MISSIONARY HIGHLIGHT ______________________________________________ Bascom and Willie Brown West Africa

Please imagine you are going to West Africa as a missionary. Imagine all the things that would be different from your normal — language, climate — all sorts of things would be different. Now imagine going to West Africa as a missionary to Deaf people! Think how much harder your work would be. That’s exactly the work of Bascom Brown and his wife, Willie. They are supported through our Cooperative Program giving, and we want to pray for them today.

One day Bascom told a recently converted deaf man that he might face this kind of persecution. The man replied in sign language, “I will follow Jesus no matter what happens.” Bascom says they need many more believers like that. Today, can we pray for Bascom and Willie and that the Lord will raise up many new believers—both Deaf and hearing—who will be brave and serve Christ no matter what happens?

The two big non-Christian religions in West Africa are Spiritism, with witch doctors and evil spirits, and Islam.

When a West African comes to faith in Christ, his own family may disown him. Friends will have nothing to do with him. They might beat up or even kill the believer.
