Visit to Benin, our Canaan

The team is ready to go to Benin, but there is just one small detail to resolve: the housing. 
We therefore decided to send two of us – as spies into our Canaan, Benin. 
It was decided that I would go with Daniel. The others remained in Lome to keep us in prayer. 
God has prepared angels to help us in our search. 
First, while we did not know where to stay, God had prepared a room with a Christian family where we would stay and eat for free. 
Then Pastor Boucari, who is pastor of a Baptist church, and Raymond, a member of his church, would transport and accompany us throughout our stay. The pastor is a friend of Pastor Bamouni who has been trained in our Bible school in Lome. 
We visited several houses and apartments, but we left having found nothing suitable. 
Nevertheless, as we told the rest of the team, Paul, Christine and Isabelle, where there is a giant in the land (housing), yet it is a land flowing with milk and honey. Indeed, we have had wonderful contacts. People prayed with us to receive Christ, and many times we were able to be a comfort and encouragement to several brothers and sisters. If you do not know, Benin is the cradle of voodoo. The country is steeped in this religion that makes people slaves of millions of small gods called fetishes; But today we can say that many Beninese desire to meet the true God who made heaven and earth.
We have been witnesses of that, and because of this we are assured that He who called us into this mission to Benin will take care of that little detail called housing.

Thank you for your prayers and for your support. 
May God bless you. 

P. Luigi, for the whole team
