Dear beloved in
Jesus Christ. I thank God for your support and commitment to God’s mission.
Thank you so much for all donations. Receive our warm greetings from the Cote
D’Ivoire Annual Conference and my family. February 2014 was a wonderful month in
our ministries. God of mission has used us to preach the God News to a Muslim in
our house and gave him an opportunity to receive Jesus Christ. Here is Alasan’s
story.
ALASAN’s story who converted to Christianity
Alasan is about 45 of age; he was a Muslim living in a slum called
Washington here in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire. The Cote d’Ivoire Government has destroyed
this particular slum; Alasan was now squatting to his friend’s house. Because
of poverty and lack of resources, his wife runs away and left Alasan with one
daughter who is about 1year and half. Alasan started looking good life to
Marabou (witchcrafts), his friend a Muslim IMAN proposed him to sacrifice his
daughter for him to be rich but Alasan was hesitating for a period. The day he
decided to bring his daughter to his friend he collapsed down into the
road. The place he felt down was at our gate of the house. My wife Francine Masuka, saw a man down with his baby on his chest,
many people were passing him.
Francine decided to go near
him; she finds Alasan was too breathless to speak; he was agitated by a severe asthma attack.
The head of Alasan was swollen. Francine took courage to invite him to our house;
she bathed the baby and gave clothes and food to them. Alasan revealed to me
that he was going to sacrifice his baby, he don’t know how he is in the
pastor’s house. After a message of salvation to him, Alasan cried for repentance
and he decided to receive Jesus Christ in his life. He testified that he was
about to die without sacrificing his daughter but Jesus Christ is a living God,
who gave him life. After prayer; we gave him 20,000 Francs CFA( about $40 USD) for his rent deposit, we gave food, clothes and a bible for him to start a new life. Alasan cried to see another life
in Jesus Christ’s family; we accepted to stay with his daughter until he will be fine. Alasan is now
friend in Jesus Christ. You are invited
to pray for him.
Alasan has experienced the power of God’s word and he has touched the bible for the first time in his life.

Women empowerment program in Bingerville:
Pastor Pierrette Beugré has shared with us a
vision to empower widows in bingerville village where she is ministering. Women
have learned how to make soap for self-sufficient, how to share the Good news
of Jesus Christ using the wordless book.
Empowering women and young ladies is one of our
goals in Cote d’Ivoire to alleviate human suffering and fight poverty. Evangelism is to share the Good News to
people.
Marie and Francine were planning to teach women

loom.

Following is a partial list of needs for which you might intercede
as guided by the Spirit. Pray for many
churches to enter in covenant relationship with us. Pray for a mission vehicle
project which will enable us to reach the rural areas to plant UMC
congregations and do evangelization.
Remember,
you are part of this mission. I am not working independently in this foreign
land. I have been sent by you brothers
and sisters called Methodists so that we share together the burden, the work,
and the rewards.
I invite you to extend your support by entering
into a Covenant Relationship through supporting my Missionary Advance #3021390.
