Miles In Missions

If you haven’t heard already, Louisville Kentucky will be our new home. I am excited to announce that I will be assuming the position of the Executive Director at C.A.R.E. Africa, Inc. I will continue to work in an administrative role in donor relations, child sponsorship, and marketing. As Executive Director, I will now also coordinate with the board of directors and those on the ground in Egbe to facilitate growth of the C.A.R.E. Africa ministry.  I will also travel back and forth from the U.S. and Nigeria several times a year to continue to oversee operations.

C.A.R.E. Africa, Inc. has been a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) since July 2017. God has grown the ministry PHYSICALLY with more children, staff and programs in Egbe; SPIRITUALLY with lessons learned through fellowship and studying His word; and EMOTIONALLY as we have dealt with COVID and the effects on our children and caregivers.

• We currently have 73 children being taken care of by 60 caregivers in the town of Egbe.
• Our school (Foundations Academy Egbe) is in its 3rd year and currently enrolls children from nursery to 7th grade.
• Secondary School (Middle/High School) is under construction.
• Two C.A.R.E. Africa children are in university and two are waiting on admission.
• Vocational school under construction with plans for providing classes in baking, sewing, hairdressing, barbering and shoe repair.
• Weekly AWANA (Approved Workers are not Ashamed) and High School Discipleship.
• Monthly community service programs where our kids are able to give back to the community.
• Our transition home is being remodeled and currently houses five C.A.R.E. Africa children
• Monthly sports outreach in Egbe and surrounding towns has been successful in leading others to Christ.
• Seamstress program with six women sewing for our Etsy store at www.CareAfricaStore.com

Our family is excited to have finally planted our feet somewhere. As of January 4th we officially became home owners and are excited to see what this next chapter of our lives will hold for our family and C.A.R.E. Africa. Lenny has started a remodeling company call GR8 Home Improvements. You can visit him at http://www.GR8hi.com.  Cason is planning on heading to EKU this fall and Jolie is praying she gets to go to school in person at Dupont Manual High school someday soon. Titi has only 3 semesters left at Lancaster Bible College. Our Nigeria Golden Retriever, Tuck, is doing great and loving all the cats and squirrels everywhere. We added a little one to our family and his name is “Biggie” and he is such a funny little puppy.

Thank you to everyone that has supported our family over the past 8 years through prayer and or finances.

Thank you to everyone that is continuing to support our ministry directly through C.A.R.E. Africa.  We feel like God is up to something big and we cannot do it without the support of loyal donors.
