Diessirima Sawadogo

I was born on August 7th, 1945. 

My parents used to worship idols

In 1960, I went to secondary school. In that school the Word of God was taught every day and I received Jesus Christ as my Savior and my Lord.

After that I became a teacher in primaries schools for nine years. As a teacher I had the opportunity to teach the Word of God to the students. Many of them were saved.

Then the Lord called me to plainly serve him. I accepted my call. God opened the way for me. I studied bible subjects in a bible school in France for two years (1974-1976).

I became an assistant pastor in the central church of Kaya in Burkina Faso . At that time, I started a new church at Boussouma, a village close to Kaya on the way going to Ouagadougou .

After that, the National Church sent me to Nagbangre (Koubri) Bible school as a teacher since September 1978 on.

I am married. My wife is named Dorcas. Her father was a pastor.

We have nine children: four daughters and five sons. All of them are saved by the Lord Jesus Christ.

We have eight grandchildren: four girls and four boys.
