Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Dear Friends and Members of Bible Mission,

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Mrs. Heidi SANDE née FATZER, on May 22, 2024.

Our sister Heidi was a Bible Mission missionary in Côte d'Ivoire from 1979 to 2002. Heidi spent most of her life in Côte d'Ivoire.

She has seen her mission in Africa and has overseen various projects over the decades of her work in Côte d'Ivoire. She worked with the Centre Féminin de Man team on a project to teach young girls.

Heidi died suddenly in a tragic road accident on May 22, 2024. We and our African friends will miss her!

A religious vigil was held on Friday June 14 in Yamoussoukro, where Heidi and her husband Sandé live.

The body was laid to rest at 9am on Saturday June 15, 2024 at the Logbakro mortuary in Yamoussoukro.

A farewell ceremony was also held in Switzerland, on Saturday June 15, 2024 at 2pm at the Viva church, Hueber-Rebgarten 16, 8590 Romanshorn.

We are grateful to God for our sister's faithful commitment over the years.

We entrust his entire family to the Lord.
