Sometimes that's all there is to say!

It has been an incredible weekend with Seattle Pacific University! Phyllis got her SPU Alumna Of The Year Award Thursday night, with many SPU Alum and beloved friends and family in attendance. Friday, Phyllis attended the Ivy Cutting Ceremony and Graduate Commencement as SPU's honored guest. We also attended lunch with the group of 50th year reunion SPU Alum - what a treat! Saturday we got to be in the middle of T-Mobile Park, where the Mariners play! Phyllis did an EXCELLENT job addressing 6,000 PEOPLE as the Undergraduate Commencement Speaker! She encouraged graduates to live on purpose, for God's purposes, with a strong gospel call. You can watch Phyllis's Undergraduate Commencement Speech HERE!

We wrapped up the weekend at Westside Presbyterian, where Phyllis shared a message titled On Higher Ground. It was a blessed and fruitful time! You can watch Phyllis's address to Westside Presbyterian Church HERE!

Do you have a Bible?

I bet you do! I bet you have 2 - 5 Bibles... I know I do!

This week, Phyllis and I (Carisa, SFA Secretary) shared an AirBnB in Seattle, to attend the amazing SPU events, and visit friends together.

As we sat on the couch, we were chatting about our friends in Nigerian churches who do not have a physical Bible. And often times, even if they did have one, it would do little good, as they can't read it!

I had my Bible nearby, and I reached out to rest my hand on it. I am SO THANKFUL for that book! It is PRECIOUS to me! It gives me life, instruction, wisdom! I DEPEND on this book, to learn more about who God is. I hear God's voice through this book! I honestly can not imagine my life without my Bible. I would be LOST!

So I asked Phyllis, "How can we get God's WORD into the hands of our friends in Nigeria?" Phyllis reminded me that we have handed out HUNDREDS of SD CARDS with the Bible on it! We share them with Christians AND Muslims! Christians are thrilled to have access to these resources. Muslims who want to learn more about Jesus can listen to the material on their phone, and no one will know. It is a very EASY, unobtrusive way to share God's word.

What a wonderful idea! We need more of those! We emailed a trusted SFA board member, Bill Flansburg to help. We asked Bill to contact the company in Canada that produces them for us, and place an order! But how many do we need? 300? 500? 1000?!

We found out that 8GB SD cards can come loaded with ALL OF THIS!

Full Bible
Through the Bible (J Vernon McGee)
God's Story
The Story of Jesus
Good News
Look, Listen, Live
Words of Life
Christian Music

For $7 EACH, we can put ALL OF THAT into the hands of someone who has never heard the whole Bible before! $7 is a pretty inexpensive Bible, we think! So we ordered 500 SD cards to start. We ordered 250 in Fufulde (the primary language spoken by Fulani), 150 in Hausa (another prominent local tribal language), and 100 in English (the national language of Nigeria). They will ship in time for Phyllis to carry them home to our beloved friends the end of July!

We are SO EXCITED about this! The last batch that we handed out saw several people coming to Christ! I am CERTAIN that we will reap a good harvest from this batch of SD Cards, too!

Do you love and cherish your Bible, too? Do you want to buy some SD cards, and help us get God's words into the hands of a believer or unbeliever!? They are $7 each. We ordered 500, which comes to $3,500, and we would LOVE some help to fund them. Click the button below to help us purchase these SD cards!

I CAN'T HELP IT! I HAVE to tell you that God is moving mountains AGAIN this week! We can't share what it IS yet, but I will tell you that God has led us in funny, surprising ways, and left our mouths hanging open in astonishment! What FAVOR! God LOVES the Fulani people! We hope to share in the next email, July 1st...WOW! WOW! WOW!
