Back in Nigeria

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 3^rd 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 6-8^th and camp will take place from the 10^th through the 15^th.   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.

Nigerian update

Hello to all of you who have been praying,

 

I had spoken in our last prayer update that we did not have the needed green cards to get back into Nigeria. Rejoice with us that we have received them and our flight on the 28^th is a go. We leave Syracuse NY at 10:30 am and land in Abuja Nigeria on the 29^th at 4:30 pm will drive up to Jos on the 30^th. So pray for safe travels and for our luggage to arrive with us. In Nigeria they do not deliver your delayed luggage you have to go back to the airport to get it once it comes. Do continue to pray, as our Green Cards expire in Oct and the quota they are issued under was not renewed so we are not out of  the woods yet and do need  prayer for the paper work that allows us to live and serve in Nigeria.  There has also been some Boko Haram trouble in Jos this past few weeks so continue to pray that the President’s campaign to bring the insecurity to its end will succeed.  We truly do regret that in our short stay here in the States we were not able to see everyone, but know we will make every effort to see you in 2017 when we will be here for 6 months.

 

God Bless you for your prayers and  support.

May Prayer letter

Good morning Brothers & Sisters in Christ,

 

I refused to leave the office yesterday until I had composed the attached prayer letter. Which I hope encourages you as well as motivates you still more to pray. In addition to praying for our safety and fruitful ministry this weekend,  please also pray for the fuel shortage we are experiencing. It has driven up the price and created long lines as well as caused our electricity supply to fall to less than an hour a day. Pray also for Meredith who remains at home this weekend as I am out with evangelism & again next week as I am doing a 4 day training in Kaduna.

 

May or Lord bless you as you bless us

Bob & Meredith DeVoe
