Ivory Coast Independence | 7th August 2023

We are delighted to bring you an encouraging update and photos from our ministry partner in Ivory Coast, Pastor James Wheagar, who is using LMI Bible teaching resources in multiple locations. He said:
“Yesterday [Sunday] on the National Independence Day of our country, Ivory Coast, the youths of our church and I organized a sports day. We brought together 350 young people from different communities of San Pedro. I took the opportunity to announce that LMI lessons will be available for them in their high schools, colleges and universities. Glory to God, the program went very well today.
 

LMI Burundi Rep Visits Matana in Bururi Province

It was terrific to receive these photos from Aloys Nduwindavyi, LMI’s Representative in Burundi, following a recent visit to Matana in Bururi Province, where he shared LMI’s vision with church leaders and made the French version of our ‘Dynamics of Discipleship’ resource available to them.
 
Aloys also provided our brothers and sisters in Matana with other Bible teaching and youth discipleship materials that we sent to him previously, which will be used to help new believers grow in their faith.
 
Each evening, Aloys was afforded an opportunity to do evangelism, and he spoke on the consequences of sin and impact of salvation.
