Latest Happenings at MBC

Bo and Michele Columbine minister and share Christ to Muslim communities throughout Senegal, using venues like the vocational school where Bo trains auto mechanics and the community center where Michele teaches English to women. In addition, Bo lends much support to a growing radio broadcasting ministry by helping to establish new stations, by transporting equipment, and by securing airtime from the government for Christian programming. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will bring a harvest of new believers and strong discipleship through the recordings in Wolof of Old Testament books and the Gospels as they are broadcasts on the radio stations.  

Some specific prayer requests from recent newsletters: 

• Pray for divine appointments as Bo and Pastor Amet travel to villages with Arabic Bibles; 

• Pray for the young man who is responsible for maintaining the six radio stations in Southern Senegal; 

• Pray that the Christian school teacher in Northern Senegal would be encouraged and strengthened in his faith as he shares Christ in a region where there are no churches or Christian fellowships for over fifty miles; 

• Pray for Badou, the first deaf student to attend Foyer Shama Auto and a strong believer in Christ; 

• Pray for Sidity, a Muslim who was learning English at a World Venture church plant, as he explores Christianity. 

At the end of June, the Columbines will be in the US for 7 months, based in Weymouth, MA. They are planning to participate in person at the MBC missions conference this October! 

Finally, the Columbines are asking for prayers as they close up their house in Senegal for the past 15+ years and transition to a smaller apartment when they return to Senegal in February of 2027. They will need to put all their belongings into storage before coming to the United States in June.
