“They do not belong to this world any more than I do. Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth. Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world.”
– John 17:16-18
Sending Proclaimers into Nigeria has been one of our greatest joys in our retirement years. The impact has been tremendous and the demand continues to grow. Our faithful partner, Faith Comes By Hearing, has been stellar in the process. Although they deal in the thousands of these digital Bible audio devices all over the world, they have graciously worked just as closely with us to send in our few at a time (now numbering 120+). A shout out to UPS as well, as they have taken us under their wing and granted us great discounts. Not one shipment has failed to get there right on time!
As you can tell by now, we like to put a “face” to those who receive the Proclaimers, so you will have a visual image of the people on the ground who are doing the difficult work. We want you to know them “Up Front and Personal,” even though they are 7200 miles away!
The evangelists above all received their individual Proclaimers this past week in the various languages for the harvest fields where they labor (Matthew 9:37-39), across a six-state area in southwest Nigeria, represented by the purple area in the map below.
We also thought you would be interested in the latest communique from our main man on the ground, Peter Bamidele. He is a treasure and has been with us since the beginning. That’s a story in itself. He sent the above picture from the delivery point along with his comments. Enjoy.
“Good day Sir, Thank you for the gracious word, and what you are doing for God’s kingdom, It is Noble and Commendable, God bless you! I received call every time from people, they were actually making enquiry, and also want proclaimers in their various ministries. As of yesterday, a pastor still call me from Ekiti state, the demand is overwhelming. I keeps telling them to continue to pray along. I have other list with me to be submitted soon. Thank you Nuggets of truth and FCBH. Above all, Glory to the Name of the Lord. Gbu.
These are Missionaries n Evangelists from Gospel Faith Missions International, they received their proclaimers yesterday. One of them was conspicuously missing, he is coming from far place. They comes from different villages, and converged in the house of their leader. They send their blessings and prayed for Nuggets of truth, FCBH. All glory be to God. Gbu.
I posed with them here, because they asked me to. Sir, you can rightly identify me in the middle, not holding proclaimer. Again, thank you, sir. God bless you.” – Peter
Priceless! Thank you for your prayers.
