Thanksgiving Praises

Happy Thanksgiving!

Greetings everyone! I pray that you are having a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving this year with your family and friends. Though I am far from home this Thanksgiving, there is so much to be thankful for. Please thank our Father for the following:

* Five Fulani have confessed Jesus as their Savior in a village where two of my teammates are working, including the chief!
* Several women who have decided to follow Christ came to last week’s time of worship in one village.
* We have many students who have answered God’s call to come serve alongside us among the Fulani.
* As we were going to sleep last week in our hut, we heard several men sharing Bible stories with their wives and others.
* The family that recently joined our team has settled into their home. It is a huge blessing to have them so close to us.
* After leaving one village for over a month, the Fulani there have expressed interest in having one of our teammates spend more time there.
* In another teammate’s village, the family she has lived with in the bush for sometime has been very open to the Gospel and has taken her in as one of their own.
* A volunteer team recently visited a Fulani village where one of my teammates works and was able to spend a lot of time with the chief who is asking serious questions and earnestly seeking to know more about faith in Jesus.

Praise God for his faithfulness and provision. He is working in a mighty way among the Sokoto Fulani. Thank you for your prayers on behalf of my team and the Sokoto Fulani.
