I t la Iridaod a happy nr year
for

renewed Eesidence Psiwit
af ter
two long monthf of waiting and
praying.
I t
was
renewed
for two years. We thank
you fo r your
prayer
and fo r your many l e t t e r s
of
concern. We are great ly
biassed
in your friendship and love and in r
fiearenly JatJier^s
wonderful
care,

The new
year
in
Nigeria began with
the
KLlitary
GoTern-
ment
regulating
salaries
of civil servants
which includes teachers, doctors and
nurses, gome doctors and nurses are s t i l l on strike
in
Lagos State, However,
hospitals
here
in
Western State
seem to
be operating normally. One
evangelist
has been
receiving
treatment at the Otta
Bistrict Hospital
and another
evangelist
is
in
the
Otta Hospit al
r ight
now.
The
new
year brought dust
winds off
the Sahara
desert.
This
is ccmmonly
called
the harmattan, I t is a good time
for
us here in
the
rain fores ts as the
atmosphere
is
diy and refreshing to us after the constant humidity. However,
the dust winds are a ha ard at the airports especially in Kano, Jos and iaduna.
The
new year brought a petrol and kerosene shortage. With the truckers
strik
ing the
rmy commandeered
the tankers and petrol is
now
available.
However,
the
price has increased.
Search the Gcrlptures radio
program
requires reams of mimeograph paper for
the
free
copies
of the
radio messages
that we offer
and
for the
lessons of
the
correspondence course. In
1974
paper products
doubled
in price.
The
Nigerians
are also aware of this rise in costs and we have
been
receiving offerings from
people who are grateful for the . radio messages and the correspondence course.
We thank God fo r His p eople
In February, Bon and Walter Smith
will
be
visiting and
teaching in the
Eiver Bible School in the East, Pray for
them
as they
go
Cr o s s
e
thank the Father for giving us the opportunity to live-and work in Nigeria,
flfey He bless you as He blesses
us
