We have had a good number of people put their faith in Jesus recently. Burkina is a country that is over 50% Muslim. I think that it is possbily much higher than that. We had a women come to church a few weeks back. She trusted Christ and then explained her situation. She told us that if her family knew where she was, that they would beat her and kick her out of the house. She has been faithful to come that last few weeks.

Another young lady, named Ada, trusted Christ. She is Fulani. The Fulani are all over West Africa. From what I have read they are 99.9% Muslim. She was invited to come to church a few months back. She said she didn’t want to come because she knew that churches forced people to convert. Her friend, Salie, told her, “that at our church we didn’t force anybody to become a Christian because we can’t. It’s a decision that the individual has to make.” She came for about three weeks straight. On Wednesday night, she raised her hand for her need of salvation. My wife took her aside and she received Christ. Today, Rebecca was witnessing with Salie. Salie told my wife to go and witness to a certain man. This man turned out to be the uncle of Aida. He had told Salie a few days before, “What are you doing? Don’t you know that Fulani are Muslim and not Christian.” I am grateful that Christ is not just the Lord of the Jews or Greeks or the Americans or of any other group but of whomever comes to Him in Faith.

Romans 10:12 says, “For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.”
