The brother of our principal at the orphanage school was murdered by the Sunni Muslim Fulani. We have ordered emergency aid to those made homeless who are now living in a temporary IDP camp.

Objective is an Islamic Nigeria
Nasir El-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna State from 2015 to 2023 confessed to the goal of Islamification of Nigeria in a speech to his tribe that has been posted on social media without his permission. Inside is a report on the context of the speech, which was delivered in Hausa, a tribal language of Nigeria.
The Dollar’s Decline Is Hurting Missions
The devaluation of the dollar means we must pay more for products in nations we operate in such as Jordan or Iraq. In Nigeria the cost of food has been stable, but products used in construction have increased. This means our current project of creating a school room has gotten more expensive.

Communist Vietnam No Better Than Red China
Ignoring persecution of Christians? The communists who run Vietnam are now the best buddies of our State Department. Secretary of State Blinken headed to Hanoi in April to rub shoulders with this despotic communist government. We signed onto a letter urging the Secretary to address the ongoing persecution of Christians.
Recent Attacks in Nigeria – Close to Home
Our aged-out orphans were scheduled to be transported to their new home. By the Lord’s intervention the plans were changed. Two attacks occurred in that time frame and 74 Christians were killed. Many orphans now need a home. We have plans to make advances at the orphanage.

“Aged Out” Orphans
As orphans turn 18 where do they go? That has been a compelling question, and now our prayers have been answered. We just can’t turn 18-year-olds with no real job training out onto the streets. They had no families to support them and no source of income while they were in the orphanage.
