The kids that I work with...

The month of April held a wonderful opportunity for us to share the Gospel of Christ with many kids - some for the very first time through the Kids of Hope program that Kate Royal heads up here in Ouagadougou.

Out in the Village.....wait, where's my camera???

So, I'm outside of the city the other evening on an outreach and forgot my camera. Luckily, a friend of mine had one along. You really gotta love point and shoot cameras these days - so handy and small. Anyways - in the background there is a bunch of kids playing this fun little game called "life boats." You might remember it from way back - someone calls out a number and you all have to get in groups that match the number.

Out in the Middle of Nowhere!

On a recent village trip, we had the opportunity to travel just 6 km off the paved road to a village that seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. After jumping out of the van and setting up a battery powered speaker, we had a pretty good sized group of kids begin to wonder over to scope us out. Pictured above is that group of kids surrounding Ferrin (visiting youth pastor) as we were wrapping up a time of games and a short Bible lesson.
