At Work and Play...and in Between

We like to go to City Park and enjoy a drink and grilled fish and chips.  
You pick the fish you want, then they grill and spice it up - head and tail and all!

We joined a hiking group one Saturday called "Abuja Hash".
We hiked up an area that gave us a beautiful view of Abuja.

Weddings are an EVENT. You don't need to know the bride and groom to attend.
This pose was from a wedding of a sibling of some good friends of Sheila from her Jos days.  

Jonathan took advance of the skills of one of the teachers we trained last year through "Teachers Transforming Nigeria". Yemi gave him a few talking drum lessons.

Kasimu is one of our security staff at the Daniel Centre.
We went to "greet" him and his family after the Radaman fasting period.
We were given delicious traditional treats of roasted ram and "chin chin" (a fried sweet crunchy bread treat).

We have been attending a church called "Abuja Ark International Church".
It consists of people from all over the world.  Jonathan and Sheila led the Christmas service.

In the middle of this picture is a woman we call "Sister Teju".
 She is a Nigerian missionary stationed in Cotonou, Benin.
 Jonathan and her were in the same classes at the Daniel Centre last year.
She has a passion for equipping teachers and invited us to be part of a retreat she hosted for teachers in Benin.
 This is us with her planning team.

After the intense work of training in Cotonou in French for a few days, we enjoyed New Year's on the beach drinking from coconuts!

Jonathan created this wall size Nigeria map and the Biblical Story display for Teachers Transforming Nigeria program last year.



Jonathan has been creating beautiful thank you cards for supporters.  Here is a sample.  This one is a view he captured while in Ibadan, Nigeria last year.
