Literacy Classes for Women

Assita Coulibaly, the wife of Dr. Coulibaly, conducts classes to teach women to read. Learning to read will help these women to make more independent decisions regarding their lives and some may come to Christ as they experience His love.

English Classes for Adults

Dr. Coulibaly teaches English classes for interested adults. The people of Burkina Faso are multi-lingual. There are 66 languages in Burkina Faso and most of the people know several of these languages. The language of education in Burkina Faso is French, but as people become more educated they wish to learn English too, since this is the business language of the world. Dr. Coulibaly, who is fluent in many languages, teaches English as a service to people who wish to add English to the language skills. This too is used an outreach ministry to develop relationships and show the love of Christ.

Financial Help for Poor Families in the Churches

Although West African Christian Ministries is an under-funded ministry, destitute church families often come for help. They usually need food or medicine. Famine is a common problem as it was just this last year. Some Americans have given to relief of hunger among those touched by this ministry.

Planting Trees, AIDs Education, Etc.

This ministry recognizes that Christians have great responsibilities toward their communities. Young people have planted trees to stop the encroachment of the desert. Health officials have been invited to teach the youth about AIDS prevention. These are just some of the things that are being done to express the love of Christ.

Please pray alongside of us that the Lord would continue to direct West African Christian Ministries.
