Learning about Nigerian time!

Sunday, Jan. 8th
3:40 p.m.

Well I have not left for Nigeria and I am no longer at the airport. All flights to Nigeria have been cancelled until the general strike is over. I was speaking with My Lord Bishop Dunia and he says these general strikes usually last 2 to 3 days. So my plan is to reschedule as soon as the strike is over.
As Bishop Dunia has put it "God's time is the best. The Lord will make (my) trip possible on His appointed day without any hinderance..... God is in charge."
So I will continue to ask for prayers for the people of Nigeria that the strife which is affecting their every day lives will quickly end. And that those who are involved in this 'Holy war' realize that peace is much greater than war.
God bless,
Jeanne

Packed and Almost Ready to Go

Hello Everyone,

I am just trying this out to make sure I actually know how to do this before I head to Nigeria tomorrow. Thank you all for the wonderful support and encouragement that you have given me over this past month or more as I have prepared for this mission. I am truly blessed to have so many people sending positive thoughts and vibes, praying for me, praying for those with whom I will be working and donating to the people I will be teaching.
There is no way that I can ever repay all of your kindnesses so I ask that God do this for me.
Enjoy the winter months and as the days get longer look to the sky to see the beauty of this world.
God bless,

Jeanne
