OK my wife beat me to my update about this weekend.
Well Friday afternoon we received an e-mail from a gentlemen that was in town who works for WorldVenture. He was in town for something at Dallas Theological Seminary and would like to meet with us on Saturday. Well I emailed him back about setting up a time for Saturday.
Around noon thirty I received a call from him and asked if we were still available to meet up with him today. Well we set up a time to meet him around 3 that afternoon at Starbucks (mmmm Banana Creme) down near SMU. We met with him for an hour and he mentioned a number of things that would work for us to be heading over to Nigeria in the future.
After meeting with SIM the Thursday before meeting with WorldVenture (WV) we were feeling confident that SIM was the direction that we were being lead. Well after meeting with WV we have a second agency that would lead us to Nigeria as well.
There are some major differences but yet similarities. So we have much praying, not that we did not already, ahead of us and plenty of listening to the Lord on who we are to work under.
Our biggest concern is how involved the Lord is needing us to be while in Nigeria. With SIM my brother and his friend with SIM could write our Job Discription for us while we are there. WV is not yet located in Nigeria but wants to get invloved there. This is where we become part of their vision to open up Nigeria to ministries for future WV work. At first we would be under WV but partnered with SIM until we identify a need that is yet to be filled. From there we would need to set up the Ministry and the roles that would apply. Yikes!!
SIM would over many opportunities to setting up different ministries as well but not setting up an Agencies whole agenda for them to start ministry there.
That could be a huge task but with the Lord's help and guidance He would be honored in our service.
Well sometime this week we are hoping to set up meetings with our Church's Mission office to talk over our options. Also we should be talking with my bro in Nigeria this week as well and see what he thinks of everything. If you have not found Skype yet it is FREE PC to PC calling anywhere in the world. I have spoken to a friend in France and my brother in Nigeria with perfect clarity all for FREE. Just a little FREE Advertising for Skype.
So if you could pray for his direction in this all that would be awesome.
