We had four days of medical clinics (with 7 doctors seeing over 4000 people) and nightly crusades that brought over 3,900 people to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We had a memorable first night as storm clouds moved in at the start of the crusade, and were supernaturally pushed back, not allowing rain to spoil the first night of the crusade. When God displayed His power over the elements, over 1000 people came to know Christ that night. On the final day of the outreach we were able to meet with village Chiefs, who not only committed their lives to Christ, but also committed the future of this village into the hands of Jesus. God moved on one of the Chiefs to give us 10 acres of land to build a church, parsonage, and satellite clinic as an outreach of the Bible college and hospital ministries. We thank God for all of you who have been faithful to sow into this work, especially Pastor David & Debbie Sell, who have been instrumental in connecting people to African Christian Nationals of Pleasanton, CA, which has been working in a supportive role like M.M.I. God is truly doing great things in these last days. A Muslim uprising in Nigeria had the whole country on alert when we came in and the whole country was without electricity for over a week during our stay. Many Muslims and Christians were killed in riots that broke out just prior to our coming. We thank all of you who were praying for us during this trip, especially as we made our way through customs with 24 bags of luggage (10 bags full of medicine). All of it arrived safely at the mission hospital where it was put to good use. We did surgery and patient rounds in the mornings, and saw outpatients throughout the afternoons. Some evenings and weekends we ministered in local churches and fellowships, seeing God do many good things.

Please pray that we will get the 40-foot container of medical supplies off to Nigeria soon. We're looking forward to another trip to Nigeria in June, which Velvet and our three sons will join. We're planning our next trip to Mexico in September. We appreciate your prayer and financial support for these endeavors, and pray you are also blessed in your kingdom efforts. Anyone wanting to join us on either trip, please let us know as soon as possible.
