Update 11

Sorry this is a little late. I couldn't post it in Nigeria because I was blocked but here it is.
Hello Everyone,
This is my last update until I get back to US. I want to thank you all so much for your prayers. I appreciate them so much. The Lord has protected us and helped us with everything that we have done. PTL for everything that He has used us for here.
Right now it is beginning to rain. The rain here is beautiful. I love it here. The coolness before the rain is the best part about it.
There have been many things that have been going on here this last week. I was able to go to a few villages with the film show before I had to take my projector to the person who wanted it. I pray that many people would come to Christ through this presentation of the gospel. Last week I was out in a village and they wanted us to come back. I wish we could have but we were not able to. Some of the older men were very happy we came.
I went to Akpacha on Friday morning for evangelism. That was a really good trip the first thing was that it was where my grandparents had been when they last came and the second thing was that the first known Christian in Igala land was from there. I was able to meet his youngest son as well as many others of my grandparents friends. It was a very good trip. Challenging the Christians and meeting with them. Then on Saturday grandpa picked me up and we took the vehicle we were borrowing back to the Dibble/ Wheelers and said goodbye to them. Then we came back to the orphanage. We are finishing up things here and spending time with the kids. It is going to be hard to say goodbye but I am ready to start preparing for my next trip here. The Lord has been so good to us this trip. I love this place and hope to come back in the near future. There are so many needs here. It is a hard place to evangelize because there are so many Muslims but God is still here and He is at work.
Yesterday another little baby boy came in. The mother had died and the father was unable to care for him. Pray for the father also as he has had to give up both his wife and son.
Please pray for the school here they have four teachers for eight classes. They are short on teachers and so they are doing a morning and afternoon class. It has been difficult for them and they really need some more teacher. Continue to pray for the Muslims here. There are many of them and they need Christ. Pray for the American missionary here at the orphanage, Crystal Gosnell. She is a hard worker and a great encouragement to many people. Also pray for the rest of the staff here as they are always busy and rarely have a break from their work.
We will be leaving tomorrow morning for Mrs. Gross’ and then on Friday to catch our flight home. It is a little sad but also exciting because I have to go away in order to come back. I know the Lord has something else in store for my life and I am excited about that. PTL for allowing me to have this time here in Nigeria.
Your brother in Christ,
TJ Kerttula
