40 Days of Prayer

Please join us in prayer for the next 40 days. We will be praying daily for our ministry and financial needs here in Burkina. We are asking the Lord to provide $40,000 in the next 40 days. We will be fasting every Monday during this time. Please join us in fasting as well. Even if you are not one that can give up food for a day, what about a meal? We know that prayer is the very core and essential to the work God has for us here.  See below our follow up newsletter...

As Chris and I were praying this morning about our financial support, Chris stated that he does not want to be a salesman or feel like a salesman. Most missionaries will tell you that writing support letters and asking for money is so hard and so humbling! We ourselves feel nickeled and dimed all the time, and realize that our friends and families back in the U.S. are in the midst of a recession and many of you are trying to make ends meet. With that said and acknowledged, the reality of the matter is that God has called us to Burkina and He is asking for our church family and friends to invest into what HE has planned for people of Burkina. We are compelled to press through the discomfort we feel in asking and be obedient to what we know He has called us to do- serve the people of Burkina and ask our friends back home to partner with us in this mission in prayer and through finances. Because we know that God has called us here and has made the way, we unashamedly tell you that we need your help and investment!


We still have quite a bit of money that needs to be raised. Our church has been very gracious to our mission and out of our Christmas gift offering gave 15,000 towards the container that was sent with ministry supplies and our personal affects. They also gave an additional $30,000 towards our ministry/operating budget here on the field. Our budget here less ministry projects is $7300.00 per month, which was set by our sending agency after they analyzed exchange rates, fees, and the outrageous cost of electricity and groceries in Burkina for a family of seven. We were shocked to learn that electricity here is the most expensive in the world, and groceries are three times the price of what we have in America for a less quality product. Though it is very expensive to live here, we feel it is vital for a family to be here year round as it will enable West Ridge and the local missionary team here to double if not triple the ministry that will take place.

What are we asking?

We are praying for $40,000 in 40 Days

We need monthly supporters and one-time donations. Please pray about supporting us monthly or with a onetime donation! We are praying and believing that we will have $40,000 in cash or commitments in 40 days. Right now we have $3190.00 pledge towards our monthly budget of $7300.00 We need the remainder of this money pledged or given so that we can continue to invest into the people of Burkina. Will you partner with us?

If God has prompted your heart, we would love to get you all the information you need to make this happen. Please scroll down to the next page for donation and commitment instructions!

We are blessed and humbled and so appreciate your investment into God's work in Burkina and into our family! We covet your prayers for our family and for the people of Burkina!

With love,

Chris, Connie, Samuel, Noah, Silas, Isabella, Gabriella
