The entire Walk in the Light team would like love to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We invite you to join us in giving a Christmas gift and a year end gift that will impact the children, families, villages, and entire nation of Burkina Faso - each dollar given helps us bless the people we work with.
As we celebrate Jesus this season, we recall Matthew 25:34-40;
"And the king will answer and say to them, Assuredly I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me."
The best way to celebrate Jesus is to give and to give to those in need!!
Village Christmas Celebration
Every year at Christmas time, our schools in all three villages host a Christmas Feast! The feasts are open and free for the entire village to attend. For only $30, one family can eat, enjoy music and dancing, receive a child's gift, and hear the Gospel!
Give a Gift to the Kids
This year we have three secondary school 7-10th graders in three villages. We are excited to continue our legacy of the best schools in the nation! We want to open a computer lab in each of our three secondary schools and our high school in Rialo; each lab consists of five computers. The kids will be on rotation to learn how to use a computer, type, and operate basic Microsoft programs.
Feed Our 1600 Kids for the School Year
Disciple the Kids
Discipling the kids is what WITLI is all about! To have more intentional time with the kids, we are expanding our discipleship program to add an after-school program on Thursday and Saturday. We will be providing another meal for the kids who stay as a way to not only care for them, but also to encourage more kids to participate. All three villages combined will cost $1000 per month; our goal is have the 2021-2022 school year funded by the end of this year!
Give a Gift to Our Teachers
Our teachers are like missionaries; they are not from the villages the serve in. Then they join the team, they move out to the village and serve as teachers and pastors to the children. We provide housing for them and desire to take good care of them. Ten teachers need their houses repainted; each house costs $550.
Give Towards Education
We have various urgent, education development projects in the works. These include, electricity, toilets, paperwork, administration building, school building painting and maintenance.
Give Towards Our Ministry Fund
Give Towards Our Refugee Fund & Church Planting Fund Through Light of Nations
Each month, we help hundreds of refugees from war in North Burkina with various needs; food, clothes, and resources. We do monthly crusades and are building a church in Ouagadougou. The church will be an equipping center for our School of Ministry. The school will be raising up and sending pastors throughout the country of Burkina Faso!
