We've been living with the Djoula people for two weeks now and i personally feel as though we have become a part of the family. Moma Dou is very hospitable. He makes sure that we always get treated with the highest regard. If we start doing something that resembles work he makes sure someone else takes over. This past week has been rather interesting. We've started discussing how we want to go about with the water project in Cafe Tu. Its a difficult discussion because either projects are extremely expensive or they require to many steps for an Ivorian to care to try. First we need to test the well water in the area to make sure a water filtration project needs to take place at all. Continue to pray for this opportunity. A method that looks promising for this area is known as the SODIS method. SODIS uses PET plastic bottles to filter poor water. The bottles are placed in the sun where eventually the suns rays destroy any bacteria in the water. Pray that if we move forward with this process the people are willing to take part in it. It will probably take some convincing to even get the project going. Please surround it with your prayers.
Drew and I are doing well. The Ivory Coast is a completely different ballgame compared to missionary packed eastern Africa. Here in Abengourou there are two Christian missionary families. Both have been a huge blessing to us while we've been on the field. It has to be difficult for them being so few in a culture that needs so many. Again i ask that you pray for what is taking place here through these missionaries. Pray for their families and for their strength to keep the kingdom work going. Thank you so much for your support and prayers. I will update more information as we uncover more. Thanks for being such a blessing in my life.
In Christ love,
Cole
