Thanks for praying for Africa

Thanks for praying for the West Africa CPI Conference, June 19-22. I heard news that things were off to a rocky start, lost luggage and that kind of thing. So, like you, I prayed that God would work mightily. I got this report from Steve Smith BGC Missionary in Ivory Coast that brought some people with and took part in the conference.

Let me say that God showed up. I wish you could have seen the impact the conference had on all who attended. I believe the African leaders were truly and deeply touched in their spirits by the Lord. The times of worship were wonderful and there seemed to be a beginning of understanding of the gospel in the hearts of many. Time will tell, but ask your supporters to pray for these leaders as they return home that God will renew them and raise them up for such a time as this in the history of West Africa.

Over 225 leaders from 13 countries and 15 denominations gathered for the first West Africa Church Planting Institute from June 19-22 in Accra Ghana.  Dr. Steve Childers and others conducted the training under the leadership of Nathaniel Adawonu and his leadership team.  This CPI Conference is a direct descendant of Japan CPI.
