A Church Planter in Need of Help

I recieved this email from a friend who is in Africa. If you can please help do so.

Dear Pastor Mike,

Greetings from Gabu, in Guinea Bissau in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I’m sending this email to ask for your support in building a church in a Fulani village.
(Pastor Lusio with his pulpit under the trees) It begins with a young man who was our day guard on our base in 2007. Later he was interested of doing a Discipleship Training School (DTS). After his school he went back to his village and start sharing his faith with his family and other village members. Some of converts have been baptize, now he has started his small church under the cashew trees from five members and to 30 members. Rainy season is big challenge for this church under the trees.

The challenge I’m presenting to your mission board and the church members if you prayerfully consider supporting the building of this church. We already made 1,500 dubi blocks (cement mix with mud). The total cost to build this church from foundation, walls, cement flooring, beams, and roofing is $6,000

I hope to hear from you in your consideration of blessings the Fulani and Balanta Village.

For the Cross,
