Excited and Ready
Well, my ticket is purchased, drugs are ordered, the Visa is in the works,
people have been contacted and are expecting my arrival and I am excited and
ready to go. I will be leaving February 15th to Nigeria for just over 3 weeks of
ministry including our usual clinics as well as several conferences and speaking
engagements. But most of all, I will be continuing the pursuit of obtaining
permission for land and the building of a clinic in the village of Yauiri. I
have had no news from Nigeria regarding any new developments about this so I am
expecting that there will be meetings with the main tribal chief for the area
when I get there. Please keep me in your prayers as I go about this endeavor
that God will give us favor and grace and prosper our way with this gentleman. I
have had dealings with him before and in fact, he is the same man who rescinded
the land given to us in Yale several years ago with the excuse that it was for
the expansion of the school. Well, the dilapidated school building is still
falling in on itself and the land where it was "expanding" is now part of the
new and expanded hospital built with the help of the World Health Organization
as I understand it. But that is ok, for even at the time he was taking it back I
felt peace that it was all part of God's perfect plan. Now, there is an
excitement and expectation of fulfillment that we have not had before regarding
the partnership with the Christians at Yauiri. I need your prayers!!
Faithful Partners
I also need your help. My ticket is more expensive then in the past as any of
you know who have traveled recently. As well, I am again obtaining drugs here to
carry to Nigeria since the villagers do not like the medicines from their
country. "They don't work," they told us. So there is still an outstanding need
of $2500 for this outreach. As always, your faithful giving and support blesses
us to continue to fulfill the work that God has called us to.
Your Servants In Christ,
