Gratitude From GoodNews Christian School

By the help of God's people we have been helping Pastor Shobanke with the GoodNews Christian School from the very beginning. When Bro. Shobanke shared his vision (Actually, his wife, who has been in Heaven many years, first had the vision 25 years before) of starting a Christian school, we pledged to help support it financially right from the beginning. Boggs Family Ministries gave an offering right then and we committed to giving the same amount the next three years.

Several more years have passed and we are committed more than ever. It is a tremendous blessing for the young folks in their city to have an opportunity at a good education AND and Godly education. We are very glad to be a small part of it.

Most of our offerings the last three years have went toward supplementing the salaries of Sis. Ruth and Sis. Rebecca as they run the school and to providing a suitcase full of school supplies each year. You can read more about that HERE. When we are there late this year (By God's Grace) I hope to sit down with them and find out what else we can do to come along side them in their work for Christ.

We have been blessed to visit the school and we are always overwhelmed by the kindness of the staff and the love of the children. I really wish we could spend more time with the children and maybe God will allow that in future.

Bro. Shobanke, Sis. Ruth, Sis. Rebecca, the staff and the children have shown their appreciation in various ways through the years and it always brings us to tears. This year they went way over the top and sent us a tremendous care package.

They sent a large package of towels, bags and shirts with the school name on them

Here is the back of the shirts.

We shared some of the gifts with individuals and churches that have purposefully supported the GoodNews Christian School but we also wanted to share their thanks and appreciation with you. God bless you for helping. God bless you for giving. God bless you for praying. Your help and your prayers are making a difference in the lives of children in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria, West Africa and only eternity will reveal the depth of that difference.

Thank you and God bless you.

2015 In The Rear View Mirror Part 5

This is our last installment of 2015 In the Rear View Mirror. I ended up with a whole lot of pictures in this post! You can see the other four installments at the links below.

Part 1

Looking back over the year brings lots of great memories of wonderful services, saints that were encouraged and men and women that heard the Gospel story and responded by giving their lives to Christ! That makes every mile driven, every dollar spent and every ounce of strength expended worth it! We have been blessed of God in 2015, that is for sure!

Thank you for sharing the ride with us. According to Blogger we have several hundred of you that tune in most every day and we sure appreciate it. We hope you enjoy tracking out progress as we post about the grace of God, great churches, Pastors, people, revivals, missions, music, family, food, fellowship, fun, the BoggsMobile, our travels and who knows what else.

We also hope you enjoy all of the pictures! Today we finish reviewing the pictures from 2015 by beginning with the BoggsMobile in mid-March and going back to a picture of the BoggsMobile the first day of January.

Thanks for reading.
