Prayer Walking Team - 2005

  Preparing the Way...

Again led by Larry Rowell, and this time including his wife Edwina, this year our church sent a team to walk among the Fulani and pray for God to work among them.  Larry, Edwina, Kym Stein, Angela Marcum and Ramona Hieneman, walked and prayed for God to bless the Fulani people.

Continue to pray with our team for the Fulani, so God will continue preparing the way for more trips to this area.  May the Fulani in Burkina Faso come to a saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Pray:

	That God would reveal himself to the Fulani and lift the darkness/deception to which they are presently subject.
	That God reveal His goodness to the Fulani people.
	For God to destroy the works of Satan in Fulani lives.
	For God to reveal their true spiritual condition, and need for salvation.
	That God would draw the Fulani irresistibly to Himself.
	For the Fulani to become convicted of sin, that they will see God's righteous standard, and they will understand the judgment to come.
	That God will reveal Jesus as the only savior.
	That God's kingdom will come to the Fulani people as it is in Heaven, and that His will be done.

"Our purpose was to prayer walk through portions of Burkina Faso, including Fulani tribal areas. We partnered with members of Kongoussi Baptist Church, a church formerly planted by Larry Rowell. Kongoussi is located approximately 60 kilometers from Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso. We walked through five villages surrounding Kongoussi.

Sunday morning we worshiped with the small congregation that gathered for church in Kongoussi. The children sat dazed and attentive for 3 hours!  Everyone on the team gave their testimony and the women sang two songs.

In Ouagadougou we visited an orphanage, praying for the work there. We also prayed walking through the neighborhood surrounding our guesthouse and at the International School of Ouagadougou where many different nationalities are taught.

As we ended our pray walking sessions with the Kongoussi church, the pastor made the statement he understood now it did not take money or films or paper to evangelize the lost. It just took the time to walk and build relationships, praying for those who do not know Christ."
