Kanoua – March 12-23
$3,450
The city of Kanoua is located in central Ivory Coast, just outside of the country’s second-largest city, Bouaké. Bouaké is home to the Baoulé people. The Baoulé are widely known for their warm hospitality and openness to outsiders. The city name Bouaké actually comes from two Baoulé words: “Boua” which means sheep and “ké” which means dry. For centuries, Bouaké was an important trade stop where the Jola people would dry and sell sheep skins. Today, many Baoulé are “dry” spiritually as they wait to hear about new life in Christ. We are excited about this opportunity to bring medical missions to Kanoua for the first time. We will be partnering with national Independent Baptist Pastor Kouamé and his young church plant. Join us for this amazing trip!
The place God calls you to is where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.
