Calvary
greetings from our mission base here in Furaka. Thank you again for your continuous
partnership. It has enabled us to move forward this past one month despite
increasing odds.
Libentee Church, Benin Republic
We
are delighted to inform you that the balance of the funds required for the
roofing of the church at Libentee field in Benin Republic has been paid. We are
grateful to God for the divine provision. Thank you for praying and giving. Our
next challenge is the windows, doors, flooring and plastering. God who brought
us thus far will help us in finishing the work. Our missionaries, Sabatu and
Nuhu Karambana are grateful and really encouraged.
Registration in Zambia
 |
| At River Kafue in Zambia |
We
have commenced our registration process in Zambia. Again, God provided the
entire funds needed for the various stages of the registration amounting 103,700
Zambia Kwacha(Almost N80,000), when the registration is completed, Grace
foundation Zambia will fully begin to raise a work force for the purpose of
engaging the dark communities in the nation and surrounding countries. The next
point of need is to commence fund generating projects that will sustain our
missionary, Rex Chipoya and his family. With the terrible devaluation of Naira,
the most ideal means of upkeep is to start a fund generating project which in
itself will require funds.
More Motor cycles for Nigerian fields
The
terrain of the Nigerian mission fields is constantly wearing out our
motorcycles. At Dir and Bum fields, their motorcycles have been virtually
written off. God brought encouragement
to Pastor and Mrs Yohanna Musa manning the Dir field less than a week
ago with a brand new motorcycle to replace his worn-out one. Ladi Ekpa of Bum
is coveting prayers for a ladylike motorcycle costing N140, 000. She currently
heads the North East Region and really needs the bike to cover all the mission
fields and her domain for effective monitoring.
HOG Kids' Excel in School
A
good number of our kids came out in flying colours in their just concluded 3rd term
promotional exams and
smiled home with numerous prizes to the glory of God. Naomi came first in her
class, KG2. Yakubu, Dan-Asabe and Jacinta came second in their respective
classes. Michael was the most outstanding student in mathematics (jss3) while
Daniel was the overall best in his class (jss3). Three of our Kids are
currently sitting for their junior West African Examination council examination.
We covet and seek for prayers. The HOG in Niger Republic and Samunaka, Niger
state are still in need of support.

Bereavement in Chad
Our dear colleague, brother and friend, Samuel Benouji completed
his labour three weeks ago and has gone to be with the lord. until his death,
he was not only labouring in Chad but co-ordinating the central African Missions
Project(CAMP). He was indeed dedicated, selfless and loyal. It will be
difficult to find someone to fill his shoes.

Pray
along with us that the God with whom all things are possible will raise a workforce
for himself for Chad and Northern Cameroon. Pray that the lord will comfort his
family and the entire Grace Foundation family over this loss. We are grateful
to all our partners, trustees, council members and friends who called and
visited during this sad moment.
Prayer Needs
We
constantly recognise that without God we will be unable to make any remarkable
progress in the work. Please keep praying for us for more reliable God –fearing
labourers and funds for the upkeep/welfare of serving missionaries. Many of
them are serving in very difficult areas where they have to raise support for
themselves. Pray for funds to complete churches and mission houses on the
field.
Pray
for our school of Cross-Cultural Missions (SOCM) students undergoing training.
They are currently in various jungles for their field trips, pray for our HOG
Kids. By next month, they are all expected to return to school and so much is
required for their fees, text books and uniform.
Pray
for parents who have adopted 10 of them. Only five are consistent in remitting
the funds needed for their upkeep. Pray for all our Partners, for God's
continual blessing upon their lives, so that they can in turn be in a position
to further the work.
Pray
for our leadership team and myself as I travel across nations of the world to mobilise the church to focus on engaging
the dark nations of the world. This month, I will be in Ghana to speak first to
pastors in Accra, then at Oasis of Life Church and also in a Congress of World
Evangelisation.
God
bless you richly.
