Tiowa Diarra

The title of today's blog is a person's name. Tiowa is a priest working for an organisation called Tent makers International. He is the national representative for Mali in Africa and he is also the coordinator for all of Africa - important job or what. I came to know Tiowa as I intercepted a message from him to a Sudanese friend. Tent Makers seek to bring Christ to people at a grass roots level in their communities often working where there is no church at all.
Tiowa like all good leaders is restless in pursuit of his goals and as you will see from the web link above, if you scan the homepage, hosting an all African conference. At the moment he is preparing for a trip to a place called Brazzaville in Congo to set up more Tent makers groups. The photo shows the members of a training session held in Mali last year.

As usual Tiowa wants me to pray for him and his needs, it's my pleasure to do this. His other need is for partners in mission which is one area I cannot help him much beyond encouragement. There are practical things that Tiowa needs such as air fare or a van for the conference. If you feel that you can help Tiowa or would like to know more about his work with Tent Makers check out his website at this link . Even a few prayers of your own would be of great value to him.
