A MILLION -DOLLAR OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT THE NEEDY WIDOWS COMMUNITIES IN NIGERIA
How would you feel if someone knocked on your door tomorrow, holding a big cheque of $1m? Would you jump up and down? Cheer? Cry? Thank God?
Who wouldn't want that kind of life-changing surprise? And yet, there is a way in which each one of us should be jumping, cheering, and thanking God for something equally valuable. We may not have a million dollars.... But each of us has a million -dollar opportunity!
Each of us has been born in the most exciting, rewarding time on planet earth- a time when the great commission is potentially just a few years, months, or even days from being fulfilled. That's an opportunity of a lifetime.
Opportunity to stand for the gospel of reaching the unreached groups. I mean the poor, neglected, dying, sick, troubled, orphans, widows, widowers, motherless and people who have never experienced the love of Jesus.
How can you help? You can, by helping people find love and life. You can build your faith, cast your vision, through joining an organization that God is already using.
Time for you to hold our hands like Aaron held up Moses' hands when the children of Israel fought against the enemy. As long as Moses' hands were upraised, they won; but when his hands were at his side, they began to lose.
So it is with global missions today. We have the chance to be Aarons - someone called to give to those who go. Let us help, so that when He comes, we will be able to say we played our own roll.
The focus here is on a foundation- type ministry called " James 1: 27 Global Mission" a Strategic Project for the care of widows/widowers and their families. On the other side is the mission to orphans. When widows die, their home becomes an orphanage.
This is the work of Ayo Yemisi Jaiyeola, as she continues after the death of her husband who brought her into the love and care of this select community of women. Ayo calls them including herself " sisters of sorrow, daughters of void". WE ARE IN THE VOID.
Ayo is a minister in the congregation of widows. A group that started with about 30 now over 25,000 widows in Nigeria alone. Widowhood is a minute by minute occurrence. Work has been easier to run with the help of real people like you who have come along to support by voluntary donations.
PLEASE Come with me. Let's do this together for the sake of God and these needy groups.
The bible enjoins us to help at James 1: 27. The purest religion God accepts is to take care of WIDOWS and Orphans in their distress…..
Serendipity House Nigeria is the body that God handed the vision to in 1995. Serendipity has been on the fore front of ministering to women and girls in the general aspect of their lives.
As if God wanted to make Ayo, the founder to keep her duties to widows alone, her very caring and loving husband Omooba Venerable Dr. Babatunde Oluyemisi Abisoye Jaiyeola who served God in the lives of the POOR left the scenes of life Wednesday 13th February 2008. 15 years ago. This made Ayo to know and feel the pains in widowhood.
Ayo has a large team of other widows who go out in search of widows and bring them home to recovery at their home " Zarephath House" Maryland, Lagos, Nigeria.
They look for foods, living materials and comfort for these families without a father.
God's Wives International is the baby of Serendipity House Widows Foundation.
Now….. Beloved FELLOW,
Humble greetings.
There are over 4,850,000 widows in Nigeria and over 8,000,000 fatherless children. Some widows are childless due to no fault of theirs and they need love to keep living.
As we all know that WIDOWHOOD has no tribal mark, no religious denomination or social status. It happens regularly on a street, in a family, in a company and everywhere.
GOD KNOWS YOU!
PLEASE BE OUR SUPPORTER….. OUR FELLOW AND PARTNER IN GOD’S NAME.
We have chosen you due to the reason that YOU CAN FEED THE POOR in the society. When we thought of having PARTNERS & FELLOWS for our organization, we have immediately come up with your name. You are one of the best that fit the position.
YEARLY… It costs the center about N15,000,000 to expend on new and old widows. These financial supports cover all our weekly Counseling, welcome and social meetings, monthly fellowships and yearly INTERNATIONAL WIDOWS DAY and END OF YEAR events.
WE ARE WORKING AT GETTING A SHELTER FOR HOMELESS AND GENERALLY NEEDY WIDOWS. THIS WILL COST OVER N250,000,000 (Two Hundred and Fifty Million Naira).
When you join the Patrons/Supporters/ Partners group, our work will be easier.

WHY GIVE TO SHWF?
Simply put, without YOU, we cannot continue to grow, serve, empower widows everywhere to thrive and plan for the next generation of widows... DAILY…LIFE AND NATURE WILL CONTINUE TO CREATE WIDOWS!! YES!!
Empowering widows in a community with education, resources and inspiration not only benefits THEM, but the powerful circles nearest to their hearts like their children, family, friends and co-workers too!! All in all, our widow mentoring and leadership model greatly impacts our local communities and country in an enormous way!
We believe that it is vitally important in society to build these new Projects together.
No longer is it okay to just offer widows some token grief-resources. THEY ARE JUST UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE WHO WANT A NEW LEASE OF LIFE? Help them...help US please....to grow and be empowered and to be heard. We are honored to know you will walk this journey with us on a daily basis. PLEASE PARTNER WITH US.
The joy of brightening other lives, bearing each others' burdens, easing other's loads and supplanting empty hearts and lives with generous gifts, support become for us the magic in the whole service to the needy.
We are inviting several small, medium and big businesses, religious organizations like yours and families to participate in this mission.. We are very hopeful that you will extend your generous support to our foundation. We look forward to your positive response.
AT THE WIDOWS CENTRE…. DONORS NAMES WILL BE ON THE WALLS.
