Begging for more missionaries -- EMS News PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 16 November 2007 08:59

A recent report from the North East Region and Taraba State revealed how much work still remains in reaching remote areas. Apart from Gombe which is pretty well covered, only 31 out of 81 local governments have any EMS staff in them. Pray especially for the Bandawa, Mumuye, and Jirim people groups. The present EMS staff in Taraba State want more missionaries so badly that they have offered to pay N500 each from their own monthly allowances toward the allowances of new missionaries. There is an HQ Chapel/EMS outreach this weekend in Pelu, Bauchi State. I (Bill Foute) will be taking part in that and be out of the office Friday afternoon.

EMS reports that allowances continue to be paid on time Smile. New support figures begin January, 2008. N15,000 is the new support figure.

Soldiers with missionary

From the SIM Rebuilding Southern Sudan team, which includes nine Nigerian ECWA missionaries:

The top military commander stationed near our Abwong base requested we hold night classes for his soldiers. Using materials from our Basic Education Learning Center at Abwong, the missionaries had the amazing opportunity to teach the soldiers from a biblical perspective. Soon, Colonel Moses & many of the soldiers began attending the newly-formed church in Abwong.

PRAY FOR

  • our testimony to the soldiers stationed near our bases.
  • wisdom in handling demands made by military personnel.
  • our missionary women to feel safe & be respected by the soldiers.
  • our 9 Nigerian missionaries currently in Nigeria trying to obtain visas allowing them in & out of Kenya. They need these visas in case of sudden evacuation from Sudan, for business issues in Nairobi & also for periodic “Rest & Resupply”.
