Reproduction taking place - But what kind?

We are experiencing several different kinds.
Meet Paul, Angelina Didi and their new born son. Paul works as a security guard for the mission house. This is their second child, which came 10 years after their first. Mom and the baby are doing fine. The boy want have a name until October. So until then the father said they will call him chairman, as he dictates what happens around their home right now. The naming ceremony and dedication is a big event here. It is a special time for the parents to remember back upon as they raise their children.

When it comes to reproducing our workers are doing a good job of it. Besides Paul & Angelina's new son we also have two other babies due in the next two months. The other Security guard's wife is expecting within the next few weeks. It will be their first. Dem, who has worked here longer than anyone else, is expecting their third child after September. They would all appreciate your prayers for them.

We also seem to be reproducing something else besides babies as the workers recently killed this creature (commonly called a "bush rat"). He was hiding in a storage shed when we scared him out. The men caught him and as you can see below they enjoyed it. They say the meat is quite tasty. We hope that is the last one we will see for a while. Our dog Frisky usually catches them if she see them around. Of course she enjoys them also.
As we also continue to reproduce disciples we appreciate your interest in our ministry. The young man holding the bush rat is our driver and he has a real heart for the Lord and hunger for the Word of God. Be sure to contact us if you have any questions, and especially if you have any interest in coming to Nigeria some day.
