PROMISE DELIVERED!

On September 30, 2007
Fountain of Praise held its 3rd Worship for Change
concert in aid of the Arrows of God orphanage, Ajah. The
concert held at the Lagoon Restaurant in Victoria
Island. The event was free of charge and people were
invited specially. Several corporate bodies namely C&I
Leasing Plc, Protea Hotel [Victoria Island], Frontier
Reelmix Ventures, Laterna ventures, Nadina Industries
Limited, Kraft, Modamo.com, E&M Business Solutions,
Aholiab Works and Gallery magazine sponsored the event
and helped to cover the cost of hosting the event.
For those of us at the event, we remember how the event
rocked with King Smith as MC and Bob Fitts, David Baroni, Gbenga Adenuga and Prophecy performing. A
photo-documentary was shown to shed light on the work
Rev. Mrs D.C. Ogo was doing at the Arrows of God
orphanage.
Lead advisor, Worship for Change concerts in a few words
encouraged all present to make a difference by giving.
Over N3 million was pledged. N2.7 million was redeemed.
Amount redeemed has been utilised in procuring and
installing a brand new 60kva generator. We also built
the orphanage a diesel tank and supplied 500 litres of
diesel. We also procured for them 3 air conditioners in
addition to redesigning and printing corporate brochures
for the orphanage.
Rev. Mrs. Ogo who initially had been a bit skeptical about
our efforts due to been deceived in the past by other
persons and organizations was overjoyed when the
generator was delivered. According to her, Oke-Iranla,
Ajah where the orphanage is located experiences power
cuts for more than a week. This generator has helped to
provide comfort for the hundreds of children including
babies in this orphanage.
The generator, diesel, tank, air conditioners and brochures
were officially presented to the Rev. Mrs. Ogo in full
view of a number journalists who had been invited to the
presentation. Mrs Ogo, the staff and the children at the
orphanage expressed their deep appreciation to all who
gave. At Fountain of Praise we are also saying a
PROFOUND thank you. It a privilege to be able to
facilitate this blessing. Next Worship for Change
concert is Sunday, September 21st 2008.
