Week 47 part 2 - Free Weekend Program for Street & Vulnerable Children

Building A Future Through Faith and Hard Work

“Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.” Ephesians 4:28

Previously, I wrote about Deborah and Loveth, how they help their mom eke out a living through hard work. Last Saturday, Deborah was unable to come to class, she couldn’t sell off the vegetables in time but she made it on Sunday. Even though we don’t serve breakfast on Sundays or show any movie, she was happy to learn the gospel; same for the few that faithfully attends on Sundays.

I noticed that these girls are not alone in their hard work and dedication , some of the boys are also actively engaged; They found old, worn-out mosquito nets, tied them together, and went to a nearby river early in the morning to catch fish, sold it off and put some money in their pocket.

I saw a bundle of nets tied up, money in the pocket and as usual, I questioned. Most likely, i will visit the riverbank and observe as they fish up close.

It is truly encouraging to see that instead of restoring to stealing, to part-time/full-time prostitution, which is so enthrenched that “clever” girls now have 3-4 different phone numbers to veil the sinister act from prospective suitors.

Also, they are not hanging around every street corner begging, veiling laziness with bogus religion, blaming poverty, lack of opportunity and economic hardship, which is prevalent in Nigeria, these kids are working hard to earn a living, which is a crucial part of our comprehensive mission program. https://sga-foundation.org/our-vision

Am blessed and truly honored to have them. Please pray with me that Christ be formed in their hearts and that He may dwell in their hearts by faith .
