Can you believe that the only elephant in Abidjan is the one in the zoo (and our wooden friend on Cocody’s campus)? What did you expect (or not expect) to see when you came to Cote d’Ivoire? What surprised you the most?

If we were able to receive summer missions, GCU would be serving alongside of us this week. Although we wish this could be a reality, we are still praising the Lord for what He did through this group last year, check out Jack's testimony about being emboldened to share his faith, "A memory I always think of when I think of Côte d’Ivoire was our first day of ministry. I was a little bit nervous about talking with people and sharing the gospel. In that moment God talked to me and asked me if I trusted in Him? If I trusted that He would be with me and if He would speak through me? I was like of course I do. And He said then you don’t need to worry about it, because I’ll be right by your side.
Then I shared with a really large group and it was really awesome and the Holy Spirit spoke through me the whole time."
