The Living Again

Living Again is the counselling and encouragement arm to single mums and mothers of delinquent children as well as women in difficult relationships.We are currently dealing with a lady by name Blessing, mother of six and an elementary school teacher who is in a situation of a difficult and abusive relationship. She’s been sick for months and since December 2020 she’s been hospitalised in 4 different hospitals. There have been different terrible diagnoses made on her and her fortune spent for treatment without getting cured. We met her in the 4th hospital where she now lays but she was no longer being treated because she couldn’t afford medicines. At this hospital she was diagnosed with kidney stones. Then again of recent, doctors are querying cancer and needed surgery. Bege for Gobe was able to help raise little money to get the drugs she needed. Blessing’s sickness is emanating from the heart that is sick and in a state of hopelessness. She lays down looking into the ceiling, into space and very distant, her eyes showing lack of hope for life. 

Her story:

She and her family escaped death very narrowly by Islamic militants in an area of town they lived. Having escaped, her husband thinking to secure his family’s safety decided to convert to Islam and to take them all into islam. But Blessing refused to convert and the children too. That’s when her nightmares began. She became her husband’s object of hatred and abuse. He eventually abandoned her and the children and it has not been easy for them .Her heart has become hopeless and is sinking into depression. The scripture is so true when it says “ A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.”

 Proverbs 17:22 N KJV 

But at Bege for Gobe we are standing in the gap praying for her and enjoin you to also join us to pray and as the Lord leads you to help out anyway you can

A PEEK INTO 2024

  The year 2023 ended so fast and seems to be moving faster in the new year 2024. Bege for Gobe has nevertheless hit the ground running as the Spirit of the Lord is directing. The regular activities have continued with prayers, Bible studies in different centres.   In between we have had to divert attention to new IDP camps as a result of recent attacks and killings in Plateau. We hope to report all that in our next news report.      THANKSGIVING  1. Thank God for protection and care over us in all our many travels. Thank God for making provisions for us financially and in kind. Thank God for changes in definite ways  we see in the lives of widows and in the orphans in the Home.

Welcoming new orphans from Chikun LGA, Kaduna State, to Kauna Home

  At Kauna Home, the compassionate care and nurturing environment provided to orphans and children affected by ethnic killings exemplify the profound kindness and love extended to these vulnerable individuals. Within the Home, children are not only provided with basic needs but also receive emotional support and guidance to navigate through their grief and trauma. Despite the tragic circumstances surrounding their arrival, the children at Kauna Home are thriving. They are receiving excellent care, evident in their progress in school and overall well-being. With the support of caregivers and the camaraderie of their peers, new arrivals swiftly acclimate to their new environment, aided by the warmth and encouragement of older children. However, the pain of losing parents is still palpable for some of the children, and signs of grief are occasionally observed. Yet, amidst their sorrow, there is solace found in the comforting presence of the Lord, providing a source of strength and res...
