Did You Know?....... (Part II)

Hi Everyone,

Psalms 32:10 - "The Lord's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in Him." Oh how true this is in Crist and my lives! His unfailing love is all around us as we make mistakes and gripe and complain. We are learning to trust Him more and more. Thank You Lord!!

Okay, part 2 of our "Did You Know!" Did you know that this is how you buy material here in Jos, Nigeria? There are many little stores just like this - very dark inside - with material hanging from ceiling to floor. You just pick out what you like and they rip the material with their teeth and viola - you're done!
Did you know that the man riding the choba below is taking the meat (yes, look closely - that's beef ribs on the back of the choba) to market. Hmmmmm

Did you know that the pile of rags in the picture above is where a woman and her children live during the day while they crack rocks (they're sitting on the ground with a big rock in their hand and a smaller rock on the ground and they pound the smaller rock until it cracks. They keep at it until the rock is the size they want it. They collect all the rocks and pile them on the side of the road and sell them. John has bought some for gravel in our driveway here on the compound. That's how it's done here. The huge boulders that you see all around Jos are free and people just smash them up to make an income. Very ingenious!

Did you know who is on the Back2Back Nigerian staff? The topmost picture was taken last week of all of us on staff here. Daniel (a Nigerian on staff) is to the far left, then Corrie and John (our daughter and son-in-law), then the "old" couple in the middle - wonder who they are? and Jason and Emilee are to the far right. Jason and Emilee are the Directors of Back2Back Nigeria.

Hope all is well with all our friends and family back home. We miss you all, but God is Faithful - we're settling in and keeping busy.

In-joy,

Eileen and Crist
