Our ministry is composed of many different aspects, but the main goal is to bring men, women and children to the saving power and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
1. I believe that this should be the goal of every Christian, to Evangelize the World. No matter what we do, no matter where we are at and no matter who we are, we should be witnesses for the Lord Jesus Christ. God has given my wife and I a vision to reach Africa with the Gospel. In Matthew 28:19 the Bible says, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations". The Bible doesn't say stop in one city, in one town, in one country but to go into all the World. The continent of Africa has millions of people who will perish into eternity without knowing Christ as their Saviour if we don't reach them. Their destiny: Hell! Sad but true.
2. Of course, our second goal is to be able to establish or plant Indigenous New Testament Baptist Churches with the Africans we lead to Christ. I have seen the effects of those who take missions trips and win thousands and then they leave. Those new born babes in Christ are left to fend for themselves. A mother wouldn't give birth to a child and then leave unless she was crazy. These new Christians join cults because no Church was planted and they feel the need for religion. Oh, by the way the Great Commission or I like to say the Great Commandment says to teach them. If all we do is win them, we have only done half of the job that God has instructed us to to. The Church is vital.
3. I have preached about reaching Africa with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in many Churches. I receive blank looks, lack of enthusiasm and of course the look that says you are crazy. How can one man reach Africa with the Gospel? The answer is he can't do it. That is why it is essential to train the nationals. One hundred nationals can reach Africa quicker than I can. This method is not new. Actually it comes from the Bible. It was the method that Jesus used. He did preach to thousands but if the goal is numbers, He was a failure. Of course we know that Jesus was not and is not a failure. When He left to go to Heaven, there were only 120 in the upper room. Not a big number. What He did do was to train twelve men and of those twelve men, He trained 3 men in particular(Peter, James, and John). The work flourished after Christ left. Why? Because He trained men! We feel that with the help of the Lord, we can reach Africa for Christ. Will you help us, by praying for us?
Plans for Burkina Faso
Plan for Ouagadougou
The capital of Burkina Faso is Ouagadougou. I have never been a big city man. When I was in the Ivory Coast we lived in a large city but not huge city. I thought I would work in a smaller city but God directed us to Ouaga. The city has about 2 million people. We feel that it is necessary to start 40 or more churches in this city. These churches will then be the springboard to reaching other areas.
