Dear Friend’s and Family,

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Psalm 100:1-3

As Velvet has taught the boy’s science this year, this verse has truly come alive to us. The intricate detail of every living thing absolutely amazes us, as we realize how divinely precise every living thing was created. We serve an awesome God who even in the midst of uncertain times has His hand upon us, and so deeply loves and cares for us.

Our first outreach to Nigeria this year, was held in the Ohaji local government area, about one hour south of Owerri, where I.C.H. (International Christian Hospital) is located. I met up with Amy and Andy Hayton, who had flown in from California. They are currently doing an Internal Medicine and Psychiatry Residency, respectively. The three of us worked together with 3 to 4 Nigerian doctors to see up to 1000 patients per day during that week’s outreach. We also held nightly crusades, where God did amazing things. There were over 4000 in attendance during the crusade that week. Hundreds of people were saved, delivered, encouraged and healed. Students from the WAAST bible college were considerably instrumental in making this a successful outreach. The people of this village were very needy, not having a nearby pharmacy and having to travel such a great distance to get quality medical care. We plan to have a follow-up clinic/outreach in this same area when we return next month. It is rare that Velvet and our 4 boy’s are able to join in on our trips to Nigeria, but we are blessed to have the whole family join in on our trip next month. In addition, we have two ladies from Windsor Village UMC joining us, as well as one of the residents in our Family Medicine Residency. There are two anesthesiologists from Nevada joining our team, who will be assisting us in surgery. We will also continue our progress on the HIV vaccine research, which has been going very well.

Please pray for our trip to Nigeria this next month:

 Pray that God would prepare peoples heart's to be open to receive whatever God would have us minister to them.
 Pray that we would see divine miracles and God's intervention in the lives of those we are able to minister to.
 Pray that God would give clear direction in moving forward with the HIV/AIDS project we are pursuing.
 There will be nine of us traveling on the May trip to Nigeria. Pray that we all remain safe and healthy and that His protection be upon us all.
 Pray that things go well here on the home front during our absence. Pray that this trip brings all of us to closer fellowship with Christ.
 Pray that our boy's would catch the vision for missions and that their hearts would be tender to the call of God and that God would enlighten his perspective and vision for the world to them.

Our upcoming trip to Nigeria will be during the month of October. If you or any one you know of has interest in this trip, please let us know.

God has been so faithful in providing for our every need over the passed 18 years, since we began the work in Nigeria. We are so grateful to those of you who have been willing vessels and have contributed in some way to this ministry. Because of you, much has been accomplished. Great strides were made in 2006, and we plan even greater things for the future. Thank you so very much for your past and continued support.

Yours for the Kingdom,

Dr. Stuart & Velvet Quartemont
