As new churches are planted, it's important to have well trained pastors ready to lead them. Teaching and mentoring young pastors and lay leaders is another primary focus of our ministry and a great joy for us as well. Africa's Hope is a ministry we work with here. They provide curriculum and discipleship materials in many African languages. We are blessed to have so many resources to advance to gospel. We can't wait to get back to the field and back to training future pastors and leaders.
One of the biggest ministries in West Africa is ministering to children. Currently 44% of the population in Guinea is under the age of 15. One Hope is a ministry that allows us to go into the local schools and spread the Good News of the Gospel through short skits and other unique methods. Please be praying now for open doors starting in the Fall of 2025.
French is the most widely spoken universal language in West Africa. We dedicated 10 months to learning and speaking French to equip us to minister in Guinea. We all were able to begin ministering in French just before we transitioned back to the states for itineration, but we will need to continue learning once we return to the continent.
Abigail gets be with us for a few more years serving and learning online with Cyndi still as her teacher. Abigail loves helping in children's ministry, at outreaches and even building tabs. We love seeing how God is using her and we are enjoying every moment we have with her until she launches into her adulting phase.
Speed the Light is an amazing ministry where the youth of our home district partner with us on the field. They provided us with a vehicle that was not only a blessing to our ministry but also to each of our visiting teams. Because of Speed The Light, none of our team had to hire outside drivers and all together it saved our teams almost $10,000 last term alone. Click our photo to see a video from last term.
