NIGERIA
Missionaries who endure hardships to serve the Lord
often find it difficult to provide adequate daily
care and education for their children. This is especially
true for national missionaries with meager financial
resources.
Many Nigerian missionaries serving with the SIM-related
Evangelical Missionary Society (EMS) face this dilemma
as they dedicate their lives to reaching their own
people. But now, thanks to the generosity of SIM
friends like you, these missionaries' children are
receiving excellent care at special homes throughout
the country. |

Answer to Prayer
These facilities are known as hostels-but the Nigerian
missionaries who had no other means to provide for their
children call them an answer to prayer!
Your support of this important project is helping fill a huge need. In some cases, these missionaries serve in very remote areas of Nigeria where schools simply do not exist. But generous gifts from SIM donors have enabled us to make significant progress on this crucial project, including work at these locations:
 |
JOS, where more than 100 EMS missionary
children are being educated. SIM helped complete
the new hostel and provided beds and other furniture.
Your support also helped make possible a much needed
project to give the children better water and provide
a library, computer lab, and desks for the classrooms. |
|
KANO MISSION, which houses approximately 15 EMS
students and nearly 100 other children of either
pastors or ECWA (Evangelical Churches of West Africa)
missionaries. We are also building a new hostel
to accommodate many more EMS missionary children. |
|
MATAZU CENTER, where we have built a 100-occupant
hostel for EMS children. This facility will care
for children through their primary school years. |
Medical Care
One of the exciting aspects of this ministry we are involved in with you is the provision of medical care for the children. This is indispensable to their present and future health and gives their parents wonderful peace of mind.
And because you care, a disabled boy named Abner may soon walk! Abner was admitted to an orthopedic hospital in Kano, where he is undergoing treatment that doctors believe will allow him to walk with crutches or a cane. Abner is very excited, and the doctors are pleased with his progress.
There are many goals yet in the future for our EMS hostel
project, including the need for new hostels in Sokoto
and Gombe, Nigeria. We pray that you will continue your
helpful support of this work! Project
