Mike Blyth shared an info-video from some of the missionaries serving with City Ministries in Nigeria.
City Ministries is the same group we worked with when we went to Jos, Nigeria in 2006 and also when CWF went in 2007.
Also friend and UMHB alumni, Erin Rigsby, works with City Ministries as well as a nurse for many of the children in the homes.

Beaten Nigerian woman wants pictures shown
From the BBC:
A female Nigerian politician badly beaten by a local MP is standing by the publication of a revealing photograph showing her injuries in a hospital bed.
Habiba Garba told the BBC she wanted people to see the reality of violence against women in northern Nigeria.
But Kano State authorities say they have received complaints the picture breaks Muslim rules about nudity.
Videos from Nigeria
Just posted the first video from the CWF trip to Nigeria. At least two more are on the way.
Tomorrow night
Just an FYI/reminder…
The Christian Wrestling Federation will be live in Rockwall, Texas tomorrow night. The show is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. It’s a free show and you can bet there will be plenty of updates throughout the night about the CWF’s recent trip to Nigeria.
Prayer for Erin
From e-mail:
Dear Friends,
Last Tuesday evening, there was an armed robbery on the compound across the street from where I live. Three single women missionaries were in the apartment and one of them was injured. I have been attending to her, medically, and as her friend.
This has been a traumatic event and we need your prayers.
For me, please pray
– that I will take all thoughts captive – holding only onto Truth
– that I will not be fearful of Nigerians
– that my parents will trust God to protect me
– to be able to fall asleep at night
– my lung is hurting again and my cough has returned – this was to be expected, as my disease will flare up when my immune system weakens (due to stress, this time).
Seven of our boys have been sick this week and it has been a blessing to focus on loving and caring for them. These children are why God brought me here and they are why I will stay.
As I flipped open the Bible a couple nights ago – God opened the pages to this familiar and comforting verse:
‘ For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,’ declares the LORD. ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts higher than your thoughts.’ Isaiah 55:8 & 9
Holding onto Him,
Erin Rigsby
