Past Missionary Impact

This morning, Beverly, James and I went first to a community about a half-hour’s drive from Jalingo called Sibre. There is a United Methodist Church of Nigeria mission station located there including a Rural Development Program of a fish farm, carpentry training program, garden and clinic. Jusef and Mary are spear-heading this ministry. These Nigerians grew up in Bambur and worked alongside some missionaries from the states and were trained in helping others achieve self-sufficiency and grow in their faith and moved their ministry to this poor village, Sibre. Now, however, the church of Sibre has reached out to a ridiculously remote village, Bagarmi which I had the opportunity to visit on Friday. It is encouraging to see the positive and wide-spread ripple effects that can take place!
