Update: Planting of Crops Summer 2018

Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Jesus Christ. I am delighted to inform you of recent developments with our farm project. 
The big news is that we cultivated the land about the middle of May but then we couldn't get enough rain for planting. I was personally stretched with lack of rain as time was running out on us. We praise our God who gives rain in due season.(Zachariah 10:1; Lev.26:4). Indeed, the Lord heard our cry and sent rain. 
I have attached some pictures of  the cultivation and planting of corn.
Challenges:
Our greatest challenge was delayed rainfall. Another concern is the threat from Fulani herdsmen. These herdsmen go about killing and maiming vulnerable villagers. 
Prayer points:
1. Ask God to give us bountiful harvest 
2. Join us pray for the divine protection of our lives and crops.
3. Thank God for his grace so far.
I thank you all for your prayers and encouragement. Thank you especially for making the farm project a reality.

  Greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am delighted to inform you that the first batch of women's empowerment training went well. Let me apologize for the pictures. Some of the qualities are not quite as good as the previous year, so I decided to attach a lot of them so you have options. Also included is a short video of the training. Please play the video so you can hear my voice again after all these years. Twenty women, including out-of-school girls and internally displaced adults, gathered at Murya, Nasarawa State, to learn how to make hair cream and Vaseline. They were also given seed capital to help them start their businesses. The session began with a Bible study to provide a background for a holistic approach to the ministry of caring for the soul and body.  The community leader was represented by Rev. Moses Igboro, the resident minister of the Evangelical Reform Christian Church(ERCC) who also helps to dispense the cash. After the training, it was agr

Women Empowerment Training 3.22.21

  Greetings, in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ, The last and final batch of the training went well to the glory of God. Our goal was to train 20 vulnerable rural Christian women and out-of-school girls but we had 7 more women in attendance who were not enrolled in the program but wanted to be a part of it. We only offered them the training and could not provide any start-up capital as our budget did not cover them. The objective of our project is to provide sustainable and transformative business opportunities for poor rural women and out-of-school girls. Also, the women were trained to make the rocket stove in addition to the baseline, which they would produce as a source of income for their families. Let me apologize for the pictures. I am not able to send a good number because of the weak internet access. So, please expect more pictures after this one. I would like to thank all of you for supporting me in this endeavor. Some of you donated to fund the project, while othe
