Bro. Israel

This is Bro. Israel. He came from Lagos for the meetings and is a
convert of Bro. Shobanke over 30 years ago before he came to Abeokuta.
We were able to help Bro. Israel and many other preachers because of
the generosity of individuals and churches in the U.S.

Minister's Conference Thursday


Today was the final day of the Ministers Conference in Abeokuta. This is a picture of those that attended the final day. Kelly Jo could not get them all in the pic but she took better ones with Odie's camera. We will post them and many others on our website after we are home.

The sermon today was "God's Purpose For You". It was well received and the altar service was great. We had prayer for Odie and I expected her to be healed at any moment. God moved wonderfully.

We are off this evening and tomorrow morning. Our next service is
tomorrow (Friday) night at another branch of Bro. Shobanke's church.

We are going to eat a snack and rest this evening. Please pray for our strength and the strength of my voice.

Brothers

This is me and Bro. Beckley. He is an evangelist in Nigeria. All the
folks gathered around to see us together. I wish I would have had my
African clothes on.
Speaking of African clothes, we received some more clothes tonight.
The men of the church had an outfit made for each of us. We will
probably wear them tomorrow and take a picture then. I also have two
more new outfits and the girls have two more that will be ready on
Saturday.
These precious people offer us their very best and we are very humbled
by their generosity.

Praying

Praying for the children before the candy is passed out. It is easy to
pray for these children with a genuine burden. They have so little reason to
hope in this world but so Much to hope in with God.

Crusade Candy

All the children the last night of the crusade get some candy from
America. I love to get among the children with the candy. It is mass
chaos and I love it. Once the candy started flowing it was moving to
fast to get a picture with my phone but here is a pic of the children
waiting.

Ruth & Odie

Sis. Ruth is Bro. Shobanke's daughter. She is 24 years old. She and
Odie are 10 months apart. She has a heart for God and leads in the
singing much of the time.

12/1/09 Weather

This was the weather just before church. Not to bad at all for an
outdoor Crusade in Africa!

12/1/09 Crusade

Tonight was the third night of the Gospel Crusade in Abeokuta. We
had several come forward for salvation and the Spirit of the Lord was
present to save and to heal.
One young lady that came to the altar really gripped my heart and I
wept and wept over her. She literally dragged herself along the ground
to the altar. I was only able to speak with her briefly but I asked
one of the pastors to get me her name and information. When I have
that I will tell you more about her.
I feel God's presence here very close but I see so many needs that
it makes me realize I need Him so much more.
The pic is of Bro. Shobanke and the Pastors under him. L-R Bro.
Lawrence, Bro. Isaiah, Bro. Israel, Bro. Shobanke, Davy, Bro. Amos &

I think we had 100% in the altar today. Great move of the Lord.

12/1/09 Bro. Salmon Adelani

This is my dear brother in the Lord. He interpreted in the
ministers meeting last time and is doing it again this time. We plan
to be in his city of Ibadan next week for another Crusade & Minister's
Conference. We had a great time preaching together today!
