We have been very blessed by our Nigerian friends. Both Pastor E and Pastor B have been amazing. We certainly have enjoyed their sense of humour and the amount of time that we have been together has been excellent. Pastor E took time out of his week to drive us to Kaduna. Both pastors have a very clear understanding of the Peacemaker materials and desire to continue to build peacemaking in their communitites. Pastor B's wife and family have blessed us with delicious meals. We know they have reduced the "hotness" for our benefit.
Both families have hosted us in their homes for dinner but many of the meals are being delivered to us at the guest house. Everyone has been wonderful, even the security guards at the compound.
Love John and Shirley

continued....
The drive home was interesting. We were two hours late leaving and SIM has a rule that pastors and missionaries are not allowed to drive after dark. SIM rules also have a speed limite rule (not over 100 km) Pastor E was teasing us and said we would travel by ECWA rules (no speed restriction) so we would not have to break the SIM rule about driving after dark. We arrived safely in Jos, tired, hot and dusty. We were quick to enjoy a cold shower with the assistance of a bucket.
We attended ECWA church services this morning and Pastor E preached for 50 minutes. It was an excellent sermon and he reminded us of Pastor Don who sometimes breaks into a song in the middle of a sermon. Meet and greet with 500+ people was very lively.....again we were blessed by the praise and worship.
This afternoon we are getting organized for our trip to the hill tribes of Michika, travelling 600 km. Pastor B has borrowed a Nissan 4x4 vehicle for the journey. We leave at 6:00 am om Monday. The terrain is very rough with lots of hill tribes and small villages. We are still teaching the Peacemaker materials but probably under a tree. The tribal people have been invited to congregate in several different settings and the church building will be too small and too hot. We will be hiking to get to some of these villages. Please pray for stamina as the temperatures are very hot once again. (mid 40"s). Please also pray that we have access to water....we have a filter with us but we have not yet used it and in an emergency we can use it but our Canadian mentality prefers bottled water.
We have been told that we may encounter snakes. A very kind gentleman told us this morning after church that the government has now provided the tribal villages with anti-venom for snake bites. Please pray for safety and that we do not have any close encounters. They also have large lizards 3-4 feet long. We return on Friday to Jos because Saturday is a no travel day due to elections beginning on April 2nd. We will not have access to Pastor E's computer for at least a week but we shall try to blog when we return.
Blessings to all

Sunday
Kaduna Conference
We (along with Pastor Emmanuel and Pastor Bitrus)had a long drive from Jos to Kaduna on Thursday (300 km), most of the road was good pavement but tthere was one section that was rough. We stopped part way to visit with the Pridham sisters who have been ministering for 25 years at the Widow's School. It is very difficult living conditions, as compared to Canada and our prayers are with them. We met the school principal and staff. There are currently about 60 widows at the school but sometimes they have as many as 100. The widows range in age from 16 - 35 and they can spend as much as 3 years at the school learning basic literacy and a domestic skill such as knitting or sewing. These skills can translate into a means of earning some income in the future. The husband of the VP at the widow's school died 3 weeks ago and they are unsure of the families response. It is customary for the grieving family to take the children away from the wife and also to take any property or possessions that the husband may have purchased. Please hold them in prayer.
As we travelled we passed some very rugged terrain but people were still farming in spite of the rocks. Women in particular have a very difficult life, especially in the rural areas. We witnessed a lady carrying a very large container of gravel on her head at a construction site. Many women were searching for sticks and walked miles to find this only to have to walk back to their home or small village with wood for cooking.
The attendance at the Kaduna conference was excellent. Bitrus has hoped to have 30-40 people but in actual fact we had between 75-80. About 1/3 were pastors and another 1/3 church elders. They are desiring to become Peacemaking Churches. The violence in Kaduna finished a few years ago and the people have been living in relative peace.
Kaduna is a city 3 - 4 times larger than Toronto with no high rise buildings, a few 3 story buildings, no public transit, no street lights, no stop signs..........imagine driving in the city. The hotel was adequate but many amenities that we take for granted were lacking. We found the city to be vewry dusty and there was no breeze during our time there. The temperatures were in the mid 40"s . We were given a gift of fresh eggs by an elderly gentleman who had attended the conference. We were humbled by his generousity.

continuation of previous post...........
Tomorrow we are leaving early in the morning to travel to Kaduna. We are stopping to have lunch with the Pridham sisters. We were disappointed to miss our lunch engagement on Monday and have been invited to their small village called Samar-Kataf for lunch at their home. This village is only about 3 km off the main highway. Both PAstor Bitrus and Pastor Emmanuel will be trvelling with us. They find it strange that we are visiting and bring a parcel to people that we do not know personally and have never met.
Please pray for safety on the road, and for the teaching of the seminars at the "Good News High Cost Church" in Kaduna. We have been told the temperatures will be in the 40's so please pray also that we will have the stamina to withstand these temperatures.
Nagode da adu'a ku (thank you for your prayers)

Sanu (hello)
Mun kawo maku gaisuwa daga Nigeria
(We bring greetings from Nigeria)
We are learning some of the "hawse" language (pronounced house - aa)
Yester day was a quiet day near ur community and we enjoyed walking around the compound in the morning. People are very freindly and always willing to chat with us. We met a lovely lady at the counselling centre (Ann - we thought of you..... you should come here). The same building is housing a medical clinic with capabilites fr lab work. The construction of the building is completed and they are still waiting for the furnishings. The counsellor's offoce had a sand box for children's play thereapy.
Many of the students here do plan to go to the USA for their PhD and then return home to Nigeria to aid their own communities or to teach here. There are many, many churches and church organizations in and around the city of Jos.
The Canadian embassy is doing an amazing job of keeping track of our whereabouts. We have had numerous email communications and when they initially could not find us they were calling other Canadian missionaries asking if they knew us and where we were. The information had been provided on our embassy registration but they could not reach us by phone or email. We are not sure why the email did not get us connected. Anyway they spent much of Sunday trying to trace us and on Monday we exchanges several emails with Ed Cashman (the ambassador stationed in Abuja). Ed had also called Doreen - head of SIM (mission agancy) thinking we were part of an SIM team. Doreen called the provost, the president of JETS (Jos ECWA Theological Seminary) whom we had met at our seminars on the week-end. This all led to a visit from Andy Hardings yesterday. He is called a "warden" and represents the ambassador in the area of Jos. He had been called by Ed and asked to visit us to ensure our location and our wellness. Andy has lived in Jos for almost 30 years and also spent time in Canada (BC), although he is originally from Amsterdam. He has many roles as a missionary in Jos, one of which is caring for folks such as us. The Nigerians are very impressed at the concern of the Canadian government for our well-being. They have told us that the Nigerian government would never look for their own people in the same way the Canadian government is looking for us. It made us feel very proud to be Canadian.
In the afternoon we we went to a rural community about 30 minutes from the compound. It is on the edge of the city. As we travelled we passed through an area called (by the locals) the "mechanics village". It is miles of broken down vehicles and open air repair shops for cars and trucks. We saw evidence of burned out over turned vehicles. The people in this area are very poor.
We travelled to a church to teach the peacemaker seminars.Originally we were to teach Monday - Wednesday but Monday was cancelled due to "skirmishes". We have condensed our materials into two days of teaching. About 100 people attended yesterday's seminar and their questions indicated to us that they understood the teaching and could make application to their own life situations.

Interesting day
The weather here is beautiful. Sunny and warm......rather hot 32-35 degrees. When wel eave Jos on Thursday for Kaduna we will have warmer temperatures due to a lower elevation. Then the temp will be around 40 degrees. Jos is at a higher elevation and situated on a very large plateau thus cooler.
The seminars at ECWA church were well attended and very successful. John preached on Sunday at two services which were also well attended (over 500). John preached becasue it is not acceptable for a woman to preach. Pastor Emmanuel, the Sr. Pastor is very much in favour of women pastors but some of the elders are not. It is interesting because many women with theological degrees (PhD) teach the pastors at the seminary.
We had planned to have lunch with the Pridham's today at a small restauant that they frequent. We have changed these plans because of local violence. We have seen smoke billowing from a burned car and heard guns and even some machine gun fire from our front porch at the guest house. It was 1 -2 km away but still very evident to us at the house. We continue to be well looked after here at the house. There is 24 hour security and also a house attendant (Jonathan) who is wonderful. He even offered to do our laundry. Pastor Bitrus' wife Monica is bringing prepared food to us. We are in a safe location here.
We were invited to Pastor Emmanuel's home last night with his wife Lydia. We watched the news and saw the police report aboout yesterday's violence. Pastor Emmanuel lives on the ECWA compound so it was very close to the guest house. Yesterday two men on a motorcycle had a bomb and "blew themselves up" when the bomb detonated before they got to their intended target. Since it was a Sunday morning it is presumed that the target was one of two nearby churches. This was in another section of Jos. Bitrus' daughter says this is now on facebook.
John thought we should go closer and do an "I-report video" for CNN. (just kidding). People here climb the water tower for a better view of what is happening.
Our itinerary changes frequently and we are very flexible so this is not a problem for us. We are currently scheduled to do an extra 3 day seminar for a specific church that could not attend the week-end seminars. This new teaching will take place Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday but this may also change due to the current events of the day.
Both yesterday and today we have had lots of email communication with the Canadian embassy located in Abuja. We have been surprised by the contact. They are definitely keeping us informed and also wanting to know where we are and that we are safe. They had tried phoning all day yesterday but we had the phone turned off most of the day because we were at church, had afternoon naps and then out to dinner. We check John's blackberry frequently and have told them to contact us via email and the blackberry.
We have borrowed Pastor Emmanuels computer to do this posting so we are not sure when we will be able to make another posting..............but please keep checking.
Love to all

teaching day
Hi
We have had a day of rest and review of our materials. Our teaching begins at 4:00 and goes into the early evening. We have a meeting with the media and possibly government officials before we start the seminars.
This is new information as of this morning. It is important that the local government officials see what ECWA is doing to aid in the conflict in the area.
Blessings to all
John and Shirley
ps- I tried to load some pictures but Pastor Emmanuel's computer said there was a security risk.....so there may not be pictures forthcoming unless someone can tell me a different way to load pictures from my "USB" key...........

teaching day
We are behind in our blog information because we really lack internet here in Nigeria. Hydro is intermittent and we have no means of connecting to the internet using our computer. Currently Pastor Emmanuel is letting us use his computer for this post. We are being treated extremely well by our hosts.
Yesterday we drove from Abuja to Jos, aporximately 300 km. We had numerous security checks along the road and there were numerous obstacles placed on the road to ensure drivers were forced to slow. We have some pictures of logs laying on the road and you must weave around them .....feels like a NASCAR driver at times. As we approached Jos there were many more security checks and we witnessed burned out cars and homes as a result of recent violence. The clashes are political, religious and economic.....various tribal groups. Apparently it often begins by "swarming" at night. Certainly nighttime is when many people are out and about in the streets and road side markets.
Our itinerary is changed slightly. The first election occurs on April 2nd and prior to this there are political campaigns and we do not want to get caught up in the gathering of large crowds. Rather than fly from Yola we may take an extra day and drive. We may also do some treking in the mountain area to reach some of the remote tribal groups as seen in the video that we showed at church.
Here it is customary for a man to preach and so John will do the preaching at the Sunday services and we co-teach the Peacemaker teaching opportunities. We are also teaching an addition series of Peacemaker materials on Mon, Tues and Wed............this was a request from one of the churches that was not able to come to the first conference and they wanted the teaching........... we have a very busy schedule.
Blessings to all and thank you for your continued prayers. John and Shirley
ps - I was going to post a picture or two but the camera battery was dead because I left it on by mistake....maybe another post

First hurdle.............
Hi folks
We are at Toronto airport. We have checked our luggage but had some issues. Our checked baggage was all under weight and the attendant sent it through before checking our carry on luggage. We needed to do some rearranging because our carry on luggage was at the max............it would have been easy to take stuff from our carry on and place it in our checked luggage but it was already sent into "space".
The attendant told us to rearrange items so we basically stuffed my backpack into John's backpack. We had read the rules carfully and thought we were ok with one business bag and one personal bag each. Our interpretation of a personal bag was incorrect. After rearranging we had the same amount of stuff just all in one backpack. Instead of two skinny backpacks we had one over stuffed backpack but it looked like less than before. We then went through customs and waited in the "holding tank" for our flight. While waiting we noticed that other people had 4 carry on bags exactly the same size as our bags. We assume they had a different attendant with a different perspective. Anyway we have 2 business bags and one over stuffed backpack so it is easy to manage........all is well that ends well.
Our checked luggage goes directly to Nigeria so that is a blessing too.

today is departure day...........
I think the Lord is preparing the way for lots of sleep while on the plane later this evening. I can't think of any other reason why I have been lying awake for over an hour. I also have thought of some other items to preach about and will write dowm my thoughts or His thoughts before daylight. I think today will be a long day of "just waiting" for the plane to actually "lift off".

one more sleep............
Hello everyone
Thank you for being part of our network of friends. We have a number of people who have expressed an interest in praying and keeping up to date about our travels and work in Nigeria. We do not have everyone's email and to make things easier we have set up a blog where we hope to post pictures and keep everyone up to date about a variety of things that may be happening.
There may be times when we do not have access to internet and will need to rely on John's blackberry for some email contact. We hope that we can post (pictures or messages) on a regular basis.
When we looked at the blog this morning, we noticed that we had friends already.............John is his humorous voice said...."I didn't know we had two friends."
If you want to join as a friend the process is fairly simple...........just follow the sign-in and follow the instructions (basically you need an email address and create a password)
You can read the blog without signing in by just using the above blog address.

two more sleeps..........
Just two more sleeps until we depart. We are excited to know that we have many prayer partners with whom we are sharing this experience.
Nothing that we experience will compare at all to what the people in Japan are experiencing. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.
We live in a troubled time and our strength and hope comes from Him.
Blessings

This is my first time using a blog so I am just trying to get it figured out before we depart for Nigeria on Tuesday.
Blessings to all.
