Lagos Update

Dr. Chris returned safely from Lagos and, with the help of the DHL delivery people, was able to convince the authorities to release the Save-A-Life medications. They wanted him to pay a fee (bribe?) but he refused, saying the medications were given to him for free and he will give them to his patients for free. If he pays then they will not be free anymore. We are expecting the shipment any day. To illustrate how random Nigerian flights are, his morning flight out was postponed seven hours because the plane decided to go somewhere else first. On his way home, he got to the airport at 2 pm and was able to take the delayed 10 am flight. We call this ‘Nigerian time’, meaning whenever you feel like it.

  1. Thank God the meds are finally there - I can't believe how long it has been. We miss you all. I miss Nigerian time. You can tell Pastor Ben he is right - we don't stop and allow God to speak to us here, because we are always rushing. I have been rushing since I got back....

    Keep posting Erika.
