Hi Nigeria Teamsters!!!

***NOTE THE NEW EMAIL ADDRESS!!!


HOW ARE YOU ALL DOING??  This is the first of what would hopefully be a 
series of weekly (tri-weekly??) updates.  I hope to (and please make me) 
keep it short and to the point so I don't lose any of you in the process :0) 
  I am excited, I leave this Sunday at 4:30pm for 5 days of Orientation in 
Toronto before leaving on the 29th for Nigeria.

Prayer requests:
-recent (sept.8) violence and bloodshedd between the Christians & Muslims in 
Jos, Nigeria (the actual city we are assigned to) has resulted in the 
deployment of the army and a curfew in place.  The hospital that we are 
going to was threatened and staff/missionaries were evacuated.  Things have 
calmed down however and SIM Canada made an executive decision on Friday to 
let us go. Please pray for safety & God's wisdom.

-pray for our prep work in Toronto to bbe effective, solid and encouraging.

-pray for team unity between Helena (frrom SFU), Keith (from Toronto) and I, 
for the ability to adjust to the new lifestyle

-pray for God to bring each of us into  a new intimacy with Him as we depend 
on Him for lives saved and changed (including ours!)

love,
shermeen
