I visited Burkina Faso in West Africa in 2008 on a teaching mission. This sub-Saharan country is literally one of the poorest in the world. We stayed in the the capital Ouagadougou on our first night in the mission guest house. It is on the banks of a dry river - dry because the annual average rainfall is 14 inches. Unfortunately, it recently rained 14 inches overnight and the worst flooding in over 90 years has left over 100,000 homeless in Ouagadougou. The CMA missionaries we worked with are outstanding people and they are spearheading relief efforts. Take a look at the field director's blog and if you are moved to give, I can assure you it will be money well spent. Matt. 25:40.
