Our people are hungry

We are in a brand-new year, 2022. A new year is a promise of new beginnings, a time to reboot and refocus. While we all look forward to new frontiers to cross, I bring you updates from our December outreach.

On December 15, 2021, “Team Uche” was at New Kuchingoro IDP camp in Abuja to serve our folks there with food and water. It was a tumultuous event as the cry of hunger and poverty rang through the camp. Yes! There is hunger in the land. The gap between the poor and the rich could not be more obvious. The plea in the voices of the children continue to haunt us, even weeks after. They want to be fed. They fought to get more food. The stampede was uncontrollable. However, the gratitude from the community was gratifying. We appreciate the leaders and teachers at the camp.  We pray that your deliverance will come sooner than later.

Indeed, there are no rich people in Nigeria. How could anyone be rich in a country where millions of children wake up and sleep in hunger, and families live in abject poverty with no where to call for help. Indeed, there is not a wealthy man in a community where illness, lack and deprivation are yet to be addressed. If there are any leaders, then they must never know rest, as long as these ills persist. Until the internally displaced people are relocated and equipped to function like citizens and not refugees, Nigeria is a nation at war against herself.

Thanks to all those who are joining to answer the call to serve. Thank you, Uchenna and your team. Who else wants to go?  If you are moved to help, please, reach out to us and be a vessel of honor. Respond on this blog and we will contact you.

Our watchword remains, “I was hungry and you gave me meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink: I was a stranger, and you took me in:” Matthew 25:35.

Happy and blessed New Year to you All!
