WORLD Spring 2024

IVORY COAST MISSIONS FIELD REPORT
By Rev. Alain & Jada TANOH
Dear friend and supporter,
We are so excited to share this field report with you, highlighting many of the wonderful progress
we’ve made since last year. In general, our local pastors have been very busy advancing the
work on the field in our physical absence. We thank God for their dedication to the divine
work. We will now highlight to you 3 major areas of progress:
1. Overall, our Missions field has seen a remarkable improvement since the last part of the
previous year. We have connected with and brought on board Bishop Bohui Attaha
Jean Claude, who now serves as our executive leader for our local organization. We are
still in the process of merging our organizations and working together on the different
aspects, redundancies, and hiccups. We hope the process of merging to be done by
the end of the year.
Bishop BOHUI is the pastor of a large congregation and the leader of a group of local
networking churches. He leads a group of 50+ pastors that he has personally trained. He
emphasizes pastoral education and training. We are truly looking forward to our
collaboration in the long term. We introduced him to Director Kincaid in Joplin last year
when he came to visit us.
2. One of our most exciting news this season is the opening of our first international station in
Paris, France. Pastor Roger and his wife have been working with many of their former
church members who moved to France and who asked them to come and help them
start a permanent church in France. Currently, the group is meeting in a community
room they’ve been allowed to use for free in the beginning. What a miracle! Now after a
couple of months, they’ve been asked for 500 Euros a month. They looked for a place to
meet for more than a year before this one. We are currently trying to get Sister Hughette
(Pastor Roger’s wife) to stay 6 months at the time to solidify the work.
3. Lastly, we are celebrating our biggest answered prayer. On November 8, we received a
kidney transplant at the St. Louis University Hospital after 3 years on the waiting list. This is
truly a wonderful opportunity for a new start since our need for physical healing from
kidney failure has kept us from being as effective as we would like. We thank God for the
matching kidney, the successful surgery, and for the safe and slow recovery. I am
particularly thankful and grateful to God for blessing me with my beautiful and generous
wife who has always been on my side and donated one of her kidneys a couple of
months ago, so I can jump up to the top of the list. As always, we need prayers for
resources to make our dreams of planting at least 5 new churches every year a
reality. Thank you for your prayers and support. May God bless you in your own ministerial
endeavors.
