With the University Community Health Engagement (CHE) training done for the year, except for
follow-up, Verlin continues with meetings scheduled every day until he leaves October 13. While in Bondoukou, he stays in a room of our rented home as repairs are made. Living in the house this week has let him identify and document some of the repairs needed, included a leak under the bathtub. In addition to what’s been daily witness for a week at two local African restaurants where he sometimes eats, he continues to follow up with people in the area who have been trained in Community Health Evangelism (CHE) and who are committed to work together for the expansion of the Gospel.
On Friday, Verlin visited Gouméré to follow-up and inform the transformational development that God does there. They are using CHE in a church-based approach. He was glad to see their strengthened resolve in activity and outreach. In coordination with two other Ivorian CHE teams in June and July 2015, the church hosted a U.S. medical team that did school health screenings to encourage CHE practices in the region. For the first time the church provided of their funds for many of the transport and lodging needs of the visiting team, including the rental of transport.
They also continue TOT1 training to increase the understanding and number of active CHE trainers in the area. There are now clear and organized plans to expand outreach in several new villages besides the one where they work now. Praise God with us for their steady growth, expansion, and zeal to share the gospel wholistically in an increasing number of places!
Your prayers and giving as ministry partners have been used of the Lord to yield these flourishing efforts and encouraging stories we hear every week. Thank you for participating in this equipping of West Africans to reach their own people for Christ and to bring tangible transformation that touches every realm of their lives.
Praise and Prayer:
Two supporters validated trusting the Lord to keep us here by informing us of their pledges. We now need 22 more partners or $2200 a month to stay here and follow-up. Without the follow-up, much of the excitement and chance to spread quickly across the nation will wane.
With Thanksgiving for your partnership in the Gospel,
Verlin and Debbie Anderson
