Miles In Missions

This is sometimes the question I get when calling and talking to family or friends. This question could have two meanings and I’m not always sure which way they are asking me. One way could mean, “So, where are you physically located at the moment?” This is an understandable question after all of the traveling our family has done over the last five weeks. And then the question could also be asked, “So, where are you with you fundraising and ability to go back to Nigeria?”

Let me answer both questions by the numbers…

71 – days since landing in the USA.

4 – days in Bluffton, South Carolina where we met with Live Oak Christian Church as well a great family that has ties to Egbe and our work there.

8 – days in California where we spent the week as camp counselors and meeting with a Shepherd Church where Patrice’s brother is the youth pastor at.

20 – days in Charlotte, NC where we did a debrief with SIM, met with a Central Church, and spent time with more of Patrice’s family

5 – days camping in the mountains of North Carolina

1 – bad hang nail cut out (Cason)

1 – Gallbladder removed (Patrice)

Just 13 days until we leave to go back to Nigeria! Yes, we’ve been cleared to go back as long as we have commitments for the following…

4 – Recurring donation partners at $25 per month

4 – Recurring donation partners at $50 per month

If you have been waiting to sign up for monthly support, there is no better time than now! We must prove to SIM that we are fully funded before going back. Click Donate Now and chose to support our family monthly. Sign up once and the funds are automatically withdrawn every month.

We are so thankful for all of you that have continued to support us along the way, as well as the new financial and prayer partners who have joined us in the last 3 months. Your generosity has more than encouraged us to keep going! Thank you!
