Story number 3 for 21 Mar 2002

(Burkina Faso)–Twenty-five believers from a Christian and Missionary Alliance church in Goin, Burkina Faso, have returned to their village after being driven away by animists wielding machetes. The government mediated the situation, and the Christians have been allowed back to their homes. However, the C&MA asks for continued prayer as the Fulani have been strongly resistant to the gospel. No Scripture is available to them as yet, although Bible translation is in progress by translation teams. The mission also has begun evangelistic campaigns.
