"Si la conduite au bord de l'espoir, et à la fosse de désespoir, accorde-moi la grâce de tomber dans Ses Bras." translated from a Puritan Prayer... "If driven to the verge of hope, and to the pit of despair, grant me the grace to fall into His arms."

Senator Inhofe Decries Ouatara's White House Meeting with Obama

Under the new rule of Alassane Ouatara, Ivorians are continually being terrorized, killed and displaced from their homes. Yet, President Obama invites him to visit the United States and welcomes him into the Oval Office this week. Here, Senator Inhofe speaks to Congress for the 10th time about the atrocities that are being committed in the Ivory Coast with the support of France and our own president Obama.

A Memorable Summer Gathering

On July 2nd, at Chisolm Park in Hurst, the servants of God from the Ivory Coast in Texas held the 2nd annual picnic. Ivorians from all over the state of Texas gathered with friends and family members for great food, worship, games, music and fellowship.

Here are some of the wonderful cooks that served us. They really sacrificed in the extreme heat!
                                 Esther Lepohe, an amazing cook with a smile!

Hillsong United Concert

My son, Travis, and Olivier recently had the opportunity to travel to Austin to attend a concert by Hillsong United. It was Olivier's first vacation here in the US and an amazing experience for both of them. http://hillsongunited.com/




After the concert, they stopped in at my parents' home in Salado to spend the night. Olivier had a chance to tour the town, swim, see the cows, and sit on a tractor. They celebrated Father's Day with my Dad and mom prepared a nice lunch after going to church services that morning. It will be a trip to remember! 










 They visited the home of my brother, Barry, and enjoyed a swim in his pool.



Happy Father's Day, Dad!
