Story number 4 for 15 Aug 2001

(Ivory Coast)–Meanwhile, SIM missionary Jim Mason reports that nine-thousand pastors and church leaders in French-speaking Africa are now equipped with mini-libraries. The book sets have been distributed in connection with a series of training conferences, the last of which is scheduled for late August in the Ivory Coast. Participants contribute a small portion of the cost and the rest is paid by donations from Christians in sending countries. Please pray for the pastors in this area as they get the training they need to spread the Gospel.
