In central Côte d'Ivoire, I saw a cross in the bush. Abandoned or nearly, it always marks the grave of a young missionary died of yellow fever in 1930. How many men and women did not leave their comfortable life to bring the Good News of Christ in a time when there was still no vaccines against tropical diseases, where there were no drugs for cure malaria? The cross of Jesus I have seen also in the faith of so many brothers and sisters: their love for the Lord, their enthusiasm, their songs, their faith in the face of danger or bad luck ... Behind the cross, Day breaks: A new day for the Gospel who wins hearts, transforms lives, enabling a better future. The cross of Christ is about contradiction: "foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are saved it is the power of God . (1 Corinthians 1: 18).
