We are excited to announce that we are expecting Baby #3! Please pray that things would go well, as we are planning on staying here in Nigeria until shortly before the due date. Erin and the baby are doing well, though she does have some morning sickness.
In July, Erin’s parents came to be with us for two weeks! I was successfully able to surprise Erin and the kids, as they had no idea about the visit! We had a wonderful time and are very grateful for their heart for the Lord! During their time here, they were able to preach and teach multiple times and be an overall blessing to our pastors and church members. It’s not an easy thing to allow your daughter and grandchildren to live in a different part of the world; yet, because they decided years ago to encourage their children to follow God’s will, they now have peace that we are in God’s hands. I would encourage every parent to allow God to lead their children in whichever direction that He chooses! They took advantage of the newer visa-on- arrival opportunity; they were able to attain the visa and come through Immigration quite seamlessly.
In June and July, I was personally able to lead 7 people to Christ in their homes while making follow-up visits. Oftentimes, when we make a visit at someone’s house, family members or neighbors will sit and allow me to explain the Gospel to them. What a privilege it is to be able to tell people that Christ has died for them so that they don’t have to!
Thank you for praying for our “Deaf Family Day”! We had 348 people in attendance, with around 50 of them being visitors who came specifically because they had been invited by one of our deaf members. All of them heard a clear presentation of the Gospel, and many raised their hands, indicating that they had placed their faith in Jesus Christ alone to save them!
Our final “Who Will Go?” Youth Camp was held in July. Due to a schedule change, I was not able to make it, but it was very successful! Throughout the 3 camps, we had 400 young people attend, around 100 surrender to do whatever God leads them to do, 25 surrender to preach, and 6 surrender to go to and are planning to attend Bible college this fall! Please pray, as we are beginning to plan for next year’s camps.
Thank you for your prayers! We know that it takes folks like you to send folks like us!
In His service,
Daniel, Erin, Zeke, and Gianna Lang
