Evangelism Explosion Conference (by Amanda)

As I sit here, listening to music on my computer and reflecting on the last couple of weeks, I am amazed at how fast time has gone by. Jeanette has come back to work with baby in tow, I've had lots of guests over (if you didn't know, that's unusual and unnatural for me), and I am still in Bambara studies four days a week in the mornings. As you can tell I have been really busy! I'd like to share everything, but time will only allow me to focus on one thing - a special week-long event that I attended in late May. I went to a Kid'’s Evangelism Explosion (EE) seminar and it was incredible.
I was invited to go by Pastor Christophe Dembele, whose wife is my language helper, and it was a great week. I met some wonderful women who live in the US and were our instructors. They obviously have a heart for God. I was so blessed by this conference; these women made the Bible come alive for all of us at the seminar even though they could speak little French. It was wonderful to be able to share the joy of God's salvation across language barriers and I was able to learn a simplified way of leading children to Christ in both English and French. I was also able to spend time with many other Christian women in the church, not to mention the added bonus of hearing lots of Bambara. Now my language helper and I are working on memorizing the verses in Bambara and we have a team of Christians committed to getting this program translated into Bambara so we will be able to share it with more children in Bamako.
I'd like to ask for your prayers in three areas: for this team as they are working on translating the information, for me as I memorize the scripture in Bambara, and for all the men and women who were at the seminar to go out and share what they have learned.
