C’est moi! C’est moi!
Picture four Ivorian college students raising their hands
and saying the phrase above after I had asked, “Who wants to become the leader
for Campus Pour Christ at this school?” Just an hour earlier, another young man
had raised his hand confidently amidst a group of peers in response to the same
question. The four mentioned previously were standing in a group as well,
beside two young men who had just prayed to receive Jesus as their King. These
have been the common stories for our team over the past two months. After
visiting over half of the 190 campuses in the country we have embarked on a
journey to find “Key Volunteers” at each school who will lead the movement for
Christ. Narcisse is another young man who I met at CIFEC and the next week he
had shared the gospel with four other students. He has since come to our
national prayer meeting and a Christmas party. We have found these Key
Volunteers on 24 campuses thus far and search for more continually! Please stop
and pray that God would continue to connect us with them!
Go North
We had the chance to travel to another city, Daloa, the first week of December. There are five universities there. The team last year was able to connect with two students, Armel and Arnaud, who expressed that they wanted to not only reach their own campus, but the other four in the city!
In the 3 1/2 days we spent in Daloa, we shared the gospel
184 times and saw 64 students indicate a decision to follow Christ. This is
praiseworthy and the truly encouraging news is that we found Key Volunteers on
each of the four other schools! They will be able to reach infinitely more than
we are able in our week long trips.
Armel and Arnaud will begin coaching these students to reach
their peers all over the city. Pray for all of them to bear fruit and stay
encouraged in the faith.
Prayer Requests
- We are hosting a Medical Mission this summer for the second time. Pray for details as we implement new outreaches and maybe even do surgeries!
- Pray for the Key Volunteers we find. Pray they own the vision and begin to multiply the gospel on their campuses. Pray for energy to press on as we coach many students and it’s only getting hotter here!
HOW CAN WE PRAY FOR YOU? FILL OUT THE FORM TO THE RIGHT AND LET US KNOW!

Aiden’s personality has begun to blossom. He can repeat the
words “bubbles, ““crackers” & “night night” and is unfortunately quite
adept at utilizing the word “no.” But he is overtly friendly as he waves at
every person he passes.

We’ve hosted two Christmas parties. One with children from
an orphanage we visit and the other with all the Ivorian Cru staff and student
leaders.
