We’ve definitely put some miles on the car this past month. We began the month traveling from Louisiana to Indiana, then to Iowa, and finally spent some time in Colorado.
We had plenty of wonderful experiences throughout the month; however, the highlight had to be when we arrived in Colorado. We had the privilege of spending a full week at Crystal River Baptist Church in Carbondale, Colorado. We got to spend the week participating in their Vacation Bible School. We had a great time getting involved in each aspect of VBS. The list of things we were able to help with was quite long: creating and setting up decorations, teaching classes, preaching, helping with songs, acting out a missionary story, etc. There was certainly always something to do. It was a wonderful time getting to work with the church in ministering to the children there.
We honestly didn’t know how many people would be coming to the VBS, with many still concerned about COVID. However, we had many children attend during the week. Actually, most of these children who came were visitors to the church, and I was personally able to lead five children to the Lord during the week. Praise the Lord that despite all the fear of COVID, the Lord is still working.
Thank you all so much for praying for us as we have been traveling. We have had so many blessings on the road, and I believe that is mostly due to your prayers. Throughout this uncertain time that many churches are experiencing, no churches have dropped our support. A few new churches have even taken us on! God keeps blessing. We are grateful to be your missionaries to Nigeria.
That all the world may know,
