Yabatech UBF
February 6, 2014

On January 18, Yabatech UBF chapter in Nigeria had a beautiful wedding ceremony between sister Toby and Sh. Samuel. M. Andrew Yoon officiated over the wedding and served the wedding address based on (A Parable of a Kernel of Wheat).

Sh. Samuel is a sheep of Sh. Duke and is working as an engineer for generator maintenance. He graduated from a 6-year course in four years, but he could not continue with further studies and was wandering due to his poor family situation. After he got admission to Yabatech, however, he accepted Jesus through 1:1 Bible study and became a shepherd. He has a strong passion and leads our worship service and praise with enthusiasm. Furthermore, he raised a leader, Samuel 2.

Sister Toby also has a broken shepherd heart and such an intense consciousness (sense of problem) that she received multiple awards as a leader in the movement of fighting against AIDS and single moms. She invited sisters Mercy and Bisolar. Currently, she teaches art in an elementary school.

They married by faith even though they knew each other's weaknesses so well. The Lord was pleased with their faith and provided them all necessary things and poured out His grace on them during the wedding ceremony.

I pray that they may co-work well with Sh. Duke and serve the ministry of raising native leaders wholeheartedly .
