Hosting Home
Pastor Ani Simonson from Nigeria will be with us from Sept 30-Oct 8. He has been to our church once a year for the last 3 years. Over the last 12months, we have sent over $12,000 to his church and Bible College.
If you are interested in hosting a powerful man of God in your home, then let me know. Many can testify to the positive strength of his ministry. Hosting entails a room and meals while he is there. You can have him one night or multiple.

Also, I will add that during the day he will be with me or at the church. Of course, he enjoys American activities so if you want to invite him to an event, let me know.
PSM, I know that I am rarely on the blog, so this is not meant to condem, more so it is to encourage you.
Pastor Simonson is an amazing man, one of which who’s faith in our Lord will leave a lasting impression on you and your family, challenging you to move to the next level of your faith. I inquire of you to step forward and allow this messenger harbor in your home.
I assure you that may you live in an efficiency apartment or a luxurious home it will matter not unto him. This is an opportunity for a blessing of which I can not describe. Open your door, a Pastor is knocking.
Sign us up for the first night. I would love to make it more but we have other guest arriving. He has stayed with us twice now and each time we felt ike the Shunemite woman who made a room for the prophet. The blessings last long after he has gone home.
Like Joshua said, he doesn’t not care what size or type your home is. He will freely tell you about his home which many times doesn’t even have electricity—very unreliable system. Let him tell you about the stove his wife cooks on. It will make any stove here look like a top of the line commercial one. 🙂
Bro. Ani is very easy to have in your home, and he loves children, AND children love him. Ask Jude.
We would like to sign up. We will have to work around some things and we only have an apartment, nothing fancy…but we would like to host. Maybe on Sunday night the 5th or one evening after that.
Any special instructions?
Casey,
i will get with you and Dennis and let you know. There are no special instructions. His schedule is not set quite yet. I think he will be in Victoria, TX the 4th-6th. I will let ya’ll know asap.
Thanks!!
Casey, you and Dennis will be so blessed, and you will enjoy him so much. Good for you to opening your home. After visiting with him, you will see how any home in Texas is a blessing to him.
I wanted to post a follow-up to this email. Several families in the church were able to host Bro. Ani. We aren’t rich and we don’t even have a house – just a two bedroom apartment. But we really, really wanted to do this. So we made it work. It was so worth it!!!
Not only is Bro. Ani a great blessing he is a delightful person. We had a great time visiting with him.
I heard from Sis. Kathy that he likes biscuits. So for breakfast one morning we had biscuits, oatmeal, and fruit. He called it a feast.
We asked him to pray with us before he left. We prayed. He prayed. He spoke blessing over our home. We spoke blessings over his ministry. We feel we made a friend and sincerely hope he will want to stay with us again when he visits our region.
I am so proud of you both, Casey & Dennis! Blessings to you both for being so open to others in God’s kingdom.
