Full Description:
Who and where we serve…
We currently serve 30+ children in local orphanages and people in the Kisayhip Village in Jos, Nigeria. The village is 30 minutes from the ministry base in Jos. The village is in a rural area with no running water or electricity. All of their homes and facilities are primitively made from clay bricks. Most of the land that surrounds the village is used for farming and raising animals.
The OLA orphanage has children of all ages from infant to teens. All of these children are brought to the orphanage with their own story of neglect, abuse, abandonment, economic hardship within their family, or death of loved ones. You can often see a new face that is still unsure of his or her new surroundings.
Our desire is to love these children as Christ has called us to and to give them hope for their future. When you visit Nigeria you will see firsthand how these children are taken care of and the battles they face daily.
How we serve…
Each mission week is action packed with lots of work projects and great interaction and relationship building time with the children and families we serve. The work projects are designed to improve the facilities, programs, and living conditions for the Kisayhip village and the orphanages. We are committed to bringing H.O.P.E. to the communities we serve by providing:
Healthcare
Opportunities for spiritual growth
Provision of basic needs
Educational opportunities
Each group has its own unique gifts and areas of expertise and we will be able to use those in specific ways to live out our mission in the village or in the orphanages.
Our facility…
After your arrival to Abuja, you will be taken by van or bus to a B2B approved guest house in the city. Group members will share dorm style rooms. The following morning you will head to our Jos, Nigeria facility. Our current facility is on approximately one acre of gated land. We have four rooms and three full baths that are divided males and females. There is a community room for debriefings and group time. Most meals will be cooked onsite in our kitchen. There is running water for bathing and electricity (220V) in our facility. Clean drinking water will be provided at all times.
