Nigeria ISB - Nov 2012

Nigeria International Scripture Blitz (ISB) - November 2012


What an amazing experience this ISB was! It exceeded all my expectations.

21 Gideons from all over the world, America, Australia, Finland, Norway, South Africa and UK, who had never met before, immediately gelled into an amazing Christian group of brothers who will never forget each other or the experience of working together with our Nigerian Gideon brothers. The Lord blessed us all in absolutely amazing ways: Praise His Holy Name!

Nigeria is a country that is poor by western standards but blessed with many Christians who love the Lord and want to spread the Gospel through His written Word.

When you consider that my Branch in Devon North has a total of eight schools requiring a total of some 1,400 Testaments per year, it is amazing that we visited 1,120 schools and presented 603,139 Schools Testaments in two weeks. The first school I visited had over 1,500 students at an outdoor assembly at 7.50am. How good our God is!

During the Blitz, we spoke at 40 different churches about the Gideon ministry and distributed  a total of 703,560 copies of God's Word.

When I retired from my work I never expected to get up at 4.30am, pray at 5.15am, have breakfast at 6.00am, and be out on the road at 6.30am. Who says God can’t use us as we get older? I am reminded that Moses was 80 before he got started! Our God is a mighty God and He has a sense of humour as well!
