FW: Nigerian update

 

Dear Prayer Partners,

As always, way more going on than I can even begin to tell about, but hope to get a good summary done next week of our first 3 months back home in Nigeria.  Next week in addition to my normal activities I will be kicking off new Bible Clubs for the children of indigenous missionaries, they now have 4 boarding schools around the country (since many of the remote villages where they serve do not have schools). We have been working with the one here in Jos over the last few years, providing daily devotional materials; but they have asked if we had more that would help the children grow spiritually, for which Word of Life Bible Clubs is the perfect tool.

We are headed out to southern Plateau today for Evangelism in two villages, Kopdashe & Ngras. This is very close to where we were in the beginning of the month and have to return to this area as the place we had hoped to go is experiencing problems. The 1st picture attached is just one of the groups of children that came for counseling last month (notice the roof is covered with drying ginger), the 2nd is at night during the salvation message with many accepting Christ. It is always an incredible blessing to spend time in these villages.

Meredith was on break this last week and was able to travel with me to Kaduna for some  speaking engagements. It was very hot, but Meredith & I enjoyed the ministry opportunities.  She will be staying home this weekend as she will be traveling with me again next weekend. I am so blessed to have such a wife that that endures so much for the sake of the ministry.

Pray for the vans and equipment to not disappoint us, safety and trouble free travel and that many will come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Pray for Meredith as well as she will remain behind.   

Part of His Workmanship
