I am 57 today and cannot thank God enough, considering all the bridges I have crossed to get here.
I am incredibly grateful to you for your partnership in getting the light of the gospel to the darkest places of our generation where Jesus was not known.
- Today, over 500 candidates have been trained at our School of Cross-Cultural Missions.
- Out of these numbers, over 200 are actively engaged in pioneer missions in several mission agencies/denominations across almost all the continents of the world.
- Close to 60 others are planted in various mission fields in Nigeria and abroad directly under the platform of Grace Foundation Inland Missions.
- Over 50 others under the Network of African Mission Leaders (NAMIL), a network of mission leaders whom I mentor, and some just Great Commission friends whom we work very closely.
This morning, the kids at the Home of Grace (HOG) majority of who were orphans and vulnerable kids, and some missionary kids woke me up with a thunderous happy birthday song followed by prayers. Others scattered across in school hostels called not only to wish me a happy birthday but to thank me. Some of the widows whom God has helped us wiped away their tears left messages. Yet, it is just 7.47 am Nigerian time. I can imagine what it will be like by evening today.
I am taking my time to share this because you made this possible. God used your partnership to make these vast differences. Thank you so much. God is aware that you made these possible, and He will reward you mightily.
I don’t celebrate birthdays and am not interested in the so-called birthday surprise parties and cakes that friends organize. I instead desire that those energy and resources be used to pray for me and meet the following felt needs:
Outstanding school fees of our Home of Grace kids (resident and non-resident) amounting to N250,000.
Six additional mattresses for the new wing of the Gladys Aylward Hostel of the Home of Grace costing N198,000(N33,000 per vitafoam) and three double bunk beds costing N60,000 each.
Completion of electrification of the new wing of Gladys Aylward Hostel of the Home of Grace costing N280,000
Completion of three church building projects which are at different stages at various mission fields. The delays are due to hyperinflation and the devaluation of Naira.
God bless you.
