Following my pastoral internship at Farakala in 1986, the nurse Juma Keita wrote me in 1995 to signal that the old church was repaired. We have formulated a new project: building a new church in durable materials. In Belgium we have collected funds: nearly € 12,500. In 1996 work began and the inauguration took place the following year. A beautiful church just a few dozen meters from the tar, clearly visible to all passersby. Like the "bumps" have the stomach particularly large, the traffic there going very slowly. But the real beauty are some 200 people involved every Sunday worship. Before they were only sixty. Caleb, the old pastor was discouraged. He died but his wife still alive saw the Fulfilment of his prayers, the Church has awakened, vibrant youth in the choir. Evangelistic campaigns were organized and many people were converted. If you're visiting, stop by and give my greetings: You're welcome! Farakala is located 37 km west of Sikasso, the tar to Bamako.
