96 brethren (including three Americans) from all over Nigeria at FOT 2014

Greetings from JABU Resort, Ondo State, Nigeria where 96 brethren from all over Nigeria, with 3 international family members (they certainly may be visiting and keeping the feast with us, but they are family family in the household of our Father and not visitors!) from the USA are rejoicing together, before the Almighty God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. 

There is excitement and a wonderful sense of Joy Peace and Unity as we all started the feast three days ago. Sermons have been inspiring and the fellowship wonderful. 

Mark Mickelson, our brother, friend and senior pastor for West Africa, from Spokane  arrived in Lagos 2nd of October, a week ahead of the feast of Tabernacles and the feast of the Eight Day. He enjoyed a relaxed night and fellowship with my family and on Saturday, the Day of Atonement, we drove an hour and half through the Nigeria-Rep of Benin border to spend the day in fellowship and serve the family of God in Cotonou.  It was an interesting journey as always, with all the extortion of money to stamp passports and the scenario impressed me more with the world's need for the Kingdom of God, and I look forward to a time when the Devil, the enemy of man and all God's people would be bound and restrained and the world would indeed be at one with God the Father. 

On Monday evening, Mrs Mickelson and Laura Kersey arrived safely to Nigeria. It was Laura's first visit to the giant of Africa. On tuesday, 7th, we left a day early to the feast site, a 3 1/2 hour drive through various towns and countryside. It was a relief to finally arrive at the feast site and settle in to a wonderful 8 days of fellowship, feasting and being encouraged, educated, inspired, edified and generally fed with the word of God.
