Outreach Ministry

Located at the school property we have a room where people can come to read, listen to our Christian radio messages, ask questions and receive free materials. We have started to sponsor outreach ministries as an extension of this Leer Gi reading room which are sponsored by the Leer Gi Radio Project. On this page you find upcoming ministry outreaches, prayer needs and updates.

Spring 2010

Kids' Carnival Outreach

The Leer Gi Christian School in Saint-Louis finished it's second year in June of 2010 with about 45 students. On the last day of class we held a school wide carnival for the children. The Bible theme was David and Goliath; showing that it is possible to do anything with the help of God. Over 100 people attended the carnival including the friends and families of the students.

Please Pray

1. The word of the Lord would find a place in the hearts and minds of all those who attended.
2. The Lord would bless the teachers' efforts as they share the love of Christ with students everyday.
3. That these carnival outreaches would be a blessing to all who attend.

Senegal Ladies Retreat

In May 2010 the ladies of the Assemblies of God Churches around the country gathered together for a 3 day retreat. Bunking together in cabins on the beach, we rose early each morning to worship together as the sun rose. The days were filled with singing, dancing, praising and learning. It was a wonderful opportunity for me (Laura) to get to know women who live in towns and villages I rarely get to visit. It was a time of encouragement for all the Christian ladies that attended.

Please Pray:

1. Please pray for these hard working women who strive to live for Christ and share His love with their families, friends and neighbors.

Winter 2010

Ladies' Ministry

Ephesians 2:10 says, " For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (NIV) There are countless examples of women in the Bible who rose to the occasion and stepped boldly out to do the work of God. Women who trusted God above all else, using the talents and abilities that He gave to them. We had the previlage of traveling to Tambacounda in January to share these Bible stories with the women of the church. It was our hope to encourage them with these examples of women, such as Ruth, Martha, Ester, Debora and Tabitha. Women who used thier abilities for the glory of God.

Please Pray:

1. Pray that these ladies would be encouraged to continue serving the Lord with their whole hearts, using their unique talents to bless the Lord..
2. Pray that we will have the opportunity to minister to other women in the upcoming months.

The God Story

At New Years we were able to show “The God Story” in Wolof, on DVD projector. The film begins with the creation of the world and walks through the major events of the Pentateuch. There were about 75 people in attendance at the film, many of whom had previously viewed the “Jesus” film last Easter. We hope to continue showing Christian films as they become available in Wolof. Thank you for your support of this ministry. Please continue to pray that the Lord will speak to people through this media ministry.

Thank You

Thank you to the Women’s Ministry of South Side Assembly of God in Omaha, NE, for helping us purchase this DVD projector.

Please Pray:

1. Please pray that the Lord would use these Wolof films to touch people and plant the word of God in their hearts.

Fall 2009

ESL Courses

We continued teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) classes in November. We currently have 14 students. For Thanksgiving we invited all the students for dinner in our home. The Christian students gave a wonderful testimony of how God has blessed them. The next semester will begin in January 2010.

Please Pray:

1. Pray that many students would return for the next semester of classes.
2. That the classes would open doors of friendship and create bonds of trust with the people of the neighborhood.

River Baptism

A young man who has been attending the church for a year, and has helped get a mid-week cell group going, was baptized in May.  This was the first person baptized by the Saint-Louis church.

Having accepted the Lord a couple of years ago, the young man has been sharing his love of Christ with his fellow university students about how become a Christian has given his life purpose

Please Pray:

1. Pray for this young man as he continues with his studies and tries to share his love of Christ.
2. Pray for him to find direction for his life as he seeks the Lord's will for his future.
