Ministry Prayer Requests

Burkina Faso Update

Doris Ba & Pastor MoumouniDoris Ba was able to stop in Burkina Faso as you took her two high school children to a new school in Ghana. She is sharing some study bibles she took with her. She writes that despite Satan’s attacks of accusations that our ministry is a Sect, Pastor Moumouni is shepherding the flock with grace and strength provided by God himself. Mrs. Moumouni is very ill, with diabetes and she just gave birth to a baby girl. She needs our prayers. While there Doris was able to encourage a new believer who had just given his life to God. His wife abandoned her home and this caused him to backslide and lose hope. She encouraged him and his daughter and gave them a study Bible as a gift. Pastor Moumouni will do the follow up.

Finds Man of Peace After 14 Months

Burkina Faso Pastor Moumouny reports that after searching for an estimated period of about 14 months, he is convinced the man he found possesses the qualities of a man of peace (Luke 10). He is excited and working with his man of peace.

Moumouny says that the man (name withheld) has now introduced him to his wife and children and they are quietly meeting and studying the Bible, something this man had bluntly refused to do.

According to Moumouny, this man is an Animist, an ordinary person in the community. He is very interested and excited about spiritual things, the things of God. This man of peace has also introduced him as a friend to another man who is a voodoo doctor. They are quietly studying together without the knowledge of any family member or friend. Here is the voodoo doctor testimony:

“My entire family is from a voodoo back ground. I am a voodoo doctor because I was favored by my grand uncle who passed this on to me. As you know I am very powerful man here and many people come to me and I give them power. But sometimes I always felt intimidated so I knew that there was some other power that is beyond my understanding that confuses me. So when ever I am confused or intimidated and can not find my way out I usually say this to them; base on the request you made to me, I gave you this charm or talisman to work for you, if God agrees.” He said in order for his charm or talisman to work against a person, he first commands the spirit of the person to appear before him. However he admits that he does not have the power no matter how hard he tries to command the spirits of some people (especially some Christians). So he tells his clients that this will work if God agrees, but none of them have ever asked him what he means if God agrees.

Moumouny, His Man of Peace and the Voodoo doctor are studying the Bible quietly.

Pastor Moumouny is requesting that we all join him in prayer so that this man (name withheld) and the voodoo doctor will be true men of peace as they go through the EMD in the CPM pyramid.

Meanwhile the church continues to hold regular church activities, Sunday School, Bible Study and prayer meetings. For the period the church attendance was 103, and a total of 3 person gave their lives to Christ. All 3 were animist.
