College Team: Off to P Land

A little truck trouble but fixable

After re-supplying in Bamako, we began the two day journey to P land where Waraba lead in a Storying Conference.

Stopping for lunch

Arrived and greetings

We picked up over 22 followers from three different villages for the conference. Although Waraba lead, each student told a story and Jak shared his testimony. It was a great time of fellowship, worship and growing.

Sleeping in the bush

There will be grow in the desert

After the conference, the team spent two more days greeting, praying, and sharing stories with seekers and followers in Village “S”. We also witnessed land being given to the followers of Village “S”. There are many different hopes are for the use of this land including building a place to meet both spiritual and physical needs of the P people. As we left, we traveled through another village to view how God is in the process of providing a radio station for broadcasting His Word. We prayer walked through each unfinished room and asked God to protect and utilize this facility for His glory. Pray for all the young followers scattered throughout this area. Pray for the followers and seekers in Village “S”. Pray for the land that was given and wisdom in how to use it. Pray for the radio station.

What we looked like when
 trip was over

As we ended our month long journey together we realized it was really just the beginning. Kadia left knowing more of the culture, village life and that it is doable. She is now back in the States making arrangements to return for a year beginning Jan 2011. Sali left with a definite call to medical missions and a new found love for West Africa. Abbi left with a passion to reach the Samogho and get her church involved with the Samogho as well. She also sees missions in her personal future. Yaya left having experienced God in a real and personal way. Waraba grew personally and is still trusting God for guidance in her next steps. Pray for each of these young people as they continue to live out what God revealed about Himself and their futures serving Him.
