The Body of Christ - His Church - Next Chapter Group

Hi Everyone,
Crist and I took the team to Abuja on Friday afternoon for them to get their plane for the U.S. What a great week it had been with this group of believers from Next Chapter Church in Covington, Kentucky. They worked hard, served humbly, loved the children greatly and became as brothers and sisters to all on the B2B staff. We will miss them.
The picture up above is of the team taken when we did an outreach to the widows at the village. What a great day that was, taking the picture of each widow, getting prayer requests from each and having prayer stations where we prayed for their needs. Then we had a plastic bag filled with rice, sugar, Maggi cubes (bouillon cubes), raman noodles and oil that was given to each widow. We're trying to establish relationships with the widows so we can better address their needs and the needs of their families. Many of their prayer requests were dire - food to live on, HIV challenges, salvation for their families and many many requests for healing of the physical ailments they are living with. And, of course, whenever any group goes into the village, the children follow and within minutes there were twenty to thirty children wanting love and attention (which they received).

There were several opportunities for the team to experience the "Rocks" - for doing their devotions on as well as for climbing. Everyone feels drawn by these boulders.

Work projects were done at the Education Center and some of it was sticky and smelly (see last picture below). But all the work was "done as unto the Lord" so there was much laughter and joy as everyone worked together. As soon as we get more pictures downloaded, we'll be doing one more blog on some of the things this team experienced.

Hopefully, you'll get a more complete picture of what this ministry is about and maybe it will even encourage you to think about coming here for yourself.
The man to the far left in this picture and the man in the far right in this picture are the two pastors at Next Chapter Church, Rob and Aaron. Well, that's all for now but stay tuned for lots of pictures on the next blog. A joyous Sunday to each of you!!

In-joy,

Eileen and Crist
