ECWA Hospital, Egbe Nigeria

Thanks for your prayers as James and Cindy Borody traveled to and from Egbe hospital in Nigeria. They were very aware of God's hand of protection over them in the many miles of air travel and the long road trip from Abuja to Egbe. 

 

They met a team of 13 people from Canada and the US who accompanied us to Egbe in 2 vehicles. They were blessed to ride in the air conditioned one! The team was part of the the Egbe Revitalization Project. It was a joy to meet them all and get to know them during our week together.

 

 

James was kept busy in the lab with some repairs, training, and retraining! He enjoyed being with the lab staff again who he had met in January. They were thrilled to have him back - and prayed that the Nigerian border would be closed so he could stay longer!

 

 

Cindy saw her housekeeping staff that she had worked with on our previous trip. They were still doing a good job in keeping the hospital clean. A huge blessing for Cindy was seeing a young girl that she had taught in the local school beside the hospital in Jan. The girl was in the hospital with her family visiting her sister who had just had an appendectomy. The girl recognized Cindy from 7 months ago, called her by name, and even sang the song Cindy had taught the class! Needless to say, it was a very special moment for Cindy. We never know who we are going to touch with God's love, or what kind of impact we will make. 

 

 

Cindy was also able to help the new MK teacher on the Egbe compound to set up her one room school. What a blessing for her to be able to share her skills and experience in this area with a young woman who will take on the teaching responsibilities of the Egbe MKs. 

 

 

God's perfect timing was evident throughout the entire week. Many stories of his faithfulness, protection, provision, and grace could be told. Their long journey back home gave them time to reflect on all that had transpired during their time there.

 

Flights were all on time, baggage arrived in Nigeria without any problems, and no hassles at the borders. 

Thanks again for standing with WWLAB in prayer. The Borodys had an amazing week, and give Him all the glory that they could be a small part of reaching the people of Nigeria with the gospel.
