Pissila (new church)
Pissila is a small town on the way to Roungou (where Salif is leading the church and the MP3 discipleship program). We have been praying about starting a church there for quite some time. Salif is finishing up his Bible College studies this month. He, his wife Mamata and their two children will be going to Pissila in June. June 28th thru May 1st we will be holding special services and doing a huge evangelistic campaign to kick off the new church.
We have also found a piece of land. It is 2 and half acres. Tomorrow, we will go to Pissila to buy the land.
It will cost $1,500. A good brother, Derick Jackson, held a softball tournament and gave all the proceeds to us ($911). We felt that it would be great to apply it to this land. Another church sent in an extra $1000 last month.
We will then have to draw up the plans and place the survey markers. This will cost $500. Then we will register it with the government. From what I have been told the taxes on the land will probably be near $2500. Be in much prayer as this church will begin in a little over a month.
