Our Children are Letters for our ministry.....

“You are a letter from Christ showing the result of our ministry among you. This letter is not written with pen and ink but with the spirit of the living God , it is carved not on tablets of stone but on human hearts.” (2 Corinthians 3 v 3 )

Our children’s changed lives speak for themselves they are our letters that show in essence what Kings Kids ( an arm of City Ministries of EMS ) is all about. Currently we look after 250 children living with us in our care centres, Orphans and Vulnerable children from across Nigeria.

One such child is Emmanuella a 12 year old girl who

came to our ministry two and a half years ago. When she was brought to our centre at Gidan Bege she was in a bad state, our staff were moved to tears when they saw the extent of the maltreatment she had received at the hands of a local “prayer man “. She lost her mother and her father left her with her Grandmother, She was falsely accused by an aunt of being involved in the secret society as people living around were becoming sick and she was taken by her aunt to a local “prayer man “ for help. He proceeded to burn her with a heating iron in order to get a confession , on her arms, legs and back. She was branded like an animal with a hot tool ! !

She was in so much pain and so confessed and therefore her life was in danger from the community wanting to kill her, and so she was brought to our ministry.

When she first came she was traumatised and very afraid whenever prayer was mentioned , she was very difficult to draw close to physically and was angry and confused with her family for allowing this to happen to her. We found the family and counselled them as to the effect of the damage their actions had caused to Emmanuella, , they were repentant and came to see her and sought her forgiveness. She readily forgave them and they all cried together. Gradually over the last two years they have visited us and she has visited them, she has grown spiritually and is understanding the power of prayer to fight against the attacks of Satan in order to protect herself. She has learned to love again and has physically healed from her injuries and has become a happy, outgoing child. Now this summer she is going to be reconciled and go and live back with her family.

God has done this. He has brought healing physically, spiritually and emotionally. He has restored the relationships in this family amazingly and has turned a horrible situation into good.

She is a letter from Christ

going back into her

community showing the results of our ministry upon her life, a living testimony of why Kings Kids is needed and just one story among many.
