Winding down

We’re on our last full day here in Jos, Nigeria.
We did a lot of shopping this morning (some more than others). The rest of us did a lot of window shopping as the shop keepers did there best to sell the Paturies (sp?) their wares.
We’re eating our last meal at the Click Net and we’ll have a time to say our good byes to the boys at TH and Gidan Bega this afternoon. The two boys I prayed with last week to receive Christ have been begging me for an EvangeCube that I showed them the Gospel message with.
I told them they had to promise me to show it to at least 10 people if I give it to them. So I’ll bring them to Luke and Isaiah today before we head back home.
Yesterday we did shopping in the morning and then went to a church at the Motorpark.
The Motorpark is basically a large field where people bring their cars and wait for riders to take trips across the country.
You can probably find a ride to any part of the country if you’re willing to wait for enough other riders to make it profitable for the car owner and driver.
The church at the Motorpark meets in a large building with wooden benches and dirt floors. Their numbers are few, but they’ve doubled in size since last year.
The church was a large size years ago before fighting broke out between the Muslims and Christians. The church dispersed after that but everyday a group of women would continue to meet in the afternoon and pray for God to work.
Now their numbers have at least trippled and they are excited and on fire for God.
The chief is blind himself and he welcomed us to the area but our Nigerian friends were worried for our safety after seeing some anti-American resentment by some.
Very few whites have visited the area and we were looking forward to seeing it – some of us for the first time.
Members of the group have been there before and some did medical mission work there while I was at Bad Boys last week.
So our stay there was very short, but in both Blind Town and the Motorpark we couldn’t keep enough tracts with us.
People see you handing out anything and they want a piece of it.
Pray that God will speak to their hearts and their eyes will be opened by a simple tract.
Pray that the church in the Motorpark will continue to flurish.
Pray that the Muslims in Blind Town will see that Allah can not heal them and give them peace like our God can.
Pray for the Muslim men that our team continues to meet and pray with.
Pray that they will no longer be blinded or live in fear of their Muslim friends. May they accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and be bold about their faith.
We fly back to America in less than 48 hours and I look forward to seeing many of you once we are back.
Pray for our safety as we travel.
God bless you all!
