Dear Prayer Partners,
Attached is our most recent prayer letter, there is much to rejoice over but also much to pray about. We are headed out for the first of 4 weekends in a row for evangelism so pray for safety and souls.
God Bless each of you as you bless us
Bob & Meredith
Dear Prayer Partners,
With the rainy season coming to a close our evangelism efforts to the rural areas of Nigeria are starting up again. This weekend there will be 3 teams headed out to villages in Southern Kaduna. Our traditional efforts are headed to Kurmin Ruwa & Katung Dashi. The third team is headed to Kabene and the Surubru People, we have some community health workers going with us to add a medical dimension to this outreach. The third team which I am with was the vision of a fellow church member, Sarah Mavaria and it is her village we are going to. Although these trips are one of my favorite parts of the ministry here in Nigeria there is much to pray about, and can be physically draining.
· Travel mercies in dealing with bad roads, indiscriminate checkpoints and reckless drivers.
· Vehicles and equipment to function as we hope and expect them to.
· Openness & interest to the Gospel in the communities we are headed to.
· The Holy Spirits work in the hearts of those we minister to.
· Follow up of the new believers through local missionaries & pastors along with our efforts.
· Family members we all leave behind, and personal safety for everyone.
· Specifically pray for Meredith to enjoy the quite weekend home alone.
· A true ending to the Boko Haram crisis that has turned Nigeria into a very different place
When I get home Sunday I am headed right into a week of camp training for over 50 nationals, with the hope of them running camps in their various States.
Thank you so much for you prayers and support , Bob & Meredith DeVoe
Dear Prayer Partners,
Just a quick note to let everyone know the 3 of us, Meredith, myself & Stephen are home in Nigeria. We arrived at the Liberian airport by 3pm Friday, had to spend the night in the airport At Ghana having a number of problems with immigration and our original airline. We left Ghana over 2 hours late, landed in Abuja and drove to Jos reaching home around 5pm. It was a difficult experience but we are thankful for your prayers and for the Lord allowing us to finally reach home.
Bob
Dear Prayer Partners,
We want to thank the many of you who have been praying for us and ask that you continue to pray. Lord willing we leave Liberia this evening at 6:30 pm for Accra Ghana & tomorrow morning we leave Accra at 6:30 am for Abuja Nigeria, from there it’s about four hours drive to our home in Jos.
I would also ask that you pray for the two Americans who continue their battle to fight off the deadly Ebola virus in Monrovia, Liberia. Dr. Kent Brantly and Mrs. Nancy Writebol, who serve on a joint team of people with Samaritan’s Purse and SIM. Each is receiving around-the-clock medical care. Pray for peace of mind and strength of spirit for these two individuals and their families. Pray that their treatment will be effective in arresting the disease and protection for all staff continuing to treat those suffering from Ebola. Pray for the many other patients that are also fighting for their lives in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Pray that all of West Africa takes the necessary and proper precautions to prevent the spread of Ebola.
We will be sure to let you all know once we reach home.
Meredith, Bob & Stephen Bahago.
