LABOR WARD OUTREACH 2026 – A TESTIMONY OF GOD'S FAITHFULNESS
The journey to our Labor Ward Outreach began in March 2026, shortly after our school outreach project in February. As a team, we sought God's direction concerning our next project. During one of our Charity Development Sessions (CDS), the idea of visiting hospital patients came up, and immediately, the burden to reach mothers in the labor ward was laid on my heart. My team embraced the vision, and we committed the project to prayer.
By God's grace, we visited the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Abeokuta, with an official letter stating our intention. The management welcomed us warmly. However, a conversation with one of the nurses revealed a heartbreaking incident involving the loss of a mother during childbirth. This deeply touched us and strengthened our resolve to pray fervently for the mothers and babies we would meet.
On May 27, we arrived at the labor ward and were moved by the condition of many mothers, some of whom were in severe pain and unable to sit comfortably. Despite their challenges, they listened attentively as we shared words of encouragement and hope.
A special appreciation goes to the CEO of Zee Nutriva, who shared an inspiring message on motherhood, and Barrister Dammy, the outgoing Assistant Secretary of NCCF Ogun State, who spoke about the love of God. Their words brought comfort and encouragement to the mothers.
We distributed support items, prayed with the mothers, and witnessed God's faithfulness throughout the outreach. The mothers also prayed for us, making it a deeply emotional and rewarding experience.
This project gave us a greater appreciation for the sacrifices of motherhood and reinforced our commitment to continue supporting these families through follow-up and prayer.
We believe these children will be great, and above all, God will be glorified. We return all the glory to Him for the success of this outreach.
