Support for Churches
We support churches in Burkina Faso and Northern Ghana with training and education of pastors and student pastors. We also provide funds for the construction, upgrade and maintenance of church buildings. Past and present projects are listed below. Pastor Weda Prosper of Vie Nouvelle (New Life) Baptist Church in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, is a servant leader of all of our work with churches in Burkina Faso. He is compelled by his great love of God and love for his fellow citizens in Burkina Faso. His insights, diligence, and faithfulness are indispensable.
Friends of West Africa (FWA) is supporting a church and its pastor in the village Kougla, Burkina Faso. In May, 2024, tragedy struck, as the village was attacked by terrorists, leaving 7 dead, including a church official. The inhabitants of Kougla have abandoned the village and are now refugees in another Burkinabe town. Please consider providing funds to help support the displaced villagers in their time of need. Please send donations to: FWA, 2999 Delaware Ave., McComb. Mississippi, 39648.
