Welcome to the First Baptist Church of Detroit
May Update 05/07/2010
 
I am back down in the South for some meetings and also able

to do some visiting of people and ministries.  It is exciting to see what God

continues to do in south. 

 

God is good !!!!!!!!!  The Agou church building has almost

all the walls finished.  It is exciting to see it go up.  We are thankful for 4

guys who came out and got it started and have done alot of hard work to get it

to this point.  A missionary and his Togolese workers will now finish in the

next few months.  So thank you for praying.  They had alot of challenges along

the way.  One of them was the death of Pastor Bonifaces’s niece, 16 years

old, and one of the member’s son in the same week.  That was really a

difficult week for Pastor Boniface, trying to keep the construction going and

then dealing with these deaths.  It was reminder to all of us the brevity of

life.  We went to the wake of the member’s son, and showed some

evangelistic films.  Here in Togo

the families and friends of the deceased stay up all night so we thought it

would be a good opportunity to show these films.   We praise God that

inspite people drinking and some disruptions the gospel was preached and 4

young men prayed to receive Christ as Savior that night. 

 

I was also able to go visit the church of Wonougba

and Pastor Koffi and his wife.  They are so inspiring in that inspite of lots

of hard hearts in this village they continue to persevere.  And it was so

exciting to hear that morning two women were saved!!!!  So please continue

to pray for the Wonougba church  and Pastor Koffi and his wife Mansa.  Pray for

these two women that they would have a desire to grow in their faith. 

 

 

Last week we had Tom Lothamer who has many experiences with

boards come and meet with the hospital board.  That was very helpful to meet

with him and to learn how to function as a board and the whole administrative

organization.  This week our whole missionary team is gathered for two days of

meetings.  Pray for us as we discuss important items and desire to know the

mind of God in all that we do. 

 

While here in Tsiko I was able to meet with a woman who is

from Mango.  I was able to practice my Anufo with her and that was

encouraging.  Pray for her as she was muslim and  has professed Christ as

Savior.  She was saying to us that her family is not helping her and rejecting

her due to her faith.  I was able to talk with her brother and ask him

directly.  He did say that if she continued to go to church that they would no

longer help her.  Pray for us as we work with a local church in how to help

her.  What is also difficult is that she has AIDs and is not in good health. 

Pray that she would see God provide for her needs and that she would remain

strong in her faith. 

 

Finally, I would ask that pray much for a great need at our Mango hospital.  Last week a well drilling team tried

to drill for water, they went down 240 meters and did not find water.  We are

praying for God’s help to know what to do next.  We need water for our

hospital and we believe that God will provide!!!  Somehow!!!  So pray for this

need. 

 

God is doing great things.  Thank you for your partnership

in prayer, it is greatly needed!!!

 

For His glory in Mango,

 

Cindy.
