@SahelAlerte bbc.com/news/articles/… this article from yesterday seems to say opposite. Which narrative is true?

🇲🇱🤝🇺🇸 Le Mali sollicite l’appui des États-Unis contre le terrorisme au Sahel. Washington pose deux conditions : retour à l’ordre constitutionnel et fin du contrat avec les mercenaires russes d'africa Africa Corps.

Received this heartbreaking video today of displaced peoples flooding into Niamey with only what they could carry when they fled. Pray for Niger

@timburchett We have called Niger home for 20 years as we’ve led a ministry trying to bring hope in a dark and difficult place. No, it’s not a vacation location or a nice place in any objective sense. But it is a place that needs the hope of the Good News of the Gospel.

Honey we have to change our vacation plans.

A week of tears, heartbreak and hopefully not too long see you laters. Trusting behind the frowning providence He hides a smiling face. Praying it won’t be long until we can get back home to our church, our team and the friends we love so much.

@whaun Yes!

@markandparx Always bugged my how the French print their spines upside down.

Wow! What a day!

@PaulPabst please tell me y’all saw the Flacco shirt getting some screen time on CBS

What a joy to see Église Li Hanbili birthed today! Our prayer from day one at Église Gomni has been that God would use us to plant more churches! That prayer was answered today!

Just had my last training/meeting with the church planting team from our church tonight. They will officially covenant together next Sunday for their first service as a new church!

@whaun My experience has been the ipnohe has more memory but the iphonre has a better battery life

Decisions, decisions 🧐 which is the better brand? iPnohe or iPhonre? 😂🤣

Becoming one of my favorite times during the week: investing in the men of our church.

We began a leadership development training tonight with men and young men in our church. Excited to see how the Lord uses these men to serve His church!

JC (known by everyone in our neighborhood as Yousef) started a small business with his buddies selling kool-aid drinks. They’d wash the bottles, mix the drinks and walk around with a cooler in a wheelbarrow. As an early birthday gift and thanks to uncle Idrissa he got an upgrade!

Grateful for church members with skill sets! Gérard teaching our youth some useful carpentry skills today!

1st day of 6th and 3rd grade in the books!

This young man had lived his whole life never hearing the gospel until a few months ago. Now he is a new creation in Christ! The joy of the new birth!

Blessed Lord’s day

@_lrhughes Is there another way?

Anyone still make popcorn this way?

@VirgilWalkerOMA It seems an unwillingness to apply the sufficiency of scripture to every area of life, church and ministry is the root of all other matters. I’m shocked by those who’d even give lip service to upholding this yet often bow the knee to pragmatism

The church’s greatest enemy isn’t the world, it’s weak doctrine. The church fears the world. But its real enemy is weak doctrine. The early church thrived under persecution because it stood firm. Today, churches fear offending people more than offending God. If your church avoids doctrine, it has already surrendered. What’s the biggest doctrinal compromise in churches today?

Grateful for @9Marks and their desire to see healthy churches among the nations
