Calvary Greetings in Jesus name.
The past two months have been quite occupied with
scheduled activities of the ministry. In respect to these, we were unable to
update you on what God is doing through you and what we’ve been able to
accomplish via your partnership with us. We have seen God do marvelous things
and we know they are connected to your prayers. For example, on two of our
fields, men and women have walked to the mission house to surrender their lives
to Jesus Christ.

The 20th African Missions Summit was a
huge success despite the “Election Fever” and Rumors of possible war that
discouraged many from travelling during that period. However, well over 200
mission leaders from Cameroon, Niger, Ghana, Zambia, Uganda, Benin Republic and
Nigeria were present to share fellowship, experiences, corporate prayers and
the building of a stronger relationship. It was awesome and we give God the
glory.
Missions
Training
The 20th Set of our School of Cross-Cultural
Missions has graduated. That amounts to
additional laborers for the dark places
of the earth. While some of the graduates have gone back to join the workforce
of the various ministries which sponsored them for the one year Cross-Cultural
Missions training. The others automatically joined our team. A new set of students have resumed training
and we have five more successfully screened applicants from the Fulani and
Hausa background who are trusting God for sponsorship. Kindly pray along with
us that God will provide sponsors.

New
Frontiers, Additional Missionaries & More Responsibilities
God has also added to us no fewer than ten additional
missionaries. Rex Chipoya and his wife are Zambians; they will be pioneering the
work of Grace Foundation Inland Missions in Zambia. Harouna and his wife are from Niger Republic;
they will be going through a brief induction in Niger and will proceed to
pioneer the work in Burkina Faso. The other six missionaries will be working in
Nigeria among the various unreached people groups. They are Ishaya and Maryamu
Ibrahim for Kubule field, Nuhu Yakubu for Tunga Ali field, Yakubu Ishaya for
Lambu field, Adebisi Moses for Kuble field and Tashadurumi
respectively. The new staff, beside the ones in Zambia and Burkina Faso will require a minimum of N20, 000 monthly for a
start to meet up with the pioneering needs like logistics, accommodation and
upkeep. That will amount to at least N200, 000 additional expenses to our
monthly recurrent financial challenges. We covet your prayers for God to meet
this need.
Orphans
& Vulnerable Kids - Home of Grace (HOG)
 |
| Jecinta and Blessing |
Fourteen (14) of our kids have returned back to school. They
are improving in both character and learning. We have two more kids from the devastated
Boko Haram North Eastern States who are missionary kids. More missionaries
endangering their lives in that region are pleading with us to send their
children to join the Home of Grace (HOG).
We are still waiting for improvements in our finances in order to enable
us give them a go ahead. Ayuba has registered and commenced his MSc. Economics.
Rachael, Mary and Salisu Chiroma have resumed studies at Federal College of
Education Pankshin. Priscilla is currently sitting for her WASC examination.
Six of our children in the HOG had a pass mark in their Joint Admission
Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination in preparation for their entry into the university.
We have the need for school fees, food stuffs and basic toiletries like soap,
body cream, tooth paste etc.
Staff
Update
Rahila Musa at Dir mission field was sick and went
through surgical operation at a hospital in Bauchi. Pray along with us for her
quick recovery. Barnabas and Fatima have joined the team in Benin Republic to
beef up the work there, pray for God to provide all the wisdom, grace and
resources needed to pioneer the work. Moustapha and Josephine Oumarou are still
embarking on raising funds for their relocation to Malawi, they are both
teaching at the School of Cross-Cultural Missions in Jos at the moment pending
when God provides the resources. Hope Ejiofor has being moved to Anambra State
from where she will be joining hands with our friends and partners in the
Eastern part of Nigeria for Missions mobilization. She is very passionate about
community deliverance and hopes to visit communities as God opens doors.
Project
update
The church project of Libentee, Benin Republic is
almost at the roofing level. The mission house at Bolu is at the lintel level.
The church at Bum has been roofed and only requires doors, windows, plastering
and flooring. The Angwa Egbeshi church was built by the converts with mud
blocks and we need N85, 000 urgently to roof the church before the rain begins
otherwise it would collapse it. Please pray for funds for all these projects.
Getting them completed will seriously encourage the missionaries and enhance
the work.
Appreciation
& Appeal
We are deeply appreciative of your selfless
consistent partnership over the years. We strongly believe that we would not
have gotten to our present height without your input. We pray that God would
reward you here on earth and beyond. We
still have a long way to go and covet your continuous partnership.
Currently, we have a sharp drop in our support. Some
of our partners have challenges in their finances, business and places of work.
Please pray along with us for all our partners. If it is well with them, it
will be well with the ministry’s finances. Also, some dropped without notice
while few others became irregular in their support. This is affecting the work
negatively as not much can be accomplished without money. As you read this, we
want to appeal that you kindly pray for our finance, pray and make efforts to
mobilize more partners for us and above all pray for our leadership and the entire
workforce.
We are constantly in prayers for you and we deeply
appreciate the role God has used you to play to bringing this work to this
level.
God
bless you richly.
