"Reflecting His Glory" - #lovingyourself

I know a girl; her name is Afiniki. She started Forte Charity for Inspiration. She was in the middle of a mess (so we thought at the time) when she started it. She was kicked out of university because she couldn’t pay her fees- that was the inspiration for starting. Through the tough situation, she thought

There are others in my position! The money she needed was for an international student in an advanced economy, but there are students in not-so-advanced economies in the same situation needing not as much as she needed, and her little will help! This young girl applied a Kingdom principle—Give, and it shall be given!

Over 16 years, Forte, Charity for Inspiration has been in Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and South Sudan. We are looking to expand our reach and are currently considering 2 more countries.

Forte has trained many doctors (just one person’s donation has trained 6 doctors in Nigeria) and other professionals, paid so many school fees, renovated schools, and supported widows. Displaced families supported. Water supply to a community... And so many more good works to write up in a social media post!

You will be fooled to think this little girl who started this did all these things by herself! People’s money did it, volunteers did it, and friends came alongside.

Ephesians 5:25-30 CEV

[25] A husband should love his wife as much as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it. [26] He made the church holy by the power of his word, and he made it pure by washing it with water. [27] Christ did this, so he would have a glorious and holy church, without faults or spots or wrinkles or any other flaws. [28] In the same way, a husband should love his wife as much as he loves himself. A husband who loves his wife shows he loves himself. [29] None of us hate our bodies.

We provide for them and take good care of them, just as Christ does for the church, [30] because we are each part of his body.

Immensely proud of this girl, Afiniki, who is now a fine lady, a great mother to her children, and a great wife to her husband. Love you, Omoge!
