Time flies

when you are having a good time and are busy at the same time. I have had the opportunity to preach three times and tomorrow I am asked to pray for the graduating students at the Lutheran Bible school graduation. Last Sunday we worshiped at Worro a small village where Evangelist Obediah is placed. They were having a send off for him since he has taken a position in a village near Abuja (Nigeria’s Capital). Obediah has served in Niger State among the Av’adi people for 15 years. He will be missed for his positive attitude and his energetic work. I include pictures and video from the send off.

The United Missionary Church Pastor preached at the send off

He preached from I Timothy 3 and parts of chapter 4 commending Obediah on his deligence in his work and the good example he set for the CRCN. Most people would agree that Obediah built up the church and Christians in Classis Niger.

Some of the crowd. People came from all over.

Everyone was having a good time singing during the service.

Everyone would rather that Obediah and family would stay!

At his new place Obediah will be only four hours from his home on the Plateau (near Jos) compared to 11 or 12 from here.

Obediah, Briskilla and family dressed for the occasion.
Everyone is having a good time dancing.

We all enjoyed the worship, fellowship, and the food. I left home at 9:30 AM and arrived back at 4:00 PM, it was a full day! We were blessed and thankful to send this faithful evangelist on his way to his new position. Praise God!

  1. Thanks for the update.
    Bloom where you are planted, eh?
    Glad that the Lord is using you in mighty ways and that time flies πŸ™‚ May He give you strength for His work each day as you meet the day’s challenges.
