From Phyllis

Dear friends and prayer partners,

This is a request for you to pray for peace and safety for Christians and

Muslims alike, in Nigeria.  Recent bombings in Abuja and statements

regarding eradicating Western-style education make us even more aware of our

need for God's special protection and intervention.

This Sunday, New Year's Day, the entire community of Emi-woro - Muslims,

Christians and a whole lot of pagans (!) will gather at Hope for Little

Shepherds school to pray for God's help in the year to come. For God's

peace, prosperity and protection over all of us.

Pastor Jacob, our new senior pastor at Emi-woro FM church will be

officiating.

Please pray that as we lift our hands together to the one true God, He will

strengthen bonds of friendship, understanding and cooperation between us so

that we can experience a year of joy, growth and new resolve to live in a

way that will honor God and please Him.

Thanks, and a Happy New Year to all of you, my friends!

God bless you.

Phyllis
