To help a priest in his studies is to help evangelization.

Name: Amidou Ben Youssouf Bamba
Age: 30 years
Situation: Priest
Origin: Abidjan, Ivory Coast
Study: degree in Theology at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome.

I wish to continue my formation to become a good priest.

Amidou Ben Youssouf Bamba is a priest of the diocese of Yopougon, Ivory Coast. 

"To help a priest in his studies is to help evangelization, since those studies will serve to help, in a more specific way, the people of God.

My time of study in Rome, which is now beginning, is a help that my bishop wanted to give me so that I can have a better moral formation. Thus, when I return to my diocese, I will be able to better assist the Christians of my parish and in particular the Christian couples.

I am open to God's will."

"Thanks to your prayers, I am moving forward in my quest to be another Christ. In the same way, just as you help spiritually, you also help materially, because this would not be possible without people with generous hearts who think of the future of the Church. For this reason I thank you unconditionally for your charism of service, collaboration and availability.

May God bless the work you do in the Church, that it may be fruitful, and may he bless your personal work. For this is the cause from which will arise more acts of generosity in the world, more priests in the Church and more people dedicated by your example. I commend you to our Mother the Virgin Mary, daughter of God the Father, Mother of God the Son and Spouse of God the Holy Spirit".
