Where He leads--I'll follow.



The verdict is in!! This summer I will be going to Burkina Faso, Africa to help provide clean water and spread God’s word with those who have never heard of Him.
Some of the things I will experience in Burkina Faso this summer are Red dirt, ancient tribal peoples, and the largest elephant population in West Africa. It predominantly consists of Muslim and Animist, Burkina is in the middle of the most unreached section of the world.

I will journey to the capital city of Ouagadougou (Wa-ga-du-gu) to reach out to the Burkinabe through evangelism and community development projects. Our ministry will include skits/drama, school presentations, English language training, work projects to provide access to clean water, and assisting in medical clinics. We'll do outreach in the capital as well as in village settings. In this nation, where 60% of the population is under the age of 16, we'll share Christ with a number of children who have never heard the Gospel. Please help me as I share Christ with the Mossi, Fulani, and other tribes in this colorful nation. Imagine being introduced to the “Living Water” and given clean water at the same time!

My goal this summer is to get out and spend the summer loving God and people in ways I never have before. I will keep you updated with my blog throughout this adventure. Please feel free to share it with your friends and I ask for as many prayers as possible for a successful trip!!
