Rev Ian and myself (Ben) split from the team on Wednesday to take the Pastor’s Conference in the EPE Bible School. The team will pick us up again on Friday (we hope!!) as they past through returning to the capital for the last leg of the trip.
30 Pastors and church leaders are attending the conference that started on Wednesday and lasts all-day Thursday & Friday. Ian has been lecturing on John, on the origins of sin, repentance and the qualities of a preacher. He plans to talk on Salvation, how to prepare sermons, and how to use the African Bible Commentary. I’ve talked about Luke 15 and tomorrow I plan to talk about Christian Leadership and Daniel 1.
There is a wide range of experience at the conference, we have the Chairman of the EPE church and senior Pastors right through to first year Bible students. Ian has definitely stirred lively debate with the Pastors engaging throughout the conference.
Tomorrow we’ll give the African Bible Commentaries, in French, to all attendees of the conference. Langham Literature generously donated the commentaries for the pastors and we’ll have some pictures of the conference up when we return to broadband speeds in the capital.
I have no news of the other eleven team members in Legmoin as we haven’t been in contact. We trust that no news is good news and they are continuing the painting work and have started the Kid’s club today.
Next update should be from Ouagadougou on Friday evening.
