Praise God!! We arrived in Nigeria August 22. After a few days recovering from jet lag we returned to Abuja to retrieve some of our luggage that had not made it- including the water purifier we need in order to drink the water here.
The first few weeks seemed to go slowly as we were awaiting our house to be brought to livable condition. We moved in to no water or electricity, but it was home!! Then ministry really began to pick up, and we are busy home schooling Ryan and Sarah, and taking care of many other details, including immigration, getting drivers licenses, fixing things, buying food, fixing more things, witnessing.... think of how long things take to do in America, then multiply by 5- 10 times. Well, it's all good.
Meredith had malaria and was very sick for a few days, but in answer to prayer, God healed her and raised her up to be Bob's helpmeet once again. God's grace was sufficient and His power made perfect in weakness. He is faithful!
Please pray for our first evangelistic trip coming up October 13-15. We will spend two days at Bokkos, present the Gospel in film, preaching, music and puppetry; and spend time discipling new believers. Please pray for an abundant harvest to God's glory!!
Thank you for all your prayers and support. I hope to post some photographs soon, as it is difficult to convey in words how different it is here- both exciting and difficult things.
Blessings to all!!
