Dear Ministry and Prayer Partners,
We are very thankful to be writing to you
from a new location--Cotonou, Benin. We arrived
the evening of January 23. We covered many
miles during those 2 days and the Lord's
protection through your prayers was evident
in many ways. We had little to no harassment
at the military and civilian checkpoints,
the border crossings were tense but nothing
out of the ordinary, no breakdowns, and no
carsickness. Thanks so much for your prayer
support during our travels. We have been
given the weekend to rest up from the journey.
Tomorrow, Monday, we will begin with meetings
that will better define our ministry here
and give us an overview of things to expect
in our new setting, also will be discussing
housing and business matters, and language
study.
Many of you have been waiting to send things
through the regular postal mail service and
we finally have a new address to send to
you:
Mission Baptiste' Meridionale
Guy & Cindy DeMars
01 B.P. 877
Recette Principale
Cotonou, Benin
West Africa
We would love to hear from you. As we mentioned
before, please do not send any attachments,
photos, etc. to our e-address. Our internet
access is much more limited than our last
place of service.
PRAYER REQUESTS
* Pray for another transition in our lives.
* Continue to pray for our health.
* Pray for the Grebo and the people of Ivory
Coast.
* Pray for the missionaries that remain in
Abidjan. We heard reports of riots today
in Abidjan.
In His Name,
Guy & Cindy DeMars
