FW: Nigeria Prayer Update

Dear Prayer Partners

 

Our trip last week end was awesome as usual although we did have some trouble with the equipment, which delayed things but did not stop us. The team lead by Ibrahim also had a little trouble with some of the local people which the elders of the village settled in favor of the Lord. All together the 2 teams witnessed to over 1,100 people in 4 different villages with 753 of them being added to the Kingdom. The 2 villages that I was privileged to be in are on a road that I travel often, which will make follow-up easy, especially since there was also great interest in starting Bible Clubs there in Kaura.

Praise the Lord for the many that trusted Christ and that we can trust HIM for all of our needs as we serve HIM.

  

Last May a treacherous journey to a mountain village called Tukyeh was made by Word of Life Nigeria, members from our church along with some other ECWA churches in our area. Through Christian films, Preaching and door-to-door sharing there was 975 people that heard the Gospel and the Lord brought 428 of them into His Kingdom.  We were so thankful and praised the Lord for this great blessing and are now headed back to this village for follow-up this very weekend.

Pray for: safety as we travel, that the vehicle and equipment will function as needed, the many that trusted Christ have a hunger and thirst for the Word, our families at home will be secure in our absence and that those of us that are traveling will remain healthy.

 

Next week our Church will be doing evangelistic meetings in 4 different locations very close to our Church: Wed. – Favway, Thurs. -  Shehe, Fri. – Gut and Sat. – Top Rayfield. I was able to provide several hours of evangelistic training and follow-up  in preparation for both the Tukyeh trip this weekend and the meetings coming up next week which were very well attended by over 100 individuals in the area.

 

Pray  that the programs will go well and that the many that have had training will use these opportunities to lead family, friends and neighbors to the Lord.

 

May God bless you and keep you as you pray for us.
