- Pastor Kevin and Susan Fletcher asked Grace Christian School (where the children start the 15th of August) for a discount - they gave a 50% reduction!
- Pastor Kevin and Susan sent out an email to our list of supporters and one of the churches in Canton, Ohio paid the remainder of the children's school fees! Paid in full!
- The Living Word Church family in Alma, Arkansas provided all the furniture, and everything from bin bags to linens and from cleaning supplies to specially painted pictures of Abuja for our 9 month rental of a flat in Tulsa. They moved everything in and staged it like a show room home for Julie and the children's arrival on Wednesday.
- Pastor Matt continued in the UK until he received his passport from the Nigerian Consulate in London before he could join Julie and the children on Friday of the same week.
- The family attended two days of Rhema's Campmeeting and church at Rhema Bible Church. There has been allot of divine contacts and relationships already established.
- Pastor Matt went to Oklahoma City, OK to meet with key support pastors and ensure that they are updated on the progress and purpose of the 'Let's Go' vision.
- Jonathan went to Billy Brim's youth camp led by Chip Brim and had a real encounter with God. Plus he was continually followed by little American girls saying, 'just say something' so they could hear his British accent.
- Elisabeth has started Taekwondo and Jonathan started American Football. The entire family will be doing special self-defense training while in the USA.
- The children have had wonderful time with their cousins and grandparents.
- Pastor Matt spent a week in Michigan ministering in 3 churches and visiting with several other churches and mission boards sharing the Let's Go vision - everyone is very excited!
Thanks for your prayers!
See you in church September 7th!
Pastor Matt
