Greetings from Senegal
Thank you so much for praying for the Mandinka, our team, and this volunteer team from Hunter Street. They left the states in the midst of the blizzard. They boarded their plane early, but had to sit on the runway for some time for deicing. We are so grateful for God’s provision and protection. One of the members had a conversation with a Senegalese from another people group during the flight. He was very surprised to find that they would be working among the Mandinka, because they are known for their staunch faith. We are in a God-sized task. This was such a great reminder that we are God’s vessels and this is His battle. Let us be faithful to tell the Good News wherever he leads us and leave the results with the Father.

January Team
This team did a great job. We spent two days including the night in DjT and two days in BN. They divided into three groups. Each group visited in compounds, spending time getting to know the people and their needs. Stories from God’s Word that spoke to the issues were shared in the compounds. After praying for the compound, each group had a medical person that treated wounds and physical ailments. There is a small hospital in BN that the team donated some bandages and supplies to on the last day. We pray that the love that was shown in the name of Christ will break down strongholds that have been a barrier to the Gospel. We also pray for the young people that followed throughout the villages and heard many stories from the Word, will come to know the truth.

February Team
We are looking forward to another team from Hunter Street, coming in a few weeks. They will be working in some new, more rugged areas. We are praying and seeking the Lord’s direction in where he would have us to reach out. Some of the villages in our area have begun to resist the Gospel. There is still much work to be done in Sed, but we are looking across the river as well as in The Gambia. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will go before this team as well as call out more workers to join in this task of sharing the Gospel with the Mandinka.
