2023 July newsletter
Read about our recent transition to a new donation processor, Life Builders Academy and Hospital updates, and our major Capital Campaign: the Gboko Haram Orphan Project.
Introducing MyWell
After National Christian Foundation (NCF) contacted us last month stating they are terminating the branch of their ministry that processes single or cycled donations, we were set with the task of connecting with a new ministry. We are happy to share that MyWell Ministries reciprocates our values of outreach and supporting those in need, and are proud to partner with them moving forward.
All orphan donors have now been contacted with steps on how to set up their new account with MyWell, but please reach out to jessicalifebuildersministries@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.
Gboko Haram Orphan Project Capital Campaign
Life Builders is excited to share that we will be hosting another annual matching campaign thanks to a generous donor. This September, we will be matching up to $50,000 to aid our newest project and capital campaign, the Gboko Haram Orphan Project. After the terrorist attacks in Nigeria, there are 100 orphans being kept in a camp without enough food, water or shelter--our ministry feels called to rescue them and provide education, food, shelter, and health services to these suffering children. Some of them have been absent from school for more than five years. They are being taught the practices of Islam at this camp and are often enlisted as child soldiers by the Gboko Haram terrorists. These kids' parents, some of whom were pastors, were beheaded and killed by these terrorists, and they desperately need your love, support and guidance of our ministry.
Please consider donating to this project today, and stay tuned for our matching campaign this fall.
Life Builders Academy
We give thanks to God for bringing the school year to a close. Our schoolchildren will be out of the classroom for approximately eight weeks during the extended break and our teachers will also have some downtime to plan for next year's curriculum. Despite occasional difficulties, it has been a tremendous year of advancement at Life Builders Academy. Please pray for the children's security while they are away from school and for the increase in our enrollment in the coming year.
Life Builders Hospital
Our wonderful Medical Director, Dr. Akinola Busuyi, recently relocated back to Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria in order to finish his PhD in human anatomy that he began several years ago. We are excited to welcome Dr. Ayo A. Bisuga to our team as the new Medical Director for Life Builders Hospital and the Alakuko Clinic. Before Dr. Akinola left at the beginning of this month, our new Medical Director collaborated closely with him for a week. Being an experienced medical professional, he has vowed to advance our hospital mission to new heights. We are also grateful for the additional efforts of Pastor Reuben Olowojoba and his wife, Mercy Abimbola, who have accomplished a lot in the past month to create a seamless transition at the hospital, serving as the hospital's administrator and human resources manager.
