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: Back Home in Nigeria

    Caleb and Emily Christiansen Prayer Letter: Back Home in NigeriaI am happy to be writing to you from our home in Nigeria. We were able to successfully finish up our last few meetings in the U.S. Then on October 14, we left our house at 1:00 a.m. to begin our worldwide journey back to Nigeria. We are grateful that the flights were smooth and that all of our luggage made it safely. It was also the first time for me that no one asked us for a bribe as we went through immigration or customs. After more than 20 hours of traveling, that helped to make the process of arriving much smoother.

    When we arrived, there were a few people from our church to greet us and help us home. One of the men who was helping us with the luggage said, “Wow! So many are here to greet you people. You must be a great man!” While I know that I am not a great man, we are certainly thrilled to be back with our people, whom God has called us to serve.

    The first chance I got to go soul winning back in Nigeria, I had the opportunity to share the Gospel with a family of four just outside their home. It was a rare opportunity since I do not usually find an entire family together on a Saturday, but the mother, father, and both of their children were there sitting outside their house. I was concerned that they wouldn’t want to take the time to listen since they told me they regularly attended another church, but they allowed me to present the Gospel to them. I was thrilled that they all decided to trust Christ right there in front of their home. Please pray as I work to bring this family to church and help them to grow.

    Please pray for our 2nd Annual Ladies’ Conference coming November 7-9. There are a lot of details and moving pieces that go into a conference like this, so please pray for all the preparations that are going on. Please pray that ladies and pastors’ wives from outside our immediate area will also be able to attend since the cost of transportation has gotten so high recently. Please pray that God will use the conference to instruct, encourage, and work on all the lives of those who attend. We look forward to reporting to you soon what God did during the Ladies’ Conference.

    That all the world may know,

    Caleb Christiansen
