Sagar
Pastoral Ministry, Serving the Pastors of India
At 36 years of age and with 12 years of active ministry in India, Sagar has a passion to reach out to the pastors in India who do not have enough resources to receive formal 
theological training. With very few resources, many pastors in India gather their theology from traditional teachings and tele-evangelists resulting in teachings that pollute the Gospel and give false hope. He has a burden because he was one among those who had a passion but not privileged enough to attend seminary until 2013. Your prayers and financial support will allow Sagar to provide theological training that is grounded in Biblical principles so that those who hear may respond to the Truth and become authentic disciples of Christ.

Remembering Vicki Cockrum Waters
April 17, 1954 - October 31, 2021
Missionary, Served the People in the horn of Africa
Vicki was born to missionary parents i
n Obomosho, Nigeria. Leaving at age 11, the call to serve as a missionary never left her and she returned to Africa in 2014. At age 60, Vicki took her talents and skills and operated a children's medical clinic in an area where health services were greatly under-resourced. To quote one of her children "This is what obedience looks like. It doesn't matter your age, skill set, education-level or past, Jesus can use anyone that is obedient to further His Kingdom." Vicki continues to be an example and an inspiration. We miss you Vicki!
Our Friend Dr. Ken Elliott
Note: Dr. Ken Elliot returned safely home to his family in Austrailia on May 19, 2023. Dr. Elliot was kdnapped on January 16, 2016 by al-Qaada militants and spent more than seven years in captivity. We are thankful for his safe return.
When you look at a map of West Africa, Burkina Faso is nestled between Mali and Niger to the north and Ivory Coast to the south. Djibo lies on the eastern edge of the dry, dusty Sahel Region of this small African Nation. This remote town was home to the friends of Burkina Faso Medical Clinic. The clinic/hospital served the northern region of the country, and people traveled for treatment and surgery from as far away as Ivory Coast. The clinic was build by Dr. Ken Elliot and his wife Jocelyn. Dr. Elliot practiced medicine, more specifically, surgery, in Djibo for 40 years. In obedience to God's direction, Ken and Jocelyn left their family in Australia, and raised their children to enhance the lives of people in this region. In peak seasons of the year, Dr. Elliot preformed 150 surgeries per month and the 120 bed facility stayed at capacity. The hospital operated by faith (without outside financial support) for over 40 years.
Dr. Elliot commented on our visit in 2014, "I believe this clinic is here because God loves people".
