Equipping Sunday School Teachers and a Bible School teacher.

Dorothy grew up in Melfort, Sk. and became a Christian at 5 yrs of age.

When she was 10 years old, God called her to be a missionary.  She attended  Bible School in Eston, SK. for three years and then worked there for ten years in the kitchen, studied French and took several Mission Classes, Christian Education Courses and Child Evangelism Courses.

Ministry: In 1982 she became full-time missionary in Africa. She teaches Bible School, trains children’s Sunday School teachers along with her full time co-worker, Pascal, in seven different districts.  She is affiliated with the Apostolic Church of Pentecost.  She will also be teaching at the Bible School again, when classes begin in October.

Challenges:

1. Need for wisdom in training teachers and recruiting new Sunday School teachers.  The value of children’s ministry in Burkina Faso is just beginning to be recognized so we need a real vision for people to dedicate themselves to this ministry.  There are 7 million children in Burkina and very few who are learning about Jesus.

2. Need for wisdom to know how to communicate wisely and to be able to work with the Africans with love, grace and humility-that people would come to know Jesus as their Personal Savior.
