The route we plan on taking in order to achieve this vision is this. We plan to plant local churches in Sassandra near the prison and in the neighboring villages. There, we will work with the church and in the prison and with the families of the prisoners who come to help their men. Our goal is to have Bible studies in the prison, getting the prisoners saved and growing. We also plan on hold children’s classes in the villages surrounding Sassandra; in the long run, possibly even opening an orphanage or children’s home. Out of the prison and children’s ministries and local churches, we pray that God will save and raise up men and women who can carry on and take over these ministries and also spread the gospel back to their villages and towns. Some of those in the prison are even from other countries. We will very likely also work on learning a local tribal language while in Sassandra. This will enable us to minister at a deeper level than speaking only French. The mother tongue is a powerful tool to reach the hearts of people. In Côte d’Ivoire there are somewhere around 78 different languages.
