Back to School Season for HOG kids

 N7500 ( $50)  may not mean much to many families especially these days when the value of our currency is dropping very fast. It however can determine the future of one vulnerable kid. September is resumption date for most kids and calls for  back-to-school shopping since it is the beginning of a new session. But for orphans around the world, no school supplies means no school. Uneducated kids are more likely to be victimized and struggle to develop communication skills. 

N7500 ($50) can change that.  It can provide them school bag, textbooks and other basic items. At the Home of Grace (HOG), we have prayerfully picked some orphans and vulnerable kids from Unreached People Groups background to change their lives wholistically. We made the decision because you are there to partner with us. If you want to extend your love to any of the children, please get back to us. If you wnt to go beyond and even pay the school fees of any of the children, it will be great and you will never go unrewarded! For response, contact +2348173322222.

If these kids were yours, you will give them the best...

Many kids are right there on the mission fields waiting for those who care to love them. Will you...?

Elsie Govender Spends Time With the Kids

Ayuba Posted to Gombe, Nigeria

Ayuba Ajikovi

Ayuba Ajikovi, the first graduate from the Home of Grace(HOG), formerly known as Unreached Children home (UCH) has been posted to Gombe state, North East of Nigeria for his National Youth Service Corps(NYSC) service year. He will resume next week.

Join us in giving thanks to God for that concrete progress. Also, we covet your prayers for him for safety as the state is known to be porous for Boko haram activities and for God to use him to impact lives for His Kingdom.

Helping us Cope With the Challenges of Growth at HOG

Racheal Yakubu

When in 1993 we started the Unreached Children Home (UCH) which we now call Home of Grace (HOG), all the kids were really small and all we needed to keep them going were clothing, food and textbooks. Our missionaries sacrificed their little income to meet these basic needs and they did it joyfully. As the kids increased in number, we got partners involved who adopted the kids, pray for them, send monthly support of between N3000 to N3500 to them and some pays the school fees of their adopted kids and provide Christmas gift.

Over the years, some of these kids have really grown. To the glory of God, one of them is now a graduate in Economics and is warming up for his National Youth Service Corps. This coming session alone, four of them sat for the Joint Admission Matriculation Board examination (JAMB) examination.  The results of some

 were withheld. The performances of others were not too impressive. They wept profusely and we have all battled together with the emotional pain of the JAMB disappointment. After much prayer on the way forward, they are all being offered opportunities to pursue the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) IJMB program (equivalence of Advanced level). We are excited about the offer and will not want them to stay longer at home. God’s wiling, if they perform very well. They will be offered direct entry admission next academic session.

The challenge now is coping with the finance needed to move these four young adult forward in life. It is not a fun. Tuition fees for each person will gulp N30,000 ($192). They will need additional fund for feeding, books, hostel, etc. At the end of the day, each of these kids may have gulp N200,000 for one full session. Is it worth it? I think it is! How can you help? PRAY! No soldier goes to the battle front at his expense. Join us to confront this challenge of growth on your kneel for resources to come in as soon as possible.

Kamberi Missions Field Kids' Building Collapsed

Sad news?  Not really! The building housing several kids at the Kamberi mission field collapsed last night. It would have being another horror but for divine intervention. The building collapsed in the middle on the night following terrific storm on the kids. The missionary on the field, Sunday Musa  who sent in the report was also lying down beside the collapsed building when the incidence took place.

The good news is that none of the kids sustained even the slightest injury. How did that happen? It was

angelic intervention and it’s beyond description. To God be the glory! Thank you for your consistent prayers for us! They really help.

The two bedroom flat we are putting up at the field will readily help if God provide the N220,000 to roof the place and also fund to fix the windows and doors as well as plaster and floor it. In the interim, the kids may have to move into the church pending a miracle. Pray that God will turn away the mosquitoes from their direction until He provides the needed miracle.

Have You Prayed for an Orphan Today?

There are orphans and yet there are orphans.

At the Home of Grace(HOG), orphans, vulnerable and other kids are encouraged to pray for less privileged orphans. 

Can you please join us in praying for orphans in Iraq today?


Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. (James 1:27)

Pure Religion ~ Helping Orphans & Vulnerable Kids

God's Word declares, "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world" (James 1:27). And Jesus Himself promises, "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" (Matthew 25:40).

As a partner of this ministry, you are making a difference every day of the year in the lives of hurting people. When you give to this ministry, we see that your gift goes to our children's homes, church plantings, feeding programs, training facilities, and spreading the Gospel to the world.

We are earnestly grateful to God for those who send in support periodically and those were adopting one child or the other before now but for some reasons are no longer able to continue. We are particularly grateful to RoseMary Aremu, Abigail Yero, Florence Okojie, Deji Adesanya & others who may not want their name in print.
