Welcome to my home...for now...

Hello all...well, I am here in Abuja, and thought I would give you a bit of a picture of my life here for now.
This is the Daniel Center. This center is a meeting place for people from all walks of life who come together to dialogue about Biblical worldview and how it affects every aspect of life: church, home and family, politics, workplace, and EDUCATION (that's where I come in). The ground level is the Center, and my apartment is upstairs, where I am staying temporarily.




Here is a picture of some of the staff at the Daniel Center. Kasimu (standing,left) is one of our security men. Martha (center) is our admin. assistant. David (right) is the security guard from next door. They are sitting outside of our compound.



Come on in...Welcome to the Daniel Center!



This is the entrance to my office, where I have put up a display of some of the books donated.



Upstairs, I am blessed to have a cook/cleaner assisting me. His name is Elisha...he makes DELICIOUS meals!




Here are some dear friends of mine. Fedora (left), Deve (center), and Daishaun (right) are posing with their news bibs from "Grandma Canada" (that would be my mom!)

hey dear, each time i get a glimpse of your heart and what you are doing, it makes me glad and hopeful for the future. you know we are passionate about this, especially my husband who is filled with righteous anger most of the time- the challenge is channeling all that energy!

Hey Sheila! I've been there before :) I don't think it was quite open yet when I stayed in Abuja, but I do recognize the building. The pictures are great. and Mom's right, we do miss you
