We are excited today to begin the grace ministry in this French speaking, West African country. We have received the warmest possible welcome from Pastor Georges and his church family here in Abidjan. And we had a busy day:
6:30AM - Pastor Georges picked me up to drive to the radio station for his daily, one hour live radio broadcast.
7:00 to 8:00 - I spoke for about a 1/2 hour on the live FM broadcast, giving my testimony of being saved out of Catholicism (Ivory Coast is a Catholic country) and of finding the message of grace.
10:00 to noon - Pastors' Conference at the church -- I spoke on the mystery revealed to the Apostle Paul
Lunch at noon with about 15 pastors.
After lunch -- the French West African TV network sent a 5 person crew to interview me. The piece will be aired on Wednesday evening to all the French speaking countries in West Africa -- Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinnea, etc.
8:00 PM - Training seminar in the grace message for the leadership of the church here, about 60, mostly young, leaders were in attendance. I spoke on grace principles in the Letter to the Colossians.
10:00PM - Supper at Pastor Georges home and to the hotel for a night of rest.
Please pray for the meetings tomorrow, starting with the 7AM radio broadcast, then the second session of the pastors' conference. The conference theme is 1 Cor 2:7-8. Leon will be speaking tomorrow evening to the entire church.
