Supplies for Jos

We have packed 26 boxes of clothes, books, children’s books and Bibles for Jos and they leave tomorrow. These have been gifts from friends in the UK. Among these are many clothes for children, which come at the right time to help those in Jos. Kent also leaves for Jos tomorrow. He is also taking back gifts of supplies for the staff and their families.

We need funds to ship these supplies out to Jos. If you are able to help please go to our website on this page and look for the details. Thank you.

The college and children’s school open next week and we thank you for your continued prayer. Jim Holdcroft also comes out to Jos in one week to start a seminar with our students and pastors from the Jos area. We are opening this up to other churches, to encourage as many as we can after the riots.

Things are settled in the city now owing to the affective presence of the army. We thank God for the constitution of the nation which affords us protection and liberty to preach the gospel. As Paul used this in the Roman Empire we take full advantage of this God given opportunity to preach the gospel through the Sahel. No wonder Paul said pray for the peace of the nation so that we can preach. God’s blessing gives us a disciplined army which is so necessary. Please pray this continues. (We also need to pray that this liberty is used to the full in Western nations.)

Below John & Esther (our daughter) speak on a brief video of their experience in Jos. Our son Timothy also wishes to come to Jos next August to do his medical training overseas placement for two months. The hospital they work in was not harmed during the riots but some relations and friends of the staff were.

We look forward to letting you know of God’s blessing in Jos and beyond in the days ahead. Thank you for your support. Once again we are amazed at the Lord’s faithfulness in continuing to meet needs and move in the hearts of his people in so many ways.

We are praying for you also.

Love from all in Jos, Kent & Ruth
