EYE ON THE WOLOF
Jonathan Bornman writes from Senegal: Pray for the Church
Planting Commission. We want to help existing Senegalese
churches catch a vision for planting Wolof churches and to make
their outreach more effective. We are planning to put together a
team that will do presentations in existing churches. Pray for
unity as we work together, and that we will work in step with the
Holy Spirit.
