A recent report revealed the activity of a new CHE team in the west formed by some of whom we’ve trained. They will help reforest the area as brush fires caused severe damages and provide literacy training. The team found the necessary Ivorian-managed resources and some local people eager to launch the work. Pray for the new CHE endeavors taking root in western, central, and southeastern Cote d’Ivoire.

SOS & SOP
Save our Souls with Shouts of Praise! Thomas Jefferson knew that no man, no political party, no media pundit, and no tech giant could bring the healing and blessing that King Jesus affords to a nation! Taking cue from our update two weeks ago, we choose this week to rejoice in the goodness of God. His faithfulness never ends. His mercies renew every morning! Rejoice with us! Pray the Lord oversees the ordering of our tasks and events as we return to Cote d’Ivoire.
Star Witnesses
Heavenly lights and wise men are interwoven in Scripture. Just as the star led the magi of old to Jesus’ location, this coming week will grant us the opportunity to observe another celestial witness. On Monday evening, December 21, around dusk, look to the southwest horizon . . .
The Rescue
Back in early November, we listened with interest to the report about Seal Team 6’s rescue of an American in northern Nigeria. The parallel to the Christmas season seems evident to us: our King left His throne and splendor to rescue humanity’s unworthy, sinful souls. It is a great joy for us to assist our Lord to multiply the ministries that use Community Health Evangelism (CHE) strategies, which affirm the value of every human life.
Chasing Foxes
The wise man Solomon spoke of the little foxes that spoil the vineyards. These are little habits, little thoughts, little indiscretions, or little lies that lead us away from complete obedience to Jesus, the vine, God’s Word. . . Families are weak, churches are weak, and our nation is weak because we have not individually chased away enough little foxes that gnaw at our faith in God’s Word speaking to . . .
Give Me A “V”
Praise the Lord with us for the many Ivorians who, despite COVID-19, increase their efforts to share abundant life in Christ, without retreat. The CHE workers with whom we interact by phone have seized the pandemic crisis to evangelize, train, and equip more people than ever.
To Globe Trot or Not
How much longer before we globe trot or not in return to Cote d’Ivoire? This is a frequently asked question since old, and new friends realize we are eager to dive back into work on the field again. At this point . . .
Belief Trap
There exists a common faith in our world that animates and intermingles itself with what we term the major world religions. Many call it ‘animism.’ The term represents beliefs that nature, which surrounds humanity, responds more to spirits, sacred forces, and extraordinary phenomena than to human activity. . . . the story of change in Boto describes a people who escaped the curse of living with animist falsehoods.
Tunnel Visions
Perhaps you have heard the joke about competing ‘tunnel visions’: “I thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was a coming train!” The phrase aptly describes how many feel about the events of 2020. It may help us to remember that . . .
Delight n Duty
Sometimes the good we need to accomplish is hindered because we fail to make the process a pleasant experience. When we make what is duty delightful, our commitment becomes easier to fulfill. We may even find others who want to join us. Learn to equip the willing to make the process of reconciling the world to Christ a more pleasant experience.
