Update: Nigerian Widows' Center

Fall 2006

At the beginning of September 2006, Linda received word from Pastor Tony Agwaniru that the plots of land had been made available to build the widows' center in Onitsha, Nigeria. Joy sprang up in the team!

That same week Michigan State University donated over 400 desks, 200 hutches, and 40 tilt back chairs for the centers. Catch this-4,000 square feet have been chalked off in a warehouse by a man of God so that the donated furniture has housing until the future centers are prepared.

There's more! A young man who inherited land from his father in Kenya is desirous of us partnering with him to build a widows' center. Of course, we are overwhelmed by God's provision.

A few months ago, we were approached by another ministry in Mali who are also willing to donate land for the same purpose.

Now, you can see why all those desks came when they did.

Of course, plans are in the mix for raising necessary funds to raise the buildings.

Winter/Spring 2007

"W3" is our Phase II project to raise money for the widows center in Nigeria. We must build a wall, a water tower and a well before the actual building is constructed. The total cost of Phase II is $24,000. If you would like more information on Phase II or would like to donate toward the project please email linda@startministries.com.

April 2007

We are half way to our goal of raising $24,000 for the "W3" Project. We are in the process of securing the paper work for purchasing the land in Nigeria. That is in the hands of the Lord and the lawyer! Keep that in prayer.
