Burkina Faso and Wales

Hi, I'm Keith. I'm English, and have been working in Burkina Faso in West Africa since 1989, but am currently on sabbatical back in Wales.

I've been working with the church there. One the one hand this has involved sharing the story and teaching of Jesus Christ, and helping those interested to find their way forward in his way. At the same time, I have inevitably been involved in various kinds of social work as well.

I've been living among the Fulani, as much as possible within the local community, and trying to find culturally appropriate ways of living and working.

I love it. Burkina has become my second home, and I hope to get back there asap. At my website, www.undertheacacias.org.uk, there is stuff about my work, stories and photos about life out there, and some discussion about issues concerning church, mission, and justice. My blog: http://www.voiceinthedesert.org.uk/keith/index.html tries to keep things up-to-date.

Cheers

Keith
