In January of 2020, we received a generous donation to build a residence for the lead doctor at Graceland Hospital in Gusau. The hospital was completed in late 2018, but up until now, we have not had a residence for the lead doctor. It is important to have on-site housing so the doctor can be available in emergencies.

By Dr. Arome Okeme It was about 10.20pm when they came in. The mother was looking distraught and shaken, while the father, a young man in probably his mid 20s, concealed his emotions, although beneath the veneer of his calmness, I could sense he was frightened. He held the little raggedy looking child in his arms passionately. The two were a beauty to behold. This was their only child and judging from their countenance, they were terrified of the possibility of losing her. I was wasted, exhausted, drained, famished and fagged out. All I wanted was a shower, something to eat and the warmth of my bed. I had just finished a long stretch of resuscitating the head-injured young man from a road accident.  Dear Friends and Supporters, This year has been a difficult year for everyone here in the US. The COVID 19 pandemic, the lockdowns and the subsequent economic crisis has wreaked havoc all over the world. As bad as it has been here at home, it has been even more difficult for the our six clinics and the thousands of people they serve in Nigeria.  Ministry of Mutual Respect Between Christians and Muslims in the Anglican Diocese of Gusau10/7/2020 The Anglican Diocese of Gusau is located in the capital city of Zamfarra State in the north of Nigeria. In this part of Nigeria, Christians are a small minority (about 10%) among a Muslim majority (about 90%). Since the time of Nigerian independence from Britain (1960), there has been much animosity and violence toward the Christian populations in the northern states, particularly in Gusau.

They are not officially sponsored by any government. They are makeshift villages of squatters who have been driven from their homes by ethnic violence.  |
