Pastor Doug Weiser, WELS liaison to our sister churches in Nigeria, shares a story from Mrs. Johnny’s clinic, Uruk Uso, Nigeria.

We sincerely thank the people of WELS for the support towards our Childbirth Clinic construction.

I am glad to inform you that the construction of Mrs. Johnny’s childbirth clinic is still in progress, and we are working seriously towards the accomplishment of this goal. We have been able to round up the blocks work with the funds sent, hoping to continue from there soon.

We thank the Lord almighty for his blessings, opportunity granted my mother to save lives through child delivery and medications. We had new converts yesterday at CTKLC (Christ the King Lutheran Church), Uruk Uso as a result of Mrs. Johnny preaching to patients during treatment.

There is a story I want to share with you and WELS Humanitarian Aid Committee about how God used Mrs. Johnny to save Mrs Ikponke Ikpe Moses (a pregnant woman). She came to my mother for treatment and child delivery, after treatment by traditional healers failed.  My mother asked her if she had gotten treatment anywhere, she said yes, that she has been getting treatment from one of the traditional midwives. My mum questioned her again why she did not deliver her baby there. She replied that the traditional healer popularly known as Tom-tom declared that her baby was a stillbirth ( i.e. her baby was dead right inside her womb), and that the only solution is for her to go the hospital for abortion in order to save her life, after paying a huge amount to the midwife.  My mother asked her if she believes in God, she said yes. After several tests, my mother encouraged her to put her faith in Jesus Christ. She was properly admitted and as God will like it, she gave birth after two nights to a living and bouncing baby boy.

Behold, when God proved himself as a miracle worker for her, the mother vowed to serve God with us.

Kind regards.
