Along the way! We started studying French in Albertville, France in September 2007. The school we attended there specialized in teaching French to missionaries. It was an intensive 10 month course which brought us to a point where we can function with basic communication in Africa. In October 2008 we arrived in Ivory Coast, West Africa. Right now we are working on improving our French skills while immersing in the culture here. Our plans are to join a single lady, Lesley Wolfe, in reaching the Glaro people.  There are about 4000-5000 Glaro people living on the border of Ivory Coast and Liberia. They have never had a chance to hear the Gospel yet. Sometime 2009 we hope to change that with the help of God, as apart from him we can do nothing. While starting the church planting process there, we will also learn the Glaro language so that we will be able to minister effectively to the Glaro people. |
