, […]
On Thursday, we went to the zoo. Though the lions never came out of the grass, it was still a cool experience and we even got to touch some of the animals…
