Pray for sick children

Over the past two weeks, 10 of our kids in Nigeria have been hospitalized for various reasons, at various times. As you can imagine, this is very difficult for the children and for the staff to handle. I have called Nigeria a few times and prayed with the kids who are sick. The staff is really doing well and we are thankful there is a hospital nearby.

It is possible, even probable, that this is a spiritual attack that is being manifested in physical sickness. God has protected the lives of the children and not one of our kids in the 11 years the ministry has been running, has died. We are still trusting He will return Usseini, but only He knows.

The reality is that many children in our ministry have come from satanic or islamic backgrounds. God rescued them out of Satan's army and the enemy continually fights against us. This has happened since day one of the ministry. However, this is the first time that so many children are being affected physically.

Whether it is a spiritual attack or a coincidence that all these kids are sick, they still need our prayers.

So can you please pray, for 30 seconds each day, for the physical and spiritual healing and protection over the children and the staff in Nigeria?

Yep, that's me on the radio!!!! How fun is that? I was invited by Steve Burke to join him and his colleague for an hour of discussion of missions, my life in Nigeria, and how BIG our God is. I really enjoyed it. It is a local station (Temple, Belton, Killeen) KTEM 1400AM. The show will air this Sunday 10-11am. It was a great experience and I pray God uses it to move people outta their comfort zones and into His battle - the battle of Hope.


This week, Temple Bible Church hosted the

African Children's Choir. I felt right at home among these beautiful children. They are from Uganda and are seven to ten years old. Just like in Nigeria, they called me Auntie. :) ahhhhh.


I enjoyed cooking a meal for them at the church, watching them sing and dance, and also joined them on an outing to the Inflatable Funland! What a trip. The children have been on tour since May and sing 4 times a week. It was so fun to see them enjoying themselves so much. I joined in on the bouncing for about 10 seconds before my lungs told me to stop (bummer) but it was worth it!
