Our classes at IBB (Institute Biblique Bethel) are coming to an
end and Madame Silué, the coordinator and full time teacher of our women’s
classes mentioned that the ladies would like to learn how to bake a cake before
they will leave this year for their internships and some for their full time
ministries with their husbands. She asked me if I could help.
I have baked cakes, but I am not much into baking. I like to
cook and mix spices into a meal without a recipe and much measuring. But baking
asks for exactly measuring the ingredients and following a recipe. There are so
many ways of measurements. In Germany we measure by weight using a scale. In the
US we measure by quantity using cups and spoons.
We ended up using cups and spoons and the 19 ladies mixed dough
for about 12 lemon and chocolate cakes. It took a while to get them all baked
in one oven. But that gave us the time to hang out together and the kids
started singing and dancing. The house smelled wonderful and all the cakes turned
out perfectly. To God be the Glory!

Friday morning, we did a special closure of their whole
class year and invited the IBB administration and all the pastors’ wives in
Korhogo. Guess what we had for lunch on Friday?! Lots of cake with buttercream frosting and even some leftovers.

The
planning for next year’s women’s classes are already in full swing. We do need
more teachers as the women have different levels. One full time teacher doesn’t
cut it as you can imagine. If you would like to help to finance the salaries
for one more teacher and two to three ladies for the day care of about 15
little ones (mostly babies), here is a possibility: WOMEN'S BIBLE AND LEADERSHIPFORMATION AT IBB
