An unexpected Fulani contact

We were joined today by a Rev. Sunday. Turns out he is studying here for a year and is from Ibadan in Nigeria. Some one asked what his group is that he is working on.

Fulani!

After the discussion I asked him when he is returning to Nigeria. Monday he said. How about that!

I told him to be thinking about our program, what we should be doing, how we can be involved later. He seems eager to do that very thing.

We will spend time with him and with Bp. Mutum, the diocesan bishop for Nomads. Also Zacchaeus Asun, Bp. Kafuncahn of the Fulani area, and Bishop Tula, aka The Bulldzer.

What a grand opportunity to have time with this man.

I had an interesting experience at work. I contacted a gentleman in another office to get some information I needed for a report. Turns out he is from Nigeria. He talked about how the missionaries came originally through Lagos and evangelized the southern part of Nigeria, but didn't get to the northern part as transportation was so difficult. He was glad to hear we were going to work with the tribes in the north. Also said the mosquitoes aren't that bad there, but watch out for the Tse Tse flies! / Jerry
