Temitope Community, Nigeria
When seven-year-old Amos’s* grandmother, out of desperation, asked the Temitope Care Workers if her grandchildren could come to the Care Point, they started to learn more about this very vulnerable family.
Four years ago, both of Amos’s parents passed away, leaving Amos and his sister Wendy* under the care of their grandparents. Though their grandmother longs to do right by her grandchildren, her business of selling soft drinks is struggling, leaving the family with little means of provision. At one time, Amos and Wendy were attending school, but due to a lack of school fees they were forced to leave.
While Amos and Wendy have only been coming to the Temitope Care Point since the beginning of 2021, the Care Workers can already testify to the difference that they see in these two children, who have started to make friends and are growing in their confidence. The Care Point is a safe place where Amos and Wendy can simply be children and experience Christ-like love from the Care Workers.
Today we invite you to pray for children across Africa, like Amos, who are in desperate need of Christ’s hope and transformational love.
