Get involved!
Get YOUR church involved!
Long ago, a pastor I (Carisa) love preached a sermon called 'GET OFF THE COUCH'. It was a memorable sermon that stuck with me. The premise was that there were opportunities ALL AROUND to serve the Lord. Go get busy!
Do you LOVE being a part of our ministry in Nigeria?
Would you like to get MORE involved? Here are some ways that we might partner with you or your church!
Follow Schools For Africa AND Phyllis Sortor on Facebook! You'll see funny stories about what Phyllis is up to (like pictures of lizards on her windows!) and get all the latest updates!
Our Kidnapped Redemption film - You can watch the film for free HERE (but with commercials). Over 6,000 people have watched it on YouTube so far! You can purchase the DVD for $20, plus $5 shipping. Watch it, then share it with friends, your Sunday School class, your missions board, or your pastor! Have a film viewing party, and provide the popcorn! :) You can purchase the DVD on our website HERE!
Purchase Missionary Phyllis Sortor's books! Phyllis has written TWO great books about her ministry in Nigeria. Her first book, The Kidnapping of an American Missionary, is the story of her kidnapping in 2015. Her second book, Kidnapped Redemption, is full of the amazing things God did in Nigeria upon her courageous return to the very place she was kidnapped from. Books are $20, plus $5 shipping. Books are also availabe on our website, HERE!
Do you attend a Sunday School class? Ask if you can share about Schools For Africa! Ask if you can share the film! Perhaps your class could support a teacher or nurse monthly for $50/month!
Does your church have a missions board? Forward this email to your team, so that they can get to know SFA! No missions board? Forward this to your pastor! Give them time to check it out, then follow up! Tell them how passionate you are about this ministry!
Have a fundraiser to raise money for Schools For Africa! You could have a bake sale, a yard sale, a movie night, etc! Get your men's group, your women's group, your Bible study, or your children's ministry involved! We would LOVE to connect your children's ministry to a school in Nigeria!
Invite Schools For Africa to come to YOUR church! Missionary Phyllis or SFA Secretary Carisa would love to come visit your church! We would be happy to share about what God is doing NOW, and bring an update from Phyllis and the team in Nigeria! Perhaps we could schedule a movie night! :)

House Of Mercy Free Methodist Church FUNDED!
Remember this sweet church we have been fundraising for??? Well, the Lord provided! A donor stepped forward with the $10,000 remaining needed to build this beautiful church family a solid building!
Phyllis, Head Of Security Jacob, and Driver Sani were in Lokoja last week.
They worshipped at the House of Mercy this past Sunday, and it struck Phyllis so hard how badly they need that new building. The church was filled with people... young and old... SO on fire for the the Lord! Phyllis and this church family are SO THANKFUL for God's provision!
Phyllis has requested that the work on House of Mercy start immediately, so that when we finally get the go-ahead to work on the 99 hectares in Port Harcourt, our master mason and carpenter will be available for that.
THANK YOU, LORD!
