Today we spent the afternoon at Gidan Bege or "House of Hope". It is a small orphanage and clinic in Jos.We spent the afternoon seeing Muslim women in a health clinic and gave vaccinations to the 17 boys who live there full time. The stories that explain why the boys are there will break your heart. Many were accused of being the reason their parents died and were thrown out of their village. Some barley got out alive.
Instead of living on the streets and being influenced in negative ways they are loved and educated in the name of Jesus. They have a school there and after their normal school education start learning trades at age 13. By the time they are 18 they are educated and have training for full time jobs.
What a great investment for eternal returns
See ya,Scott
Hey Scott and boys! the trip of a lifetime. Praying for your health and safety and blessings for your ministry there.
