Sadness

I received an e-mail yesterday from one of the team members who was part of the team that went with me to Nigeria. The e-mail informed me that one of the orphan boys at one of the centers we visited while there had died over the weekend. He was 15 and on Friday became ill and on Sunday passed away.

I cannot begin to describe how heavy my heart felt at receiving this news. This boy, in the prime of his life given a chance via Gidan Bege and suddenly dies. This is the first death that has occurred in the 10 years of these orphanages.

Please pray for the staff of Gidan Bege and the other boys in the home, I cannot imagine what they are experiencing right now.
