On the first day of May, Sabrina, along with Victoria, LaDonna, and Aaron, arrived back to the U.S. Joseph and Sabrina’s mom were joyfully waiting to pick them up in Louisiana. Brian, Noah, and I enjoyed an extended layover for a couple of days to do some sightseeing in London for Brian’s senior trip. The rest of May was filled with two graduations and a senior recital for Brian and another music recital in which all of my kids participated. For the first time, every member of my family was involved in the Summer Missionary Institute for Training and Evangelism at the end of May in Louisiana.
As soon as S.M.I.T.E. ended, Sabrina and I departed for several meetings in the Midwest, while Brian and Victoria started a four-week Bible Club Blitz with over 20 other S.M.I.T.E. graduates and staff. A highlight for Sabrina and me was to meet Juliet, the Langs’ new baby; please pray for this dear family that works with us to have a safe transition back to Nigeria in July at the conclusion of their furlough. Also in June, I had the opportunity to participate in a Pastors’ Conference at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Mexico City after a couple of meetings in California.
June 1 marked 20 years since Sabrina and I started our first term in Nigeria. Both Truth Baptist and Grace & Glory celebrated their anniversaries (19th and 10th respectively) in the month of May, and Providence rounded up another semester in time for our students to begin their required internships during the break. Our television ministry also added another program in June, which now makes 8 weekly half-hour programs in 6 languages airing to a potential audience of 100 million people.
June 22 became a milestone for Truth Baptist Church, as it was the first Sunday for regular services in our new auditorium. We were waiting for the ceiling to be completed and the full public address system to be installed; thankfully, we had already celebrated a few special services (a dedication, Easter Sunday, and our Pastors’ Conference) before my family’s furlough. We wish to especially thank everyone who has given so generously up to this point. Please continue to pray that the remaining works (bathrooms, baptistery changing rooms, an office, floor tiles, and benches) will be accomplished soon.
Believing God,
Mark Holmes
