2023 February newsletter

Read about our upcoming mission trip in June, the Founders' upcoming fundraising trip in May, and our new ambulance for the Alakuko Clinic and Life Builders Hospital.

Life Builders Hospital

We're pleased to inform you that we've purchased an ambulance to service the two hospitals. This is a moderately used Toyota Bus that has been expertly restored and outfitted with all of the necessary equipment for a normal ambulance service. We are still in need of a patient monitor and a sanction machine. If you would like to make a tax deductible contribution toward our hospital fund, please click the button below.

In addition to the birth of new life in the Igbusi and Alakuko clinics, souls are also being brought into the heavenly realm. We still reach out to non-Christians all around the nation through our medical services in both our hospital and clinic.

Life Builders Academy

Our Life Builders Academy students are working hard during this new semester. The senior secondary students' WASCE (The West Africa School Certificate Examination) final exam is coming up in just a few months. We are appreciative of our donors who gifted our organization with funds allocated to assist with the boarding students' meals this coming month. The price of food has increased significantly over the past year by roughly 300% as a result of severe inflation in our nation. The majority of our boarding students are orphans who are impoverished, so we value the efforts of our staff, who put forth a lot of effort to limit what is available and ensure that no student goes hungry.

Orphan Success Story—Damilare Abiodun

Last month, we shared the success of one of our recent graduates, Damilare Abiodun. Thanks to Mark and Michelle Albrecht's support for almost a decade, Damilare finished high school and pursued a degree in urban and regional planning. His new wife works as a registered nurse in the United Kingdom. Damilare intends to move to the UK with his bride, where they would start their married life and live and work as Life Builders ambassadors. Please remember them in your prayers as they start a new chapter of their lives together.

A Note From Pastor Emmanuel

It's hard to believe that January is over and February has already begun. Our lives as builders have been busy in January. Early in the month, we suffered some significant losses, which caused a great deal of pain among our members. However, we are grateful to God for His grace, which upholds us despite these difficulties. We won't turn around; we're moving forward. We are close to winning, and Jesus is pointing the way. Halalujah!

In May 2023, Dr. Emmanuel and Blessing Oluwayemi will travel to the US for a three-week fundraising trip. During their time in the Chicagoland region, they will be visiting with local churches, partners and friends.

Please let us know if you are willing to welcome Emmanuel and Blessing to share the vision and success story with your church or small group or if you are available for a dinner or breakfast meeting with them during your visit. Please reach out at info@lifebuildersministriesinternational.org with any inquiries.
