We are looking forward to the Christmas break.

World Missions will be sending prayer cards, a thank you, and a prayer letter to all those who have contributed to our stay at the Warari Bible School.  Our financial report is always a month behind so we are not able to thank people in a timely manner but we are very thankful for your generous gifts. We have been at work here for about a month and  are extremely blessed to be teaching at the Bible School.

The bougainvillea are stunning this year.

We have chapel first thing in the morning because this week is final exam week for this term and we will have a month break before classes begin again. There will be plenty of work at the school some of it electrical and some construction.

Gremar returning from class with the help of one of the kids.
No more laundry by hand, Gremar using her slightly used Speed Queen, what a difference it makes.
Time to service the swamp cooler, we will be using it soon.

We plan to stay here for Christmas and New Year. Already two goats are purchased for a Christmas meal and we plan to get a pig for New Years. I will be starting a TLT class after the New Year as continuing ed. for  pastors and evangelists and their wives that will last for about four months if we set aside one day a week. The students are busy gathering their crops. the rice is harvested, the guinea corn is being gathered.

Helping students to take home their rice.
The grain is cut, put in rows and the end is propped up to allow air flow to speed up drying time.
After drying in the row the heads are cut and stacked on top for a few more days they are then tied into bundles and taken home. Often camel owners are employed to carry the crop.

Although hot during most of the day it cools off at night, this morning it was 65 degrees on the porch. Gremar put on a sweat shirt, cool is relative here.  We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year with family and friends. Thank you for joining us on our journey and for supporting the work of training leaders for the evolving church in Niger State, Nigeria. God Bless
