Greetings from Jos, Nigeria.
As the plane landed in Abuja, all I could think was 'so this is really happening, we are here.' God is blessing us with all things. The schedule is allowing us to adjust to Nigeria gradually. The people with CRWRC are treating us very well. We are blessed.
We had very safe and comfortable travels and were greeted at the Abuja airport by the smiling face of John Orkar and and his co-worker Gideon. They took us to the Sudan United Mission guest house in Abuja, where we spent the night and woke up to lots of finely dressed Nigerians going to the church in the compound. They were singing familiar hymns.
After breakfast we visited the CR World Missions 'Daniel Center' offices and enjoyed a tour of modern capital of Abuja by Sheila Dykstra from CRWM. About 4 hours later we arrived in Jos and went straight to the evening service at the English NKST church, where Clay preached. Dinner was at the home of John and Esther Orkar. We are staying at the Mountain View guest house, which is part of the CRWRC compound.
Today, Monday 2/2/09 we are having an orientation to the ministries of the CRC in Nigeria, the NKST church, and affiliated programs, such as Beacon of Hope. In the afternoon we will visit the HIV-AIDS work in the Jos area. The plan is to visit a program for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC).
We are all in high spirits and feel your prayers and support. I must close as it it time to get back to the orientation. Hope to make one more post before leaving for Tiv-land where internet connectivity is promised to be minimal if at all.
