From a Nigerian Orphan: You showed me "a clear equality in the body of Christ."

Thank you for helping Nigerian orphans!

We recently shared Nankpak’s story with you, and as a result many of you chose to join us in supporting Nigerian orphans. After Nankpak lost his father, mother and two younger siblings, he felt incredibly alone. But Scripture reminds us that we are never alone. After VOM helped Nankpak relocate to a safe Christian environment, he began to mature in his faith and eventually was able to forgive the Islamic extremists who murdered his family.

Hundreds of children like Nankpak have been orphaned when their parents were martyred for their faith, and we continue to be able to meet their needs because of your faithful giving.

After Nankpak shared his story with a VOM worker, he sent the worker a note to express his gratitude: “Thank you so much for the encouraging words and for always remembering me in your prayers. It was such a high level of kindness. I felt loved and cared for. It actually showed me a clear equality in the body of Christ. Despite the distance and difference in skin color, we are bound by LOVE. I sincerely hope and wish you visit again soon.”


We are grateful that you are part of our ministry team. Your gifts have helped VOM provide practical and spiritual support to orphans throughout northern Nigeria. Nankpak concluded his note with this inspirational message: “Though faced with challenges, God is faithful. He has proved his words in Romans 8:28. God has empowered us and given us strength to conquer the challenges of life. It is a great opportunity knowing you and the good work you are doing. God will surely see to it that your effort is rewarded.”
