Leadership in Obscurity Partner Update
Update from our LIO partner serving in Nigeria
Background about message below:
The group of LIO volunteers from Ilé-Ifẹ̀ drove many hours to serve the Osi-Sooko village & its tribal king. In order to distribute, the families came to his house to be served & overseen by the king. LION provided support for the provisions but the volunteer LIOs took care of all of the transportation & organization! This is truly the mission of LION in action: to encourage, equip, and empower God's people around the world.
We are making a difference! Thank you for your support!
Good morning!
We gave out food to 160 families
We had to make them be on a straight line beside the house of the king.
We tried observing social distancing also.
The University gave the Toyota Hillux to pack the food to the village accompanied by our personal cars. They were so thankful.
They offered prayers. A lot of prayers
The king also send their prayers and appreciations
The village happens to be in the deep interior part of the State. We learnt they suffer a lot of hunger due to the pandemic. The businesses are closed, their local products can't get to buyers. We decided to go that far instead of the nearby village we earlier planned, so we can reach these families.
We adressed them, counseled them against suicide, we preached to them also.
We are so thankful to God for you and the teams. Please let them know how grateful we are to be a small part of this outreach!!
Amen. Thank you so much. We will send pictures from Kenya also in the next one or two weeks.
