We traveled north this week to make final plans for a CHE training scheduled in April, and to visit two people who are putting CHE into practice. Mentoring through follow-up is a huge part of the CHE process. One person is a doctor who attended the university training for three years, and now uses what he learned in his pediatric work at the public hospital. As we ate lunch together on Tuesday, we found out he received an award for excellent service in the whole region! Sometimes he feels like a fish swimming upstream, but he stated that the CHE training he received always influences how he practices medicine.

The second CHE practitioner is a dear pastor and his wife in a remote village. They are reaching out in three surrounding villages using CHE with Discovery Groups as the Bible study method. A recent experience of an NGO trying to assist a near-by village further ingrained the truth in their hearts and minds that local problems require local solutions. Attached is a picture (at sunset!) of their new T-shaped church building that is almost complete, a necessity since the congregation has grown so much.

Verlin then left on Friday to pick up the president of the CHE national network three hours south. Next they travelled to Bouake to put plans in place for a large CHE conference scheduled in November. They also had a very encouraging meeting with a pastor in a remote village in mid-Cote d’Ivoire who was trained in CHE in 2016 and 2017.

Prayer and Praise:

• Rejoice with us that eternal destinies are changed, daily lives are enriched, and hope is reborn as Ivorians spread the good news of abundant life in Christ! You have a part in that, and we are grateful. We were blessed with over 25 hours of safe travels on the road this week, always a cause for thanks.
• Good news! When Debbie called the visa office in Abidjan this week, she was told that the machine is now repaired and that we can get our visas.
• Continue to pray for obstacles to be removed in our CHE agricultural project.
