Many of you have asked about the story behind the little baby girl that attended our Thanksgiving Feast last week. Read Dr Jen’s blog below to know more about this little miracle.

“Come on. Hurry up!” Keeping these thoughts to myself, I valiantly work at reigning in evidence of my impatience, but it’s a challenge! The slow in-take process seems to have stalled out and there is still a long line of nursing students waiting for health exams who stand between me and my plans for the evening. Sucking in a deep breath, I let out an extended sigh and force my mind to reconcile to the reality that it is already 5PM and there is certainly no way that I will be leaving anytime soon. Today is Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. This year it’s a lonely one. No one around me is sharing in the…

tuesthanks2Thank you Thank you Thank you to everyone that participated in our #GivingTuesday campaign. It was so awesome to see all the Nigerian flags raised on Facebook. So many of you were ambassadors for us. You exposed our ministry to many people that would never have known about us all the way over here in Nigeria.

At this point we know that our donation link was clicked 93 times and our video was viewed 52 times. In the next few days SIM will upload to our database the donations that were received and then we will know how the campaign went. Thank you again for your support!

First there was Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Now #GivingTuesday is a new and creative way to capture the attention of supporters through social media.

As many of you know, we are in the middle of a fundraising campaign to move our family to Jos, Nigeria where we will continue heavily in ministries that bring Glory to God throughout Nigeria. To do this, our “one-time” support need is a pretty large number and we are considering many ways to get the word out for this need.

Here are several ways you can help us;
1. Click Miles In Missions and make a year end donation to our ministry.
2. Pray for our fundraising campaign on this #GivingTuesday.
3. Become a social media ambassador for us. Change your profile picture to the Nigerian flag that I attached to this blog? Then copy and paste this verbiage into your Facebook post.

Today for #GivingTuesday I have decided to change my profile picture to the Nigerian flag. I’m doing this in support of my (friends, family member, etc) serving in Nigeria. Please consider donating to their ministry in Nigeria on this #GivingTuesday. Click on https://youtu.be/gDXyXzSmElo to see a video about their ministry. Click on http://bit.ly/givingtuesday100 to donate.

 

That’s all you have to do and then we can all sit back and see what God does. It really can be that simple.

God Uses Strangers

God continues to place people in my life that hear the call to help C.A.R.E. Africa. I am always amazed at the email that comes through from a stranger, that God is using to do his work. Here is the most recent one….

Hi Patrice,
My name is Whitney Nesse. My cousin, Abby Anderson, gave me your contact information. I am helping with grade school programs at my church, Riverside in Hutchinson, MN, and we are looking for people to support during this upcoming school year. I proposed my idea to Abby and she thought you might have a need where you are working.

What we would like to do this school year with our students is set up a marketplace in our church with pictures of items (school supplies, bedding, small animals, meals, Bibles, etc.) for people in need. These pictures will be available for the price that a person in need would pay in their country. The students would then purchase these pictures and that money would go directly for that item to a person in need.

I would love to have a direct contact with someone like you so we could possibly Skype and send photos and letters between our students and those in your sphere that are in need. Is this something that you would be interested in? Our classes start up on September 14th, so this doesn’t leave a lot of time, but with God, anything is possible, right!?!?!?

Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you,
Whitney

So of course I was interested!! See what they have created…..is this not the cutest thing you have ever seen? I love it when God shows off! No one can orchestrate anything like this but him. Thank you Riverside!!

Miracle in Egbe

I never would have thought over three years ago I would be sitting in a dentist chair in Egbe getting my teeth cleaned. God is good and the people of Egbe no longer have to drive 3 hours away and pay transport to get their teeth pulled. From dental clinics donating equipment, hours spent researching how to put the dental chairs and equipment together, to a dentist actually coming to Egbe to train and teach, this clinic is such a Miracle! dsc_0521dsc_0557img_4205img_4207dsc_0622dsc_0613dsc_0609dsc_0622
