CONTAINER OF HUMANATARIAN GOOD TO SAFE HARBOR BAPTIST ORPHANAGE

Container Grant Approved.
Dear Friends of Safe Harbor we applied for a grant to get our container shipped to Nigeria. The grant has been approved and they are now taking bids with shipping companies to ship the container. They will pay for the shipping from door to door but we have to pay the customs taxes and hire a clearing agent. I estimate that we have somewhere between 6 to 8 weeks to raise the funds for the customs taxes and agent. Timothy Ojo has estimated that based upon the 40 ft container and the goods inside it will run around $30 a sq. Ft. The container has 320 sq. ft. and presently we received funds for 30 sq. ft. which is $910.00. We need donations for 290 more sq ft. to have the funds on hand when the container arrives in Nigeria. Would you pray about giving $30.00 or more to help us get the container cleared at the port. In the container we have over $250,000.00 worth of supplies. New clothes, village school furniture, beds for more oprhans, basic supplies for the orphanage, washer, dryer, etc. The clothes alone are worth $180,000.00. They will be distributed to the orphanage, village children where we minister etc. Please help with this urgent need. Please send your gift to Safe Harbor Baptist Ministries, P.O. Box 1610, Ringgold, GA. 30736. You can also donate through PayPal. Go to PayPal web site enter our PayPal account name jimjanammons@yahoo.com and you can donate using your credit card, bank card etc. It is safe to use PayPal.

 

Deep Borehole well for Safe Harbor Baptist Children's Home and Orphanage Nigeria

UPDATE: Please read the entire post, urgent prayer needed. We have on hand $1400 for the digging of the deep Borehole well to have clean drinkable water for Safe Harbor Baptist Children's Home and Orphanage. A peron had committed to giving the balance to make $2,000 to dig the well in January. I received word that they were not going to be able to fulfill their committment. Please pray that the Lord will supply the funds so we can get the well dug. It is dry season and the wa...ter level is very low and dirty If the Lord should burden your heart to help please send funds to Safe Harbor Baptist Ministries Inc. P.O. Box 1610, Ringgold, GA 30736 designate the funds Well.

URGENT PRAYER NEEDED FOR THE ORPHANAGE. I received this e-mail from Timothy Ojo last night concerning the Orphanage. Please pray about these needs, Prayer changes things, God in His word said, "Ask and ye shall receive". With 12 children, the house parents and their children it takes a lot of water. We were already buying drinking water as the well water is not safe to drink. The well water was used in washing clothes, baths etc. It has been going dry in the dry season as it is a shallow hand dug well, not the concrete rings have cracked and allowing mud in the water so it is unusable. Please I ask you again Pray and read the whole post.
Timothy wrote:
I am very glad to hear that a lot of brethren are praying for our bank account situation. We are trusting the Lord to help on this.
Meanwhile, I am praying that we will get a lot of blessings come in as we are currently having problem with water in the compound. The well is not producing enough water as it should and we are not getting enough water. Also when it rains, the whole water becomes red and very dirty as mud and dirty water is seeping into the well. I have been praying about digging a bole hole in the compound and I have discussed this with the landlord who agreed that whatever we spend on this will be deducted from our next rent. An average cost for a bole hole is about $2,000. I am trusting God to provide for this need.
Also, I am praying God to provide for the tuitions fees of the children. We have a lot of needs indeed but I believe that our God is abundantly able to provide for all these needs!
Thanks and talk with you later.

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

Food Buffet - UMMMMM so Good

I love to go to a good buffet and eat out in the US. There is Rhyan's Golden Corral, and numerous Oriental buffets. You go and eat all you can of anything on the buffet. After Church on Sunday Morning we will go and stand in line up to 45 minutes just to eat. (Wonder if we would stand in Line 45 minutes to get into church to worship- just a thought off the top of the head). On to my story, I like a special Oriental buffet on Lee Hwy in Chattanooga, TN. Steak, Oriental foods of all kinds, Fried Plantain, um, eggs rolls, etc. and to top it off, fruit bar, desert bar, and of course dip your own ice cream. Let's face it we in America love to eat out and eat all we can. I would say we are blessed in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Now I want to take you to another part of the World, the World of Orphans in Nigeria. lets visit one of their food buffets first.

Today's menu, a bowl of garri, shared in a common bowl. Now, as I see the other side of the world, I have so many questions and thoughts going through my mind. I don't like some of the questions but I should answer them. 1. I thank God that I was born in America. I hear this often, I grew up in a home that my parents considered us to be poor by American standards, yet we had good food to eat, most of the time two cars, toys to play with etc. I had no choice where I was born, but does it make me favored because of it, My answer is no, It make me responsible. Another though I have is my weight. I am 60 lbs overweight. Why should I be so big and eat so much when millions do not get a meal a day. My wife and I were called to be missionaries to West Africa and we served have served the Lord there for over 33 years. We have seen the Lord save thousands of souls and lives changed. Since 1990 the orphan population in Nigeria has gone from 2.5 million to over 10 million orphans. Our burden is to reach them one at a time. I feel that I eat too much by loving to eat, instead of eating to live. Orphans struggle day in and day out just to eat to survive and live. Surely, I can cut down my eating and give more to help them. Lord help me. I have many more thoughts on this to share in coming blog post. Let me know your thoughts . Brother Jim Ammons
