Monday Gospel Crusade In Abeokuta

Wow! What a great service at the Outdoor Gospel Crusade Monday night! God met with us in a mighty, mighty way. I went back to the hotel rejoicing and praising God for His powerful help. I am fully expecting to hear some wonderful reports of great things God has done!

We have two more nights of crusade and we are expecting God to continue to move. Will you continue praying that God will have His will and way in Abeokuta? I appreciate the reports of prayer we have been receiving. God bless you for it. 

Speaking of communicating with us, the best way to do that while we are here is probably email. We keep the cellular service on our phones turned off. Using AT&T is way too costly here to mess with it except in an emergency. 

Of course comments on the blog are always welcome too. We love receiving the comments. 

We are able to hook to WiFi at the hotel. If you have an iPhone you can send a text as an iMessage and we will receive it when we hook up to WiFi. We have communicated with several folks that way. 

Odie even called us with FaceTime right before we went to church. I did not realize that could be done without phone signal but I should have known. 

Duh!

It was neat to see her face and to see my mother tooI. I liked it so much that I called her again from the hotel after church Monday night. This time I was able to talk to Odie, my dad, my mom, my brother Tommy and my sister-in-law Holly. 

That is so awesomely cool!

We are supposed to spend some time this morning at the GoodNews Christian School in Abeokuta. We are very excited about that!

Here are a few pictures from Monday with some play by play along the way. 

Thank you for reading.

This was the temp before lunch. 

Feels like 100? Yep, very much so. 

We had lunch Monday at Sweet Sensations. Chicken Republic is being renovated so this is the substitute. It is kind of cafeteria style but we always eat the baked chicken and a side or two. It is good. 

God helped us all Monday night, including the preacher. Sometimes I feel Called to preach! Last night was one of those times. 

After church I got to hold little David for a few minutes. He is a fine young man. 

Sis. Rebecca prepared us another fine meal too. 

Sunday In Abeokuta - Christ Ambassadors Holiness Church

Sunday was a super great day at Christ Ambassadors Holiness Church in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. We love this place and we love these people.

The services were wonderful with many responding to the challenge to come closer to God Sunday morning. God also touched lives in the outdoor crusade Sunday night with over two dozen responding to the altar call for salvation. 

Praise God for his help and his strength and for his strong arm of salvation! He is truly mighty to save.

I have several pictures from the day and some description as we go along. The pictures did not load easily tonight so I hope that is not an indication of things to come. Hopefully we will be able to post all week.

The motel we are staying in this year in Abeokuta is probably the best one we have stayed in here. We stayed in this same place in 2013. The fact that Kelly Jo nor I had any recollection of it is testimony to how rushed and full that trip was. As soon as we drove in, we remembered it. 

They are adding on to the hotel. 

They provide one complementary breakfast each night and this is a picture of it below.

Bro. Shobanke's church had this portrait painted for him in 2014. This is the first time we have seen it.

We had candy for the Sunday School children and that is ALWAYS fun. It is probably as much fun for me as it is for them.

As I said, the response Sunday morning was very encouraging.

Brother Shobanke daughters, Sis. Rebecca and Sis. Ruth prepared a beautiful meal for us.

This is Sis. Rebecca holding her little David. He is my name sake. I will have more pictures of him later.

This is Sis. Ruth's newest baby, Gideon.

These were the temperatures in Abeokuta and Ohio right before before church. Notice the 79° spread between the "feels like" temperatures.

It gets dark only about 40 minutes after church starts here so even though the temperature was still high, it felt very comfortable.

I appreciate the great crowd and the great response in the altar. We have three more nights of outdoor crusade and we are looking forward to many more souls being saved and people being healed.

Thank you very much for reading.
