Expanding our Territory

Hi Everyone,
Last week, Crist and I went with Jason (B2B Nigeria Director) and John to see the Rukuba Children's Home that is in the process of being constructed. This is such a wonderful story of a Nigerian man, Israel, married to a German woman (they have a little girl) who have a dream from the Lord of establishing a childrens' home very near to the village we minister at. Through funds and grants they have begun their building (picture above). We will be bringing our work team (they come on Thursday) there next week and we will be doing electrical work and clean-up work. Israel is the man standing in the picture above between Jason and John. The below/left picture is of the future living area of the building above. There will be childrens' bedrooms off to the left and right of this room. The work team will help clear this room of all the bricks, wood, nails etc. that are laying around.


The little huts to the right are two "guest" rooms (no windows) where family and friends who visit can stay. They really are very comfortable looking when you go inside.





This little hut shown below is the cooking hut that Israel and his wife, Katerina, use for their personal cooking. They live hundred yards from the building site in a modest home they have built. They help with the schooling for about eight children in the surrounding area. They don't know yet who the children will be that will come to their Childrens' Home, but they know God will bring them if they are faithful to complete what He has put on their heart to this point.
We're excited about this new partnership; new opportunities to serve and to be a help to another ministry - to go "back2back" with them to what God has laid on their hearts.
"For in the Gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: the righteous will live by faith."" Romans 1:17
