Kadiandougou is a village of a thousand inhabitants, 7 km from the tar. I was there whenever I was passing through Farakala since 1986. I sympathized with Tinzanga, a rescue worker, who sought the God of the Gospel but remained attached to their ancestral traditions. He died a few years ago, in 2002 I presented my condolences to his father, became head of the village. On this occasion, we screened the movie "Jesus" without the people decide. On Friday, February 25, 2005, we came to greet people and we were welcomed with a meal offered by the authorities. The choir of the Church of Farakala arrived while we ate and started to sing on the big cleared space near a huge fromagier (a tree!). We had brought a generator: and we had a neon lamp as the only lighting and a microphone. The choir sang for at least an hour and a half, there were currently 400 people many of us around. We saw them do that just because night had fallen. Other people could hear everything in their boxes. Pastor Zephaniah thanked the village for their hospitality enjoyed, introduced me as the visitor from far away, beyond the desert and the sea I preached on the resurrection of Jairus's daughter by Jesus. Pastor Ely, a native of Farakala, translated the message Senufo, the language spoken in the region. At the end of the message, the pastor invited all Zephaniah people to turn to Jesus Christ. Many people have been affected: 175 people, mostly children and youth, also a lot of moms and even two old people have expressed their desire to receive the Savior in their heart to start a new life. In the photo, you see the choir singing and dancing round the village on the background. The picture quality is poor: the tasks are due to dust. But what the atmosphere, mainly: what grace that night. Just for this evening, it was worth coming to Mali!
