Bro. Tom Melot
Flies to Nigeria |
|
(Faith & Victory : Jan.
1975) |
|
|
For some unknown reason, Bro. George Hammond was denied a tourist
visa to Nigeria, so Bro. Tom Melot, a young minister of Guthrie,
applied for and obtained a tourist visa for six weeks in that
country. The native gospel workers in Nigeria have been pleading for
someone to come from the U.S. According to plan, Bro. Melot left by
plane from Oklahoma City on January 3, 1975, for Port Harcourt,
Nigeria. In that area, Lord willing, he will labor with the native
gospel workers and believers of the twenty mission stations for
about six weeks. Pray earnestly that God will grant Bro. Melot a
profitable and safe round trip on this urgent mission to that needy
foreign field. God's work must go forward until our Lord and Master
comes again.

Bro. Tom Melot in
Nigerian Mission Work |
|
(Faith & Victory: Feb. 1975) |
|
|
Bro. Tom Melot arrived safely by plane Port Harcourt, Nigeria, W.
Africa, on Jan. 5, which was Sunday. On that day he spoke to a
congregation in that city. The same day he wrote us a letter stating
that the Lord had been abundantly helping him, and had brought many
precious Scriptures and comforting thoughts to his heart, adding: "I
know the Lord has sent me here." Then he requested prayer for
success in his contacts with the twenty mission stations in that
country. The next day he arrived at the main mission station at
Asana in the interior. The Nigerian mission letters on another page
of this issue will give a further report of his welcome arrival.
Bro. Melot's six-weeks' visa will soon expire, and he will return,
Lord willing, to Oklahoma about the middle of February. Pray that
the Lord will continue to bless his gospel work in that needy
foreign field, and return him safely to us at the appointed time.
