"Brian, you said the best way to witness to the people is to come and see for yourself. Our lives have been changed and the people of Dodji have been changed also. The Adopt-A-Village program for our church has been a blessing. The ladies in our church have become close to the women in the village and the wives of the missionaries. We pray for the village and the Lord has blessed us to help the people of Dodji."

"Jack and Brian introduced the Adopt-A-Village program to our church and the congregation embraced it enthusiastically. Since 2002, we have developed a vibrant relationship with the people of Yawa, a village in Benin, approximately three hours (by road) from the capital of Cotonou. Over forty members of our church have visited Yawa through four separate trips, including a group comprised of health professionals who held workshops with the villagers to empower them to promote better health care among themselves."

"Since an initial visit to Benin, Africa, in July 2001, and seeing first hand that many villages lacked many basic needs, God moved me to adopt two villages for First Baptist Church Denbigh. Adoption of these villages meant that we would be committed to helping the villagers to have a better quality of life. During conversations with leaders of the villages, I learned that their most pressing needs were schools to educate their people and clean drinking water. Returning to my church congregation with the results of my visit and what I had committed to do, they readily agreed to helping the people of the villages."

"In 2002, I was exposed to the Reconciliation Ministry that was happening in the Republic of Benin. At the same time I heard about the Adopt-A-Village Program that was being initiated in that country also. In 2003 I recruited three small teams to go to Benin. One team went in June, another in August, and another in October. The June team was a general exposure group that specialized in prayer and intercession. The latter two teams were exposed to the Adopt-A-Village Program."
