2023 January Newsletter

ignite-A-Smile Program 2022

Learn more about our upcoming missions trip, the Igbusi Hospital Ambulance project, and the success of the 2022 Ignite-A-Smile Program.

Our Ignite-A-Smile 2022 campaign was a big success. We appreciate all of our friends who donated toward this cause. Orphans and widows from all around the nation gathered over the course of three days to thank God for His compassion toward our ministry. Everyone returned home with generous gifts, food and clothing. It was a lovely time for families to come together to connect, pray, play, and feast.

Igbusi Hospital & Alakuko Clinic Updates

We praise God for the advancements made at Alakuko Clinic, including the opening of the brand new medical diagnostic center at the end of December. A new medical officer is being hired at the Igbusi Hospital to monitor the facility. Since the mission team will be arriving in June this year, we anticipate increased publicity and clientele for their offerings.

We are extremely grateful to Christ Church Oakbrook who graciously contributed toward our Ambulance Fund in November. This project still needs an additional $10,000 in order to purchase an ambulance to provide service for our Igbusi Hospital. We value all contributions and support and hope to dedicate a new ambulance in February of this year.

Life Builders Academy & Sponsored Orphan Program Updates

After the Christmas and new year break, classes started up again last week. We thank God for expanding the school's enrollment. Our instructors are prepared for the upcoming academic year and the school administration granted a pay raise in light of the rising cost of living caused by the country's inflation.

We are excited to share the success of recent Sponsored Orphan Program graduate Damilare Abiodun. Damilare was sponsored by Life Builders for 13 years by the Albrecht family from NorthBridge Church, who were able to visit him in 2015. Damilare attended Ladoke Akintola University, where he earned his B.Sc. in Urban and Regional Planning in 2019 and recently got married on January 7th. May God bless the marriage in every way.

A Message From The Founder

We praise God for His all-encompassing sustaining grace. We are incredibly grateful to all of our supporters and friends from the previous year. In order to better assist the underprivileged individuals that we are entrusted to help, we pray and hope for another successful year. It is a rare honor to work beside you in this Kingdom ministry as a friend and partner. This year, with your help and God's mercy, we will make great strides! The Lord is with us! Halalujah!

"God’s Mercies are new every morning. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness,” (Lamentations 3:22-23).

With love,

Pastor Emmanuel Oluwayemi

Founder & President
