Read about the success of our capital campaign, the Gboko Haram Orphan Project!

A Note From the Founder:

"Praise God for His supply!" We always stand by this verse, especially in September of this year. We have the utmost gratitude for how the Lord has met our needs through our partners. The first miracle was a matching grant contribution of $50,000, which we matched in full through the mercy of God. We also appreciate the generous support of our partner congregations, Christ Church Oakbrook and Christ Church Lake Forest.

Gboko Haram Orphan Capital Campaign

We are making good progress on our Boko Haram initiative as a result of the success of our matching funding campaign. Ten orphans from Boko Haram-affected communities visited our campus in Igbusi two weeks ago, and the Life Builders Family welcomed them with delight and joy. They are adjusting as they recover over the trauma they had as a result of the Islamic extremist onslaught that invaded their villages. After just one week, they have a different look and attitude as they wander around freely, attend church, and interact with other orphans on campus. They have been yearning for a life of liberty. All of our partners, who helped make this happen are appreciated. Within the next 12 months, we want to free 100 orphans from the Gboko Haram jihadists and bring them to our campus.

Life Builders Hostel

Life Builders is developing a hostel for our Gboko Haram orphans to reside at in addition to our boarding school. The foundation laying and groundbreaking for the hostel have both been completed. This project is making progress with our goal to complete this project by end of December. We pray that you will consider making a donation for the furnishings and fixtures, with a project goal of raising $25,000 by December 2023.
