Caleb’s Testimony:

I had the great privilege to be born into a faithful pastor’s home. I grew up in a godly, Christian environment being exposed to the Gospel at a young age. I was saved as a six-year-old boy when after a junior church service I realized that I wasn’t saved even though I was the Pastor’s son. I went to my father’s office between the morning and evening service and asked my father how I could go to Heaven. He showed me straight from the Bible how to be saved and I received Jesus Christ as my Saviour that day.

Emily’s Testimony:

I was born and raised in the beautiful state of Maine, and I am a fourth-generation ‘Mainiac’. I was given the privilege of growing up in a good godly home, where my family attended church anytime the doors were open.

At the age of 5, I made a profession of faith, but I was not truly saved until the age of 14. I struggled with doubts about my salvation for many months until a Wednesday night in September of 2008 after teen soul-winning. I humbled myself by going to my youth pastor, and in his office, I settled my salvation.

I experienced a burden for missions from a very young age as we had missionaries regularly stay in our home. Getting to know missionaries on a personal level and being able to see their love for the Saviour and heart to reach the world impacted me greatly as I grew up. I was called to preach as a teenager and went to Hyles-Anderson College to train for the ministry not sure where in the world the Lord wanted me to serve. However, as I continued my training I became convinced that God wanted me to serve as a missionary and as time went on I became even more convinced that God was calling me to serve in Nigeria.

It was an amazing thing when I first started dating Emily, who would become my wife. I told her at the very beginning of our relationship that I would be going to Nigeria to serve as a missionary, and she revealed to me that she had the desire to be a missionary in Africa since she was a little girl. I was so awed that God would bring into my life a helpmeet with a vision so much like my own.

God has been so good in calling us to Nigeria. He has prepared both of us by allowing us to serve in soul winning and bus ministry from when we were young. God has given us both unique opportunities preparing us for Nigeria. God allowed me to work with our missions agency, Fundamental Baptist Missions International, for 7 years as a volunteer, intern, and staff member giving me invaluable insights and training on the work missions. Also, my wife had the opportunity to work in the medical field after graduating from Bible college giving her great skills and knowledge that will assist us once on the field.

Caleb and Emily Christiansen Prayer Letter: Return to the Field

Caleb and Emily Christiansen Prayer Letter: Return to the FieldWe just had a great trip out to the Midwest. I was able to see family I hadn’t seen for a long time, in some cases, nearly five years. We enjoyed reporting to some of our supporting churches and also presenting our ministry to a few new churches. We are so grateful that we were able to see four more churches vote to take on the work going on in Nigeria.

Thank you to everyone who has continued to pray for Emily’s health. Many churches that we have visited on furlough have told us that they have been continuing to pray. She is on a good regimen that has been helping her get to full health. We are praying that all of our health will stay strong as we return to Nigeria.

In the middle of August, our Bible college returned for another semester. We now have 39 students, with 7 new students. The Lord has continued to bless the college with this high enrollment. Emily especially has been working to develop our ladies’ curriculum for the college, as interest from ladies to attend has been increasing. I can’t wait to get back and continue my in-person role in their training.

Please pray as we prepare to return to Nigeria on October 14. Many times as we get in the car to somewhere, Emma has asked, “Are we going to Nigeria? I want to go back to Nigeria.” Each time I’ve had to tell her, “Not yet, Emma,” all the while wishing the same thing in my own heart. But that time is finally approaching. Please pray as we prepare to return. There are a lot of details to organize and things to pack. Please pray that our reentry will be smooth, especially as our next Ladies’ Conference will be just two weeks after we arrive.

That all the world may know,

Caleb Christiansen
