Mosquito nets

Many have been asking how much it would cost to buy a mosquito net for one of our Children at Safe Harbor Baptist Children's home and orphanage. I inquired from the Orphanage on the cost of buying them in Nigeria and also the condition of the screen on the four house for the children. A net cost $10 for one child and the condition of the screen on the houses is rotten and needs to be replaced. the cost for the 4 houses would be $250.00. With the rainy season upon us and two o...f our children have already had Malaria this year we need to take this protection to help keep Mosquito's out of the house. Malaria is still the number 1 killer of children in Nigeria and for those who survive it leaves them weak for months. Please pray and help us get the Nets and the houses screened. You can send the funds to Safe Harbor Baptist Ministries Inc. P.O. Box 1610, Ringgold, GA 30736. Designate the funds Nets

Received word yesterday that two of the boys at Safe Harbor Baptist Children's Home and Orphanage in Nigeria have Malaria and are very sick. Please pray for them. Also this is the beginning of the rainy season and there is an abundance of Mosquito's this year and the Malaria ameba is carried by the Mosquito's. Pray for nets for all the children's beds. I am waiting for a price on purchasing them in Nigeria

Safe Harbor Nursery and Primary Village School end of year party and Graduation.

 

 

Praise the Lord this year 5 students were promoted from Primary School to Secondary School level I. All five have accepted Christ as their Savior and we pray the parent will be able to send them to a Secondary school in a nearby town. Our school building is finished with just a few minor things to finish. We need to put up Iron Poles on the Veranda and pay the mason. We need $800 to complete this project. We are praying that during the six week break that we can raise funds for new uniforms and school supplies for the next school year. Pray with us I will be posting more about this in the coming weeks.

 

 

 

 

Paul Nenge (Eye)

Dear Friends,
Paul woke up Tuesday morning with his eye swollen shut. He was taken to the hospital for treatment and it was determined that he had been stung or bitten by an insect. He was treated and is doing better. Continue to pray for his healing. Also pray for sponsors for Paul's monthly needs. Any amount sponsored helps feed, clothe, educated, medical needs, and housing for Paul. Paul parents were killed by Muslim extremist in the northern part of Nigeria.

The school and church had to move into the unfinished school building. the area school inspector came and gave us just a short time to finish the building or we would have to close the school. God has blessed and we have poured the concrete floors, made the doors and windows, and built 40 school desk. We need to plaster the inside and outside to finish the building.

THE ORPHANS SHADOW

THE ORPHANS SHADOW

"My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am whithered like grass." Ps. 102:11

Hello, I am a shadow of an Orphan in Nigeria, Thank you for taking a few minutes to read my story. You can see my shadow but what does my shadow tell you about me. First, it shows you that I exist. My shadow also shows you that I am just on of the 9 million other orphans in Nigeria. There are many things about me that my shadow does not tell you. It does not tell you my age or gender. Open the eyes of your heart and here is what you might see. You might see me living under a bridge, in a gutter, on the side of the road, or any place I can find shelter and safety from those who might abuse me.

If you could really see me through the eyes of your heart here is what you might see. You might see me in a garbage pile or begging on the street or stealing just to get something to eat, or trying to find a cool cup of water from a dry muddy creek or a gutter in the street.

If you could see me through the eyes of your heart, here is what you might see. You might see me taken and put into child trafficking used to make money for others, I am just an object to them. I am made to do this over and over I feel so hopeless. Where I end up I do not know.

If you could see me through the eyes of your heart here is what you might see. You might see me as one of the more than 20 babies abandoned at birth, left in a garbage pile, on the steps of a church, in a gutter, or a door at a clinic. If there is no one to take me where do I go? Is there anybody that will love me and take me in, I am a child and is there anywhere, anywhere to go?

If you could see me through the eyes of your heart, here is what you might see. You might see that in my heart I feel unloved, abandoned, homeless, helpless and hopeless, does anyone care for my Soul?

This is what you might see through the eyes of your heart! But, you might also see that in my heart I long for someone to care for me, to take me and love me, shelter me, feed me, clothe me, educate me.

WHERE IS HOPE?

There is HOPE AT SAFE HARBOR BAPTIST CHILDREN'S HOME AND ORPHANAGE in Ogbomosho Oyo State, Nigeria

We need your help to rescue these orphans ONE AT A TIME. We will provide them with love, shelter, food, clothing, and a Christian Education. Most of all we will bring them up in the admonition of the Lord.

We need people who are really looking into their hearts and praying in Faith and asking God what can I do to help these helpless children. Unless we have the funds we cannot take in any more children. Unless we have the funds we cannot take care of the ones we already have. God is so GOOD to all of us. Let us all think what if this was my child? Help Jim and Jan provide for these children. for only $30 a month you can help provide all the basic needs for these children and help us take in more Orphans that are lost and alone. Also we need your prayers, we still need to meet the need of the rent of the house we rented for the Orphanage until we get the permanent homes built. We know this New Year is going to be Special for Safe Harbor Baptist Children's Home. Please pray and be a part of this ministry. God bless you in what the Lord

will have you to do for these children.

TWO CHILDREN RESCUED BY SAFE HARBOR BAPTIST CHILDREN'S HOME AND ORPHANAGE.

Esther- Lynn was abandoned on the door steps of a church in Ogbomoso in a plastic sack she was brought to a local hospital at the point of death. Safe Harbor Baptist Children's Home was called and we took the baby in and my wife named her Esther-Lynn. Lynn is my Jan's middle name. Esther-Lynn was later adopted by a Nigerian couple living here in the U.S. Esther-Lynn is doing great with her new parents.

Isaiah's birth mother was just 14 years old when she was raped by an older man. Helpless and no family to help she was about to have an abortion. But, God reached down and saved her at Faith Baptist Church. She then could not abort her unborn baby nor could she take care of a new born baby when it was born.  She was counseled by Pastor Ojo on what could be done. She wanted Safe Harbor Baptist children's Home to her baby when it was born. He was named Isaiah and lives with one of our House Parent ( Timothy and Ronke Ojo. Isaiah is now almost three year old and is a very happy and love child.
