"He Makes All Things New!"

Hi Everyone,
Crist says that I try to "explain too much." I can't help it - I think it's a "woman thing." I just don't want you to look at our pictures and think, "Oh, that's nice." I want you to know the story behind the picture - to begin to understand this ministry and what we're doing here. So....here goes - more explanations.
A week ago, we had a ground-breaking ceremony at the B2B property site (where the viewing center is and my WONDERFUL ROCKS are and now where an Education Center is being constructed. At the groundbreaking ceremony is the "Chairman" of the village. In the top picture, he's the man in the brown shirt with the beige circles on it. He brought along a few of his children (he has three wives) plus there were Felani children and village children there too. John gave a short devotion (picture right below) and then there's a picture with Crist, John, Jason, Daniel (with B2B) and Sunday (striped shirt) who is a Christian Nigerian contractor that John has hired to help with the building projects going on. It's different building here in Nigeria and Sunday knows where to find the best laborers and what businesses to do business with. He has been a great help to John.















In three weeks, Will and Theresa Reed, will be joining us here in Nigeria and they will become full-time B2B staff. Theresa's heart will be to tutor the village children at the Education Center. Village children get a very sub-standard education because the school is closed so much of the time. Theresa's efforts will bring hope once again to these little ones. Will wants to get involved with the village and will be building relationships and outreaches. My next blog will show how much progress has been made since these pictures were taken. The building site is already beginning to take shape - it's all very exciting to see God at work in this part of the world. How blessed to be a part of His work!!
Chat with you soon!
In-joy,
Eileen and Crist
