Several from our church did an evangelistic outreach and survey of a village in our division that we have never visited. Bangolan is about an hour plus away from here and would seem to be inaccessible by car in the event of a heavy rain shower. The road in spots was destroyed from last years rain but was easily passable in the dry season. One bridge had collapsed (and a house nearby as well), and the planks on the temporary bridge were very insecure even coming up and banging on our car!
The village itself is composed of Islam, African Tradition, Baptists, Presbyterians, Catholics, and others. The people were very careful to make sure we were not JW's before they would even speak to us! We met some in the palace, a pastor, medical workers, students, taxi drivers, motorcycle guys, and market workers.
The people enthusiastically received the New Testaments we brought, and we distributed about 1,000 of them. Here are a few pictures.
