TENT CITIES
The Flood of 2009 happened almost
two months ago, and yet there are still
hundreds of people homeless in Ouagadougou.
Initially the government was
housing flood victims in the local
schools, but then they needed to be reclaimed
for the opening of the school
year. Some of the homeless Burkinabé
were then moved to tent cities, like the
one shown here. One of our friends shared that his tent was 25K away
from his old house. The tents seems to be a good idea, but in the Burkina
heat the insides of these tents can really heat up. Security is another problem
since these families are carrying all of their possessions with them.
One Burkinabé shared that someone from the family needs to stay at the
tent at all times, otherwise thieves will come and take the few things that
they still have. PRAY that the housing situation here in Ouagadougou will
quickly be resolved.

KEEPING UP WITH MICAH!
Last week Micah’s ISO class went to visit a local orphanage. This week
Micah and a group from his youth group are in the village of Yako. They
will be ministering to the children of that village in various ways. The
youth group has been meeting and planning this event for the past month.
PRAY that all will go well in the village, that no one will get sick and that
their presence will be a blessing to the children.
Aside from ministry, Micah has started a small
pizza business. Everyday pizzas are made to
keep up with the increasing demand. He is
saving his earnings for the LIFE 2010 Alliance
Youth Conference, that will take place in Louisville,
Kentucky this summer. PRAY that he
will be able to cover all the expenses.
The 1st quarter at school has come to an end
and Micah had a very good report card. Keeping
up with his studies, playing djembé drum
for the youth group, making pizzas, playing
softball and participating in youth group events
keeps Micah hopping. PRAY for Micah also as he works to keep his life
in balance.
