The “Good News” and presenting the “Good News” is about relationships. “For you know that we dealt with you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting, and urging you to live a life worthy of God who calls you into his kingdom and glory..” I Thess. 2:11,12

Dear Everyone,
As we reflect on our four month stay with the people of Niger State, Nigeria we thank God for you. We thank you for praying for us and supporting us; this trip would not have been possible without your love. We had the privilege of encouraging the 25 families attending the Warari Bible School, the teachers, the pastors, evangelists and their wives working in churches and preaching centers. We encouraged them with medical help and training, with the TLTI * “Stewardship” and “Biblical Preaching” courses and for the male students a Sermon Delivery class. This time the pastors, evangelists and their wives came to us at the Warari Bible School one day a week from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM for the continuing education courses. The rest of the four days we spent teaching the students at the school.
It was an amazing four months filled with building relationships, much work, hot weather, treating sick children some with complications of measles who did not recover, treating adults, teaching, and basic medical training; it all adds up to four months of God’s amazing grace and blessings to them and to us. We trust you had the opportunity to experience this trip with us at heavenhigh.org.
Classis Niger is the only place where CRWM is participating along with the *CRCN in grass roots evangelism in Nigeria. There is great potential for a vibrant church; three tribes comprising of about 500,000 people are now beginning to turn to Christ and there are great challenges. Areas of need are spiritual and church development, theological training, stewardship and educational opportunities.
Thank you again, we are counting on you for next year (2012) when we hope to develop the primary school for the Bible School student’s children, and teach “Gods Plan for Sustainable Development” and “Preventing Violence in the Family” as continuing education for pastors, evangelists and their wives.
Continue to pray for the people of Niger State and the emerging church. God is Good!
