QUARTERLY PRAYER LETTER
JULY 2011
|
|
“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of God:”
|
|
These are the words spoken by the apostle Paul in
Ephesians 6:17.
When one gets saved the first thing they need
given to them is a copy of God’s Holy Word, The
Bible.
But in Nigeria, a country of more than 150 million
people, there is simply not enough Bibles to go
around.
In the earlier part of our mission work to Nigeria
we helped gather hundreds of Bibles that were
shipped directly to Nigeria via the U.S. Post Office
at a rate of around $22.00 per “M” bag which held
around 30 paperback Bibles.
Unfortunately, a few years ago, the rates
became so high that it now costs around $60.00 just
to ship about 12-14 Bibles.
We have great news!
A retired pastor in Virginia is preparing to
ship a container to Brother Godstime, our national
pastor friend in Nigeria, around the first of
September.
We are trying to collect all of the KJV
Bibles we can along with Sunday School literature,
Children’s materials, and any other good Bible
Commentaries you may have so we can include these
items in this container.
If your church would like to help by holding
a drive to gather up new or used KJV Bibles, I would
be glad to come and get these from you or you can
send these to me and I will see that they are added
to this container.
We would need to receive these by the end of
August 2011.
You can also help by providing financial
support to buy Bibles.
I can order Bibles from Bibles by the Case
and have them shipped to the Virginia location.
A case of twenty KJV Bibles with 8.2 print
type can be purchased for $74.00 per case. That’s
only $3.70 per Bible.
I took two suitcases of these Bibles with me
to Nigeria last November.
There is also a great need for Giant Print
Bibles for the elderly believers.
Giant Print Bibles cost so much more than
regular print Bibles.
So please pray about helping us with this
part of the project.
Any KJV New Testaments that you might have
would be helpful as well.
We take these and give them to the smaller
children.

Since our last prayer letter, the Lord had been very
good to us allowing us to have good health and
continue our ministry in all phases.
We are now preparing for another Mission Trip
to Nigeria; hoping to depart on Nov. 3, 2011 and
return on Nov. 21, 2011.
This time we are planning on spending one week with
Bro. Godstime Evbota in Benin City, which will
include dedication of the Grove Baptist Church in
the Nigerian Bush Village of Ayen.
Then we plan on spending a second week with
Bro. Thomas Adesoye in the city of Uyo which is
located in the Southeastern Nigerian State of Adwa
Ibon.
We have gotten to know Bro. Adesoye through some
friends in West Virginia.
In fact we carried some materials to him on
our mission trip to Nigeria last year for his
Mission Board in Dayton, TN meeting him at the Lagos
airport.
We praise God for another door being opened
in this country where people have a desire to hear
the Gospel message and the believers want to be
taught more from the Word of God. Please pray that
the necessary funds will come in for the expenses of
this trip.
|

I would count it a great privilege to come to your
church and tell about our ministry and show a slide
presentation.
God is beginning to show us other areas He
wants us to be a part of and we want to follow the
leadership of the Lord.
|
|
In closing please make the following requests a part
of your prayer life:
|
|
·
KJV Bibles both regular and giant print
|
|
·
Necessary funds for the upcoming Nigerian mission
trip
|
|
·
More open doors to share our mission burden
|
|
·
More supporting churches (right now we only have
seven)
|
|
·
Grove Baptist Church as there are still small things
that are to be done to the building
