Provison In Niger

God has provided since our arrival in Niger:

Guest House Accommodations

For our first month in Niger, we were able to stay at the Southern Baptist Guest house.

This was a great provision as we had room to spread out, generator power, air conditioning and Internet connection. It also had a great place for the boys to play.

A "New" Car

After 3 weeks of car shopping God provided a small Toyota "Picnic", for our family. Though it is over 12 years old, it is in relatively good shape. It can seat more than 4 and is small enough to maneuver the crowded streets. We are grateful for God's provision of our vehicle. Pray that it will stay in good running condition.

Reunion of Friends & Coworkers

We were grateful for the reunions we had with co-workers, Muslim friends and missionary friends. Many of them provided meals, rides, car shopping and house hunting trips for us.

A New House that will soon be "Home"

It was actually our African co-workers who found us a house. Before leaving for Niger they had looked for a house in the area of the church and orphanage. They had sent us pictures but we were not confident enough to say yes, without seeing the house in person.

When we arrived in country we were brought to the house and though it was VERY dirty

we saw potential. We wanted to pray more and look more.

Phil spoke with other "house hunters" and saw a few, but was always brought back to this same house. We sensed that it was God who was directing and we were able to negotiate a good price on the house from the land lord.

Pray that this house will be a home of peace. That once all the "fixing up" is done we can find rest and peace here. That we can open our home to share with many in need of rest or coming to serve.

Arrival of our Bags & Container

We were grateful for the way God provided the arrival of our bags. After a four day flight delay in Paris, our bags arrived 3 days after us in Niger. They had been "missing" for a week, but arrived in good shape, nothing broken or missing.

Our container also arrived, having been sent the week before we left the United States. It arrived in Gods perfect time, the day we took occupancy of the house.

These are just a few of the ways that God has provided.
