Three of my students this year were in last years Romans class. One of the three is Micah. In class yesterday we were chatting and he said, “I just phoned my wife and we were talking about the suit you gave me last year. We are so thankful.”
He continued, “If I had known you were the teacher I would have brought it with me from my village to show you and to wear it for my picture. It is my one dress outfit. I wear it for worship. Thank you. Thank you so much.”
It was clear from his face and the brightness of his eyes and the smile as he spoke that his thank you came straight from the heart… His thank you blessed my heart and all I was, was the deliverer.
Last year in preparing for our trip a friend dropped off a few suits her son wanted to donate to any Nigerians in need. I took them to the seminary and my students gobbled them up (in one case one person took the pants and another student the jacket of the same suit!). Micah got a full suit almost the perfect size for him… it is that suit that Micah was soooo thankful for!
The Nigerian friends I have made are truly thankful people…
