(Ivory Coast)--Our newscast begins today in the
Ivory Coast where the Christian and Missionary Alliance
is reporting that violence in the area is increasing.
The mounting tensions touched their work when missionary
Amy Nehlsen was robbed and kidnapped at gunpoint
by five armed men. Although shaken, she was eventually
released unharmed. C&MA's David Westlake tells
us the effect of incidents like these on their outreach.
"Our work continues as always. I think probably
that the greatest effect that it has is just on
the individual missionary. It takes a greater degree
of perseverance to hang in there and continue to
minister when you know that things like this are
happening around you." Westlake encourages
people to pray for the missionaries working during
turbulent times. "I think we need to pray that
the stability that did exist in Cote d'Ivoire would
return...and, that there would be a sense of law
and order in the country for people to walk the
streets without fear."
January 26th 2001
Our newscast begins in the Ivory Coast where, following
months of unrest, the prime minister has formed
a new government. The new parliament in Ivory Coast
has met for the first time since the disputed recent
elections. The related riots forced the Evangelical
Baptist Mission to evacuate the student body and
staff at the International Christian Academy. EBM's
John Jackson says things have since stabilized.
"Politically, it has calmed right down, but
when there is turmoil, there is difficulties. All
of the 250 children, or so, have merged on the campus
again, missionaries have returned and school and
ministries are in 'full blow' again." Jackson
adds that as far as their work is concerned: "Our
team captain of our EBM team at ICA says: "...absolutely
no opposition or threat to our ministry, nor to
our travelling in Cote d'Ivoire; everything seems
to be back to normal, but that doesn't guarantee
tomorrow.""
December 7th 2000
Topping the news, an uneasy calm has settled over
the Ivory Coast, following two days of violent political
rioting. Evangelical Baptist Mission's John Jackson
says the pressure has been building toward a December
10th parliamentary election. Jackson says the danger
in the area has completely disrupted their work
at the International Christian Academy. "250
students from first grade to 12th were evacuated-taking
these children back to their families in West Africa,
Central Africa, some were evacuated back to the
States, until, presumably January 2nd, when they'll
open up the school." Despite the disruption,
Jackson is confident evangelism will continue. "That's
what all of us are there to do-is to train and mentor
the nationals so that they can take over and manage
the ministry under the direction of the Spirit of
God and the Word of God. Times like this, when our
missionaries return, whether it's Cote d'Ivoire,
or other countries, they're finding that the work
has progressed."
November 2nd 2000
We begin today in the Ivory Coast where Christians
are breathing a little easier after nearly a week
of unrest in that West African country. 57 people
were killed as socialist leader Laurent Gbagbo (bahg-boh)
was swept to power by a people's power revolt. Field
Leader with the Christian and Missionary Alliance
Wes Nevius (NEE-vee-uhs). "There were clashes
between Christians, that is Christians in name and
Muslims. One or our churches was broken into and
they took the benches out and burned the benches.
But, we thank the Lord that none of our Christian
workers were hurt in any way. The situation has
calmed down." Nevius is hoping the period of
unrest is over and that God will use C & MA
to lead people to Christ. "I think it's a great
opportunity for the church here in Cote d'Ivoire
to show the love of Jesus, especially to the Muslim
community. To preach and teach and live a message
of reconciliation."
July 18th 2000
Our newscast begins today in the Ivory Coast, where
financial and political tensions are building to
a tinderbox situation. As a direct result of the
money problems, and corrupt politicians, looting
has been rampant and there have been reports of
sporadic fighting and rioting. Evangelical Baptist
Mission's John Jackson explains how their missionaries
view the situation. "They are staying in, they
are not frightened; they're not scared. The field
director for Cote d'Ivoire must come to Abidjan,
and I was concerned about hijacking and he said
'No, that's not a problem.'" Jackson adds that
the effect has been minimal on evangelistic outreach.
"The Gospel is readily received. This last
year with International Christian Academy, we had
EBM teams that were leading the school and other
teachers in the E-E [Evangelism Explosion] program
in going out with videos out into the villages and
people were being truly born again and saved."
