The Maskeys in Nigeria
June 2015
Dear Fellow Laborers,
A New Church Has Started!
About three years ago, one
of our church members donated some land to us in the town of Omoku, about 80
miles northwest of Port Harcourt. As God
supplied, we began to develop the property and build a building for a new
church. One of our Bible school
graduates, Dennis Osueke, supervised most of the work there and felt that God
was leading him to be the pastor of the new church. Whenever we took groups for soul winning
there in the town of about 50,000 people, we always had a good response and
many saved. Finally this year, on April
26th, we held our first service at the Grace Independent Baptist
Church of Omoku with a total of 51 in attendance and 12 souls saved that
morning. They also had 52 for Mothers Day on May 10 (see pictures at maskeysnigeria@blogspot.com). Another one of our Bible school students,
Innocent Ukpong, is there with Pastor Osueke and his family helping in this work,
which is our fourth church plant. We are praying for great things to happen, and
for God to use them in a mighty way in the town of Omoku.
Happy Graduation!
Our daughter, Carissa,
graduated from Hyles-Anderson College on May 8, and we are very proud of
her. We are presently in the States for
a few weeks for her graduation, and she will be coming back with us to Nigeria
for two months, then returning back for an internship program at HAC after
that. It was also a blessing to spend
some time with Jonathon & Jenny and our first grandchild, Russell, who is now
two months old. They are doing very well
at Granite Baptist Church in Glen Burnie, MD.
We also spent some good time with our son, Joshua, who is living in
Michigan and seems to be staying very busy working in a job there. Please continue to pray for all of them for
God’s will and direction in their lives.
Our other churches are
continuing to do very well, and please pray for them, especially in our short
absence. Things seemed to have calmed
down for now in Nigeria after the elections, and we are grateful for that. We are also grateful for your prayers and
faithful support! You are a great
blessing to us and may God richly bless you all in the days ahead.
Yours for His Service,
David, Rose, Cayla & Justin
