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.

Chairman's Report for May 19, 2023

/
Communist governments are still persecuting Christians / Biden Administration praises oppressive communist government / Jihad in Nigeria since 1804 – Most of the land now controlled by Muslims / Orphanage improvements / The secrets of helping Muslims who come to Jesus

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.

Chairman's Report for April 14, 2023

/
Home found for seven aged-out orphans, but there will be eleven more soon! / Boys’ building at orphanage has hot water for showers! / Return of the farm? / Nigerian children from a “Muslim background” / Entire families in Iraq! / Final update on the 2023 supporter poll: Yes for Nigeria, maybe for Capitol Hill

"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.

Chairman's Report for March 24, 2023

/
The situation for Christians in Bethlehem and the West Bank worsens / Bethlehem has a great need for diapers for special needs adults / Supporter poll shows strong support for Nigerian orphanage programs / Advocating for persecuted Christians / The cost of not being woke
