Bible Club Reaches Unchurched Children

July 8, 2008

Alliance missionary Esther Schaeffer, along with a team of colleagues and volunteers, recently launched four weeks of Bible clubs at four area churches in Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, hoping to reach the city’s children for Christ. The program’s success was evident the following Sunday when 89 youngsters showed up for Sunday school at the St. Etienne Church, where usually only 10 children attend.  
 
When the children were asked if they knew the name of the first man God created, many named the founder of another religion. “What an awesome opportunity to share the gospel of Jesus with unchurched children,” Schaeffer said. “We’re off to an exciting start.”
