Monday Travels

Well it’s time to leave Ouagadougou. We enjoyed our week teaching here. After preaching this morning, at lunch, the leaders said how much the students enjoyed our teaching. They also reminded us that they consider this an annual obligation for us to come teach. They also invited Debby to come do their big women’s conference.


You can see the picture of most of the students in the room.

Please be praying for our travel tomorrow morning at 8 am (3 am East Coast Time) we will set off to Parakou, Benin. It is just above the middle of the country and the beginning of the Muslim North of Benin. First it is a 4 ½ hour drive to the border. Than about an hour of border paper work. Then about 6 hour ride in a Bush taxi to Parakou. You also loose an hour at the border when you set your watch ahead one hour. So that will be a days worth.

Internet in Parakou is limited when I can get to the Internet Café. We will do a Christian Workers seminar every morning and a Church Crusade every evening. So it will be a busy few days.

On Friday we take the 6 hour bus ride on to Cotonou, Benin. Saturday I go on to Accra, Ghana to pick up the team of 8 – with suitcases. Each is bringing a suitcase of clothes and medicine donated for the orphanage. Sunday morning we all load up and cross Ghana, cross Togo and on to Benin to Cotonou. A whole day process.

Thank you so much for praying for us.
