This month is exclusively focused on sharing highlights of the 29th Anniversary Celebration of Little Saints Orphanage which took place on June 4th 2023.
This edition will be a recap for anybody who was not able to attend physically to feel that they did not miss out on the Thanksgiving to God for everything He has accomplished thus far.
To all our Sponsors, Patrons and Friends we are eternally grateful to God for connecting us through this vision to safeguard and improve the lives of the children and beneficiaries of Little Saints Orphanage.
LITTLE SAINTS ORPHANAGE AT 29 YEARS OLD
Words cannot express our gratitude when we look at all God has done in the last 29 years. On the 4th of June 2023, the Founder, Trustees, Missionaries, Patrons, Sponsors, Friends and Children of Little Saints Orphanage came together to celebrate God's faithfulness over the last almost three decades. The hall was filled with the people who made the time and effort to take part in the celebration of 29th anniversary of this special ministry called Little Saints Orphanage.
TEMITAYO AND THE GRACE LIGHT BAND
As with everything we do here at Little Saints Orphanage, the day started with Praise and Worship. The Grace Light Band took us on a journey into the presence of God where we worshipped in awe of how far we all have come. The energy was so palpable as it was clear to everyone present that it took more than just hard work and dedication but God’s hand to survive and thrive in the Ministry of Helps that is Little Saints Orphanage.
THE FOUNDER'S PSALM OF THANKSGIVING
Rev. (Mrs) George, Our Founder had specially composed a Psalm of Thanksgiving which beautifully showcased the milestones of her journey as the pioneer of the first Lagos State registered orphanage. She spoke powerfully about how God’s protection and provision were always evident in the last 29 years and it made so many of the guests present truly understand that walking with God will always show evidence. For her, the evidence of God’s faithfulness as she called them are the hundreds of children who have been cared for, educated, adopted, fed and rehabilitated through this wonderful act of service to God.
Here is an excerpt of the moving psalm composed by Rev. (Mrs.) George
THE SPECIAL PERFORMANCES
The Children took the stage and wowed us with some excellent performances. It was so refreshing to see them joyfully dance, sing, rap and be a part of the day’s celebration with so much passion and love for their family’s great achievement in this milestone.
There were also special performances from Dapo, a gospel rap artiste as well as a comedy act from Dr. Still Ringing who got us all smiling and laughing.
THE TESTIMONIES FROM LITTLE SAINTS ORPHANAGE ALUMNI
Two of the Little Saints Alumni gave moving speeches about their experience in Little Saints Orphanages.
Francis spoke about his own experience being found and brought to the home and how he is now a First Class graduate of Physics & Electronics and is gainfully employed after his NYSC service year.
Precious spoke about how she came to the home at age 7 and is now a graduate of Political Science and owns her own make up line. This is an encouragement to all our Sponsors and Friends to never stop doing what you are doing, You are real life superheroes because each day you are part of changing the lives of the most vulnerable to make them rising stars.
Another beautiful moment of celebration came from the Safe Haven for Children beneficiaries. Six beneficiaries received the certificates of completion from the bag making course at Safe Haven for Children. Pastor Kola Ayeye, our opening speaker who is the senior pastor of Friends of God fellowship and the Executive vice chairman of Growth & Development Asset Management Ltd handed over the certificates to the graduates.
We are so excited to see what is next for Safe Haven for Children in helping to empower the next generation. Always remember, our dear friends that there are both heavenly and earthly rewards that accrue to you as a Sponsor or Friend of Little Saints Orphanage. As Pastor Kola Ayeye had noted, there are blessings that come by association. GOD BLESS YOU.
