Camera "seeds" bring Harvest of land!

I would like to share a testimony of how God can supernaturally multiply seeds that are sown.  I am currently on the mission field in rural Illinois with a wonderful Pastor from Nigeria names Sam Ohah.  We have been doing some street ministry as well as door to door evangelism. He is a a real soldier as he is in his fifties and has been weathering the heat better than I have.  Anyway, he works in the norther part of Nigeria which is dominated in population by Muslims.  His church runs a school which allows poor children (many of the Muslim) to attend school for free.  The school is private and of course they learn about Jesus and have times of prayer etc.  Anyway, his church had been looking for land and had placed in their hearts a choice piece of property in their area but it was owned by a Muslim family.  The leadership of the church one more than one occasion had approached the Muslim family about purchasing the land.  Each time they abused the Christians and sent them away.

Pastor Sam's land has been used for the Harvest of Souls!
Jesus said, the fields are ripe for the harvest!

Pastor Sam went away to another part of Nigeria to be part of a 4 day conference.  At this time The Spirit of the LORD put on his heart to give away his very nice video camera that his church had been using. He had carried it to the conference in order to record his preaching there.  After some inner struggle, he gave the camera to the Church.

The very next morning he received a call from his wife saying that a man had came to her saying that he was interested in selling the property and quickly.  Sam called the man and arranged to meet him soon after his return to his home city.  The young man had inherited the property and actually had an offer from a rich Nigerian navy official.  This navy official had made an offer on the property but wanted the young man to travel to another city to do the paperwork with his lawyer.  The young Muslim who was prideful became angry and told the man that he would not sell his property to him because he said that the lawyer should come to him.

Sam and his church ended up purchasing the property from the young Muslim man for about half of the navy official's offer.

Just today, 08/03/2011,  another missionary named Don Phinney gave Sam a digital camera with some accessories saying that the Lord had spoken to him to give Sam the camera.  At this time, he had not heard this testimony.  God has a sense of humor!  Brother Don runs a drug/alcohol recovery and discipleship program in Washington state and currently has his property on the market because the county is giving him some problems about his ministry's use of the land.  He has actually closed down the ministry until he can sell the property and acquire more property in a better location with less government influence.  We are believing that God will multiply his camera seed and give him an above market price sale on his existing property and will provide him a great new piece of land for the ministry!

Please pray for the sale of the property and the purchase of new land.
