Valley Baptist Church

We had yet another great team come out and visit with us on a "Vision Trip."  Valley Baptist Church from Searcy, Arkansas came out to look at Abidjan and to hopefully partner with a local African Church to plant new churches.  We are praying that they decide to come back out again.  The purpose of this trip was to do just a little bit of everything.  We toured the city, looked at the sites and visited several places that don't have a Baptist Church or even an evangelical Church in the area.

The team visited with Pastor Kassou and his family to see how a Christian family lives.  We also shared a meal with Pastor Kassou and his family.

The team also worshiped with the Baptist Church in Treichville.  They visited the Church Sunday morning and Wednesday night.

As always phone numbers were exchanged as well as email addresses.  I have no idea how they will communicate without a translator, but I have no doubt that emails will be sent.

Paul was the only guy that came on this mission trip.  The other five members of the team were women.  Pray for Paul as he feels he is being called to the mission field.

Pastor Dah, just to my right, and the church gave all the members of the team as well as Heather and myself, matching African clothes.  We put them on at the end of the Wednesday night service.

Just one more picture of the team in their cool African outfits.
