Burkinabe Hunger for Truth

June 6, 2008

Eleven young men received Christ during a recent Bible study led by Toby Hull, Alliance missionary to Burkina Faso. After presenting the Old Testament account of the Flood, Hull explained that Noah’s story foreshadowed the coming of Jesus and how salvation is available only through faith in Christ. He asked the men if any of them wanted to receive Jesus as Savior. All the young men stood to indicate they wanted to trust in Christ.  
 
Hull continued to ask questions to ensure that they fully understood the commitment they were about to make. They gave clear testimony of faith in Jesus. “They understood that just like the people would die in the flood if they were not in Noah’s ark, they would be condemned for their sins if they don’t come to Jesus,” said Hull. “So, all 11 young men prayed to accept Christ!” 
 
“It is an exciting time to be serving the Lord in Burkina Faso!” said Hull and his wife, Kiersten. “People are so open and hungry for the Truth. God is at work!”
