"…The stone the builders rejected is now the head corner stone." We are happy to inform you that one of the girls we awarded a Scholarship just a few years ago at Ijamido Children's Home would be among the Graduating Class this Spring. To God be the Glory. Stella Willoughby was abandoned at birth by her Mum. She was found and brought to the Children’s Home where she grew up a loving, God fearing Lady. Ijamido Children’s home is located in Ota, in Ogun State. Ota is located about 40 miles from the bustling City of Lagos, Nigeria. Precious Souls awarded Stella a College Scholarship three years ago. With strength and determination She graduates this Spring. We thank all our supporters and friends. Much as we try to avoid naming names, we cannot but mention Roland and Andre Wiley who for the past couple of years have never failed to send us their monthly contributions to support the less privileged. May the Lord continue to reward you. Our gratitude goes to Helen Hatfield Sharpe who goes out of her way every year to assist with the payment of Stella’s School fees.

Precious Souls is happy to inform you that we have pledged this year to provide the needed funds to send six Children to School from the Alexandria Township in Johannesburg in South Africa. A request was made to us by Ikhaya Lethu-a brainchild of youths who are infected or affected by the HIV/AIDS virus. Ikhaya Lethu provides care and material support to child-headed family orphans around the Alexandria Township. We will also be providing Children’s Braille and Tactile books to Biblionef to support the work they are doing among the disabled Children in Cape Town and other areas of South Africa.

We like to express our sincere condolence and appreciation to the Constanza Family,on the passing away of their Mother and Mother-in-Law, our beloved Monta Spaulding. Bill and Gini requested that in lieu of Flowers, money be donated to the Precious Souls Ministry to help the Children of Africa. May her soul rest in peace, and may the Lord comfort and console the family.
