Astou leading worship





In early November many Christian women from our region gathered in Ziguinchor to seek God to strengthen us so we can effectively do Jesus' work together. So Tina and I traveled with Astou and Martine from Oussouye to Ziguinchor.  For 2 1/2 days we all stayed at the Mission property of the Association of Evangelical Churches of Senegal in Ziguinchor, where we had the seminar. The ride there was fun. Kristina, Astou, Martine, and myself went to to Oussouye garoutiere and rode the bus to Ziguinchor together. The seminar was a fruitful time. We all prayed together, worshiped God together, studied the bible together, ate together, played games together, and shared about our lives with one another.  It was especially refreshing for the other ladies, who can't get away from home often, due to responsibilities for their families.  We all had a ball!  By the end of our time there, God gone made us more unified, helped us build unity with those in our individual churches, and did inner and physical healing in our lives.  Jesus is so cool!
