Flexibility

Phyllis told us that there are 3 requirements for being a missionary.
Number one: flexibility. Number 2: flexibility. Number 3: flexibility.
Stephanie surely has what it takes to be a missionary! Imagine the Primary
4 teacher is sick and can't come to school. There is no substitute program
here in Nigeria, so the children were just going to - what, read books all
day? But Stephanie was working all week with the children who were still
waiting for a transition teacher, so she had a wonderful idea. She
partnered the Primary 4 kids with these very beginning students.
Revolutionary idea for our school! Guess what - the kids all loved it. I
think Steph had a lot of fun too. It's fun to see God stretching her. We
sense His pleasure.

Clement's finishing touch

Clement is such a great guy. Always going the extra mile, or in this case,
5 miles. He went on his motorcycle at 6 am to chop up a tree to beautify
our wheelchair giveaway.

Some of our favorite people

God really blessed us in Pastor Jacob and his wife Janet. They always seem
to show up at the right time with encouraging prayers - and pineapple. God
showed Pastor Jacob a vision of whites coming and doing a mighty work for
Him years before this mission began. When Jim an Phyllis started here, he
was like "oh, yeah, God showed me in a vision that there would be a mighty
work here." They are well connected, generous, gracious, and their timing
is amazing (comes from lots of practice listening to the Lord). We have
many testimonies about God's faithfulness through them.

Awesome guest Sunday school teachers

"If something is true, people are running from it. But if you find
something not true, not good, people are flocking that way."
