"Jesus, all for Jesus, all I am and have and ever hope to be. For it's only in your will that I am free; for it's only in your will that I am free. Jesus, all for Jesus, all I am and have and ever hope to be!"
Today I celebrated my one year anniversary here in Nigeria. As I look back on the last year my heart is filled with gratitude for what God has done. Some highlights of ministry this year include:
- Witnessing one of my dearest patients Ladi gain salvation and be transformed by the mighty power of Jesus. Also taking care of her during her last hours on earth and singing together.
- Starting free HIV testing at our center. Being apart of President's Bush's AIDS initiative here at our mission hospital and helping monitor our patients on AIDS drugs.
- Seeing many children who are HIV positive improve significantly and gain weight as well as start to eat better.
- Visiting many patients in their homes to share the gospel and pray together with them for the healing power of God.
- Successful completion of five home-based care trainings in the local churches.
- Working with nine adherance counselors and training them to care for those infected with HIV/AIDS.
- Mentoring two young Nigerian women in the ways of the Lord.
"In him we were also chosen having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of HIS glory!"
Ephesians 1:11-12
