The past ten days have borne fruit for us on two continents. In Cote d'Ivoire, Verlin made great progress on several fronts:
- All attendees of the CHE university training in Abidjan are now filed in a database with the capacity to contact them easily as they begin projects with what they have learned.
- In Bondoukou, Verlin coordinated with various economic leaders in four different visits to plan their joint participation of the Global Leadership Conference October 21-22. (AWAupdate_160820)
Since Thursday, Verlin has been in Bouna for some encouraging follow-up meetings. He will be there until late Saturday, the 8th, or through Sunday. We rejoice at the following items already accomplished:
- He met with the three medical professionals who were trained at the university in Abidjan in the past two years. It looks good to start a CHEducation training at the Muslim level, and CHEngagement training in the medical practice level. Praise God!
- Verlin attends part of a leadership training being held at the FWB Bible Institute with around 45 participants. The local king's son, who is also a pastor, is using concepts widely introduced by CHE for much of its content.
- He was also able to plan with two pastors to affirm a TOT1 CHE training. One is now scheduled for November 6-13 in central Cote d'Ivoire with a very remote pastor. The week after that, Verlin will follow up with several contacts in the Bouake area who consider CHE ministry.
- Praise the Lord for the growing fulfillment of anticipated CHE trainings and the opportunity to multiply and equip leaders for wholistic ministry in Cote d'Ivoire! Over 230 persons have been exposed this year. We wait until they multiply themselves to be called trainers.
- Corbin has either strep throat or a severe sinus infection. Pray for this and a few other medical issues he is dealing with that affect his ability to thrive in college.
- In Tennessee, Debbie had three doctor appointments in which it was confirmed that all seems well after the hernia surgery. That said, more work is needed to identify and clear up one last health issue. She has been to Jackson to see Corbin and take care of a vehicle breakdown. Visits in Cookeville have confirmed that the drip flashing installed on our mobile home gutters seems to have remedied the severe leak into the house during rains.
