New pastor-missionaries head north...

Written by Keith Smith

It looks like there will be two new pastors moving into the province of Oudalan in the coming months. One plans to move into a Tamacheq village, and one into a Songhai village...

I will write more about these men when things are clearer, but please pray for them and their families as they make this big step. They are coming with a vision and passion to bring God's love and blessing to the communities of the north. Both men are from the Mossi people, and so are effectively cross-cultural missionaries. They will have to learn the local languages and adapt to the local culture.

In addition, they will not be supported financially by a mission agency or church, but will have to find some land, build a house, and find a way to support themselves. Usually they would work a field, but this is difficult in the dryness of the sahel. Often their first church is a nearby tree with enough shade to keep the sun off.

At APT, we will try and help these families get established in the province. We aim to help them find some land and build a house, help them get a means of transport - usually a motorbike - and help them start a small business as a way of supporting themselves.
