Bannah Center for Community Transformation (BACCOT)

Greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for praying always. Our outreach for the end of year went well to the glory of God. Again thank you for participating in so many ways.  We started day one with prayers, sing praises and film show, water filtration for kids and sermon. We donated a sawyer filter to be used for filtering water ​  for ​  kids in the community. I am uploading a video clip of the water source where every member of the community go to fetch water. Everything went well  ​ on the very first ​  first as far as equip goes. The projector and the megaphone  developed problem the second day but we managed to shoot film as scheduled. We had a wonderful service with ​ ​ those who become members of God's family ​. we give praise to God who opened for us the door to share with Gambon people in many ways. I am sorry the video size is too large and won't upload right now....

Greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Last month I went for a mission survey at Gambon, a village below the Mambilla plateau  north east Nigeria.  God has provided for all we needs for this outreach. Tomorrow Joshua my son and I will be leaving  with our team members  for the field. We should be home by Sunday evening. This is our special Christmas gift for those who are yet to hear the goodness in clearest terms.  Prayer focus: 1. Pray for our safety.  2. Joshua is going for the first time. Pray for a lasting impact on his life. I am excited he will be my right hand man in the field.  3. Pray that our equipment will function well  4.Pray autrance and boldness to declare the word of God.  5. Pray for outpouring of the Spirit of God.  6. Cover our team members and their families with prayers.

Many greetings. And most importantly happy belated Thanksgiving. My Internet access has been an issue. Recently Helen and I met with 10 of the 15 women on our small business scheme at the school  head master's house to disburse more loans. These 10 women paid off their previous loan much earlier than we thought. The remaining 5 women require a lot of following up and patience from the two of us. As part of encouragement, we gave each of the 10 women $85 amounting to a total of  $850. Repayment will be 17th of January, 2017. As from next week we will be pairing the group of 5 women with some of these "successful" One's for mentoring. Also, we will be doing direct capturing of their business activities as resources for our future training. Thank you so much for being a part of this project that is making meaningful impacts on the lives of these internally displaced women. We couldn't have come this far without someone like you.
