DeVoted to Nigeria

DeVoted to Nigeria
"Do something so big for God that it's destined to fail without Him."
The person I heard this from couldn't recall who said it; but this saying has ignited me lately. Because that is what I feel we are doing!

Our departure date for Nigeria is AUGUST 16, 2006. I am confident that we will be going on that date- but it still takes a lot of faith to believe it!

We still need 37% of our monthly support, and are seeking 400 more prayer partners as well. We are leaning hard on God for these right now. Please pray for us!! To go to Nigeria is a BIG thing- but not too big for God!!

Ruth, Habibu, and the sewing and knitting machines
The AWANA club of our sending church, First Baptist of Johnson City, bought sewing and knitting machines for the new Fulani church in Mallam Fatori. Habibu is the pastor of this church, which was planted in response to the many salvation decisions in that village during evangelistic campaigns last dry season. The machines will be used as an outreach tool to the community, and to provide income for Pastor and Ruth. Please pray for this church. The 50 Fulani converts who are part of the church face persecution and ostracization for their new faith.
