Greetings Brothers & Sisters,
Our trip to Nigeria was long and tiring with no troubles and all of our luggage arrived with us. We reached our home at about 1pm on Thurs. (8am your time) and have already readjusted to time difference. We spent the day Friday exchanging money, buying groceries and trying to get everything around the house back in line with us being home. Today we tried to finish up getting things squared away including getting the internet going so we could send out a prayer update.
Friday also included a brief meeting with the planning committee for the 3rd annual youth/children camp in our area. We will spend several hours on Monday finalizing the details for the camp. Camp counselor training will hold on the 6-8th and camp will take place from the 10th through the 15th. We will also need to spend several hours this next week with bringing staff, interns & volunteers up to date with the exciting changes with the Word of Life Club materials. This month also includes hundreds of man hours with all able and available hands involved with contextualization of the Bible Club lessons. Before the end of this month we will need to pray and tentatively lay out our plans for the coming dry season months of evangelism.
Meredith returns to Hillcrest School on Monday to prepare for the first day of school on Thursday. Please pray that God will supply the one elementary teacher they are still needing; the principal and special needs teacher will be filling in and it will mean a lot of extra work for everyone. Still Meredith remains excited about the coming school year and praying for her students!
God Bless you and encourage you as you do us.
Bob & Meredith DeVoe
