From Dr. & Mrs. Mohamed-Ibrahim Yattara
Greetings to all,
Thanks again for your prayers and help and for all your numerous encouraging emails and phone calls. Fatouma and I were
overwhelmed by your love and concerns. Thanks.
By God’s grace Fatouma’s health is improving. She is still bedridden but with less pain. I also recovered very quickly from malaria,
cough and my emotional distress. God is good. I was also able to attend and lead the major meetings scheduled for the week.
1. The first meeting was a reception of grain from an NGO called Baguinda Corse.
2. The second meeting was with the minister of labor, employment and vocational training to receive certificates and some working
tools for 60 displaced young people who get training in carpentry, electricity, tiling and plumbing.

3. The third meeting was about the launching of a new ministry of Global Recordings Network. I am the president of the advisory board
of GRN in Mali. Thanks for your prayers. The meeting went very well with several church leaders of Bamako. Please continue to for the
team.
4. On Sunday, with great joy and thanksgiving, during the worship service, the church in Bamako in partnership with the Spirit of Caleb
and the Federation of Evangelical Baptist Churches, the Dougnon family was sent to Sevare as missionaries. Sevare is a very strategic
city. It’s the first major city you get into when coming form the North (560 kilometers from Gao and 640 from Bamako).

5. Please continue to pray for the displaced. The Lord is responding in marvelous ways to our many needs. We are grateful for your
help and support.
6. Please continue to pray as the displayed children are working very hard on a song and a play for Christmas for our national
television.
7. I request again your prayers for me and my family. Starting December 3, I am a guest speaker for a mission conference in Bamako.
From December 5 to 7, we will have the visit of the President of Faith Baptist Missions and Chris and Diane Marine.
From December 12 to 16 we will have the visit of Carlos Calderon, Lisa Jonas and Rene Mbongo from Partners International. Rene will
stay from December 17 to 21 to teach a module on leadership.
From December 27 to 30, I will be the guest speaker for the Fellowship of Evangelical Students of Mali on conflict and conflict
resolution. Your prayers are much needed and appreciated.
Grace and peace.
Dr. & Mrs. Mohamed-Ibrahim Yattara
