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.

NB:

They also covet prayers and financial support for needs such as foodstuff, mattresses, text books, etc.

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. 

Another Opportunity for Investment that has Eternal Value

Season greetings and thanks for standing by us throughout this year. 

One of our multidimensional mission work among the Unreached People is our care for 17 selected orphans and vulnerable kids from mostly chronic Unreached people background.

Part of your support in the past have gone towards funding these kids and we are eternally grateful to you. One of them graduated this year and four are due to register for WAEC/NECO and JAMB exam. The school fees and WAEC & NECO exam (Excluding JAMB) is N52,000 for each person. 

The pressure is heavy on the ministry especially that we are really struggling to meet up with the need for upkeep allowance of our missionaries labouring in jungles where they cannot raise personal support and foodstuff for the kids. 

We have prayed about this need but also want to share it with you. We know you have done so much in the past but because of the urgency of the exam fees in particular, we are compelled to make this special appeal to you. 

We will be glad if you can be of help as God blesses you. Thank you in advance for helping to put smiles on the faces of the special kids. We consider it as another opportunity for investment that has eternal value. Please, help strengthen our hands in this capital-intensive dimension of ministry.

Another Story of Hope for the Hopeless

Ayuba Ajikovi, standing behind the Kamberi girls

Ayuba Ajikovi was a very young boy when he ran into the Grace Foundation Inland Missions (GFIM) missionaries labouring in the Kamberi jungle in former Kwara State of Nigeria now carved into the present day Niger State in a village not too far from Benin Republic. The gospel was presented to him in its simplest form and he quickly invited Christ into his life. His life changed completely and he turned his back against every bad thing he used to do. He began to attend discipleship class and learn how to read and write.

His family, especially his elder brother who stood as his father was enraged. He could not understand why Ayuba could turn his back against the gods of his ancestors. He was persecuted very badly and driven away from their family house.  The missionaries took him in. For them it was opportunity to thoroughly impact his life with the knowledge of Jesus.

He was enrolled in the GFIM primary school on the Kamberi field, in two years, he completed his primary school. Moved into the headquarers on GFIM and enrolled in High School. He came out with flying colours and was admitted to University of Jos to pursue a degree in Economics. Today, Ayuba has not only graduated from the Unversity but he love the Lord and he is making tremendous input in the preaching of the gospel.

This story can not be completed without the mention of those who partnered with GFIM to pray and provide financial resources for him to go through his studies. Ayuba is grateful and recognised that without you, he would have wasted away in Kamberi land, one of the darkest places of the earth when GFIM first penetrated the land in 1989. We join him to pray that God richly bless all of you.
