A few of the more than six-hundred students who attend Alpha and Omega Schools.

   

 

 

 

These two classroom buildings face one another on the campus quadrant.  There are a total of seven classroom buildings on campus.

   

Construction of the new science lab building is will under way.

   

A multi-purpose building includes a kitchen and is used for a dinning hall as well as a student assembly room.

   

A six year old student recites Bible verses at an assembly in the multi-purpose building.

   

A new wheel chair from the Congregational Home in Brookfield, Wisconsin will help this family cope with the middle child's birth defect.

   

Northern Nigeria is dominated by Muslims while the South is dominated by Christians.  Christ to the Villages is located in Central Nigeria where these two faiths meet.  Fundamentalist Muslims have attacked churches in the area, including this one, breaking out all the windows in the buildings....

   

setting fire to the chancel ... and pulpit, removing the pulpit cross.
   

Much of the church interior was damaged including these furnishings which had to be discarded.

No one was seriously injured during the confrontation.

   

 I want to make a contribution to the work of this mission!
