Cameroon in central Africa is one of the most ethnically complex countries with many sub-groups and dialects. There are 278 languages in Cameroon, which makes Bible translations very difficult. Only 10 languages have a complete Bible, and there are many unreached people groups. We know that Jesus will not return until His story is told to the entire world. What a day that will be when all people groups and all languages will hear about their Savior, Jesus Christ. Heaven and nature will rejoice!

Burkina Faso is a landlocked country between Mali and Niger in western Africa. One of the world’s poorest countries, it is prone to drought and famine. The spirit world is also very dominant here. The country is said to be 50% Muslim, 20% Christian, and 100% animist (belief in spirits). There are many physical and spiritual needs of the people, and the few missionaries are stretched. Pray that the dark spiritual hold will be lifted in this country with the light that is Jesus Christ.
