(Burkina Faso)–And finally, pastors in Burkina Faso are praising God for the gift of books. SIM International, under their Pastor’s Library Project, recently delivered 24 tons of books to pastors in this West African country. These books made 18-hundred pastoral libraries across the country. In most cases, this is the first time pastors have had access to books to help them peach the Gospel and lead their congregations effectively. Worldwide, SIM has distributed more than two-point-two million books, impacting nearly 70-thousand churches.
