So, we want through this camp that our children are also models in their ways of living as adolescents," he indicated.Pastor Foldjia Jonathan Ouoba, representative of the national president of SIM churches in Burkina Faso, was delighted with the mobilization and interest that adolescents have in the work of the Lord.'We have seen the teenagers very passionate and attached to the word of God and as a Pastor, this is only satisfaction. We all know that teenagers are the builders of the Church so we have the duty to supervise them, strengthen them and lead them to be the leaders of the church of tomorrow,' he said.At the end of this national camp, the teenagers will be equipped on the responsible use of new technologies.Source: Burkina Information Agency
