Having lived and served as career Christian missionaries
in the Philippines, Southeast Asia for these past five years, we think it’s
time for us to take stock of what the Lord God has done and is doing in our
lives as long-term foreign missionaries. This is the reason why we’ve started
to consider retiring back to Nigeria in order kick-start another round of
inland mission work there by His grace
We strongly believe that this planned move is strategic,
and also the leading of God for us at this material time. We’re always very
careful in following God’s will for us! When we finally get back to Nigeria in
few years from now, our work will be mainly to train and mobilize the younger
missionaries for the global missions.

To commence this eventual withdrawal to Nigeria, we’ve
decided to take a vacation of a few months to Nigeria early next year. Our idea
is to survey a lot of things, do wider consultation with some of our mentors/supporters,
and also seek their counsel and guidance. Some or even most of them have been
experiencing born-out or what may be called donor fatigue. The reason for this
is simple, definitely as a result of our long absence from home. This then informs
the reason for us to get home and sensitize again them for future involvement
in the remaining segment of our mission work here in the Philippines.
Further to that, during the vacation, we’ll do a
memorial service for our late daughter Nkeoma, who went to be with the Lord by
April this year. We’ll also fix a mission awareness/thanksgiving fellowship, a
forum where we intend to meet with some of our supporter. Some we’ve never met formerly, and some we
met over five years ago. It’s also in our agenda to visit lots of churches across
Nigeria, and the idea for all these mission activities is to raise more support
– financial and prayer.
Raising the support in Nigeria will greatly enable
us plan better when we get back to the Philippines on the planned movement back
home. We’re of the opinion that our effective time of final retirement back to
Nigeria will be in the next two years or so from now, God willing.

The final movement in few years coming will take a
lot from us, in terms of getting a new home, and setting up a ministry base in
Nigeria. Our children also have to be fixed in their proper schools where they’ll
continue their education unhindered.
For I and my wife to embark on the vacation early next
year, we’re looking at a whopping four thousand Dollars ($4, 000) and above.
This amount looks very staggering and scaring to us, but we trust God who sent
us out here way back in 2008, who was able to raise over $10, 000 for our
air-ticket and our start up fund to do it again!
